Editor’s Choice The authors conducted preoperative and intraoperative resting-state intrinsic functional connectivity analyses of the motor cortex in 30 patients with brain tumors. Factors that may influence intraoperative imaging quality, including anesthesia type and tumor cavity, were studied. Additionally, direct
Editor’s Choice Editor’s Comment Task-based approaches to functional localization of the motor cortex have limitations such as long scanning times and exclusion of patients with severe functional or neurologic disabilities and children. Resting-state fMRI may avoid these difficulties because patients
