[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the altered functional connectivity (FC) of the default mode network (DMN) in patients with post ischemic stroke depression.Materials and Methods: Thirteen PSD patients and 13 matched normal controls were recruited and the resting-state fMRI images were acquired on a 3.0 T Siemens MRI scanner. The datasets were analyzed using SPM8 and REST. The bilateral precuneus were selected as regions of interest (ROIs), and functional connectivity was calculated and compared between PSD patients and normal controls.Results: The FCs of the DMN was altered in PSD patients compared to normal controls. The brain areas which showed decreased FCs including the bilateral inferior parietal lobule, bilateral frontal lobule and bilateral temporal lobule. However, the increased FC has not been found in the current study.Conclusion: Dysfunction of the DMN may be associated with the development of PSD.
