  • a Data are mean ± standard error. Normalized fALFF was significantly decreased, while WE was significantly higher in FCD lesions and perilesional zones (up to 2 cm) than in the contralateral homotopic cortex and control subjects. ReHo was significantly higher in FCD lesions. BOLD measures were normalized with the entire contralateral cortex.

  • b Significant differences (P < .05) with the contralateral homotopic cortex and the same region in controls, respectively.
