Altered static and dynamic spontaneous neural activity in patients with ischemic pontine stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of the study was to investigate the abnormality both of static spontaneous brain activity and dynamic temporal variances following a pontine infarction.

Methods

Forty-six patients with chronic left pontine infarction (LPI), thirty-two patients with chronic right pontine infarction (RPI), and fifty healthy controls (HCs) were recruited for the study. The static amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (sALFF), static regional homogeneity (sReHo), dynamic ALFF (dALFF), and dynamic ReHo (dReHo) were employed to detect the alterations in brain activity induced by an infarction. The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test and Flanker task were used to evaluate the verbal memory and visual attention function, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve ana
