We report, to our knowledge, the first application of a dynamic rsfMRI approach in mice and show the reliable detection of Quasi-Periodic Patterns (QPP) at both the group-level as well as in single-subject data. These patterns are consistent with QPPs detected previously in humans and rats, displaying a high intensity wave spreading across the cortex from lateral towards upward medial, followed by a low intensity wave in the same direction. These findings are promising for the application of QPPs towards investigating mouse resting state functional connectivity and its development as a potential new pre-clinical tool.
