Two-thirds of patients with focal epilepsy there are no identifiable brain lesions on conventional MR imaging. Resting-state blood-oxygenation-level-dependence (BOLD) functional MRI (rs-fMRI) was proposed to detect the epileptogenic zone (EZ), irritative zone (IZ), pacemaker zone (PZ) or ictal symptomatic zone (ISZ) based on local functional connectivity of inter-ictal neuronal discharge. In this study, the database-approach of Brain Cloud was tested using the rs-fMRI of on-site or web-site database of rs-fMRI. Correlation with electrocorticography (ECoG) was applied for verification, and time-lag functional netwrok of rs-fMRI was derived for mapping the dynamics of zones related to seizure.
