abstract = {It has not yet been established if resting state (RS)
connectivity reflects stable characteristics of the brain,
or if it is modulated by the psychological and/or
physiological state of the participant. Based on research
demonstrating sex hormonal effects in task-related brain
activity, the present study aimed to investigate
corresponding differences in RS networks. RS functional
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RS fMRI) was conducted in women
during three different menstrual cycle phases, while men
underwent three repeated RS fMRI testing sessions.
Independent component analysis was used to identify the
default mode network (DMN) and an auditory RS network. For
the DMN, RS connectivity was stable across testing sessions
in men, but varied across the menstrual cycle in women. For
the auditory network (AN), retest reliable sex difference
was found. Although RS activity in the DMN has been
interpreted as trait characteristic of functional brain
organization, these findings suggest that RS activity in
networks involving frontal areas might be less stable than
in sensory-based networks and can dynamically fluctuate.
This also implies that some of the previously reported
effects of sex hormones on task-related activity might to
some extent be mediated by cycle-related fluctuations in RS
activity, especially when frontal areas are involved.},
