This study examines the variability in the location of
task-based fMRI activation and compares these results
with resting-state fMRI based target localization. The
result suggests that using a predefined anatomical atlas
coordinates for surgical targeting may not be accurate.
But, using a combination of resting-state and task-based
fMRI can reliably map somatotopy in the thalamus and
somatosensory cortex and hence improve target
identification for neurosurgery of deep brain
structures.
