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.
