Resting state functional MRI (RS-fMRI) using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) technique is used to evaluate the functional connectivity of the human brain. Brain homotopy (inter-hemispheric coordination) is a fundamental characteristic of the intrinsic functional architecture, which now can be assessed with RS-fMRI. Regional homogeneity (Reho) is another brain characteristic and RS-fMRI measure for local brain synchronization. In this study, we have evaluated how CO2 breathing can influence brain functional homotopy and Reho in healthy brains at rest in order to better understand the physiologic respiratory challenge on global inter-hemispheric and local neighboring neurons functional correlations.
