Synopsis

Adding to the literature of resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) in preoperative planning, we investigated the similarity of a task based fMRI (tbfMRI) language protocol to a pan-language functional connectivity map in 10 healthy subjects. When comparing the whole brain there is relatively low Jaccard and Sorensen-Dice similarity between rsfMRI and tbfMRI language activity, however when looking at separate cortical anatomical regions the language areas are among those having the highest similarity. Additionally, there is a significantly higher similarity in the left IFG pars triangularis. This suggests that rsfMRI could be used reliably to determine Broca’s area in preoperative planning.
