abstract = {Acute ischemic stroke disturbs healthy brain organization,
prompting subsequent plasticity and reorganization to
compensate for loss of specialized neural tissue and
function. Static resting-state functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) studies have already furthered our
understanding of cerebral reorganization by estimating
stroke-induced changes in network connectivity aggregated
over the duration of several minutes. In this study, we
utilized dynamic resting-state fMRI analyses to increase
temporal resolution to seconds and explore transient
configurations of motor network connectivity in acute
stroke. To this end, we collected resting-state fMRI data of
31 acute ischemic stroke patients and 17 age-matched healthy
controls. Stroke patients presented with moderate to severe
hand motor deficits. By estimating dynamic connectivity
within a sliding window framework, we identified three
distinct connectivity configurations of motor-related
networks. Motor networks were organized into three regional
domains, i.e. a cortical, subcortical and cerebellar domain.
Temporal connectivity patterns of stroke patients markedly
diverged from those of healthy controls depending on the
severity of the initial motor impairment. Moderately
affected patients (n=18) spent significantly more time in a
weakly connected configuration that was characterized by low
levels of connectivity, both locally as well as between
distant regions. In contrast, severely affected patients
(n=13) showed a significant preference for transitions into
a spatially segregated connectivity configuration. This
configuration featured particularly high levels of local
connectivity within the three regional domains as well as
anti-correlated connectivity between distant networks across
domains. A third connectivity configuration represented an
intermediate connectivity pattern compared to the preceding
two, and predominantly encompassed decreased
inter-hemispheric connectivity between cortical motor
networks independent of individual deficit severity.
Alterations within this third configuration thus closely
resembled previously reported ones originating from static
resting-state fMRI studies post-stroke. In summary, acute
ischemic stroke not only prompted changes in connectivity
between distinct functional networks, yet also caused severe
aberrations in temporal properties of large-scale network
interactions depending on the individual deficit severity.
These findings offer new vistas on the dynamic neural
mechanisms underlying acute neurological symptoms, cortical
reorganization and treatment effects in stroke patients.},
