Aim : Does autonomic nervous system impact on resting-state functional connectivity ? Methods : We acquired the heart rate variability as a measure of ANS simultaneously with rs-fcMRI. We measured the correlation between LF-component of HRV and each region time-course. We measured the HRV impact on the connectivity of each region with all other regions. Results : We evidenced that the HRV correlates negatively with the time-course of brain regions and biases the connectivity measures between brain regions. Conclusion : In rs-fcMRI, the impact of ANS has to be taken into account for proper interpretation of results from group studies.
