[Abstract] Objective To explore the altered static and dynamic functional connectivity of the brain in patients with left-sided basal ganglia stroke (L-BGS) versus right-sided basal ganglia stroke (R-BGS) and to further explore the mechanisms of stroke lateralisation.Materials and Methods Twenty-three L-BGS patients, 18 R-BGS patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs) were analysed, and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) was performed on each of the three groups of subjects. Based on rs-fMRI and sliding window techniques, static functional connectivity analysis and dynamic functional connectivity analysis were performed on the two groups of patients and HCs, respectively.Results In static brain network connectivity analysis, L-BGS patients had more extensive increased and decreased intra-network connectivity compared to HCs (P<0.001, cluster level FWE correction); R-BGS patients had more extensive impaired inter-network connectivity compared to HCs (P<0.016 7, FDR correction). In dynamic connectivity analyses, L-BGS showed more positive reorganisation of network connectivity compared to HCs (P<0.05, FDR corrected).Conclusions The present study confirms that within 1 month of basal ganglia stroke onset, L-BGS patients show more positive compensatory changes in static and dynamic brain network connectivity.
