[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the abnormal changes in baseline brain activity of the chronic stroke patients by using fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) of resting-state fMRI.Materials and Methods: Sixteen chronic stroke patients with left subcortical lesions and sixteen age and sex- matched healthy volunteers were performed resting-state fMRI scans. Values of fALFF were calculated in the frequency ranging from 0.01-0.08 Hz. Two-sample t-test was performed to compare the differences in fALFF between the two groups (P<0.05, corrected by AlphaSim).Results: Compared with the healthy controls, the areas where the fALFF values decreased in stroke patients mainly located in the ipsilesional thalamus and basal ganglia, of which, the fALFF values of the ipsilesional thalamus showed significantly positive correlation with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores in stroke patients (r=0.54, P=0.03<0.05).Conclusion: The abnormal spontaneous neural activity of the stroke is closely related to lesions site and hand motor dysfunction. These findings help us to further understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of the motor dysfunction in stroke.
