This study demonstrates a novel rsfMRI application in
the human spinal cord. The challenges and solutions were
detailed. Reproducibility within and across subject was
demonstrated. A major finding is that there were
multiple prominent rsfMRI patterns in the spinal cord,
showing lateral connectivity, unilateral connectivity
and top-down connectivity. Future studies will improve
spatial resolution, image the entire spinal cord, and
map spinal cord connectivity to the brain, as well as
explore clinical applications.
