abstract = {When using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for
mapping important language functions, a high test-retest
reliability is mandatory, both in basic scientific research
and for clinical applications. We, therefore, systematically
tested the short- and long-term reliability of fMRI in a
group of healthy subjects using a picture naming task and a
sparse-sampling fMRI protocol. We hypothesized that
test-retest reliability might be higher for (i)
speech-related motor areas than for other language areas and
for (ii) the short as compared to the long intersession
interval.16 right-handed subjects (mean age: 29 years)
participated in three sessions separated by 2–6 (session 1
and 2, short-term) and 21–34 days (session 1 and 3,
long-term). Subjects were asked to perform the same overt
picture naming task in each fMRI session (50 black-white
images per session). Reliability was tested using the
following measures: (i) Euclidean distances (ED) between
local activation maxima and Centers of Gravity (CoGs), (ii)
overlap volumes and (iii) voxel-wise intraclass correlation
coefficients (ICCs). Analyses were performed for three
regions of interest which were chosen based on whole-brain
group data: primary motor cortex (M1), superior temporal
gyrus (STG) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG).Our results
revealed that the activation centers were highly reliable,
independent of the time interval, ROI or hemisphere with
significantly smaller ED for the local activation maxima
(6.451.36 mm) as compared to the CoGs (8.032.01 mm). In
contrast, the extent of activation revealed rather low
reliability values with overlaps ranging from $24\%$ (IFG)
to $56\%$ (STG). Here, the left hemisphere showed
significantly higher overlap volumes than the right
hemisphere. Although mean ICCs ranged between poor (ICC<0.5)
and moderate (ICC 0.5–0.74) reliability, highly reliable
voxels (ICC>0.75) were found for all ROIs. Voxel-wise
reliability of the different ROIs was influenced by the
intersession interval.Taken together, we could show that,
despite of considerable ROI-dependent variations of the
extent of activation over time, highly reliable centers of
activation can be identified using an overt picture naming
paradigm.},
