The functional connectivity study on the brainstem-cortical/subcortical structures in responders following cervical vagus nerve stimulation.

CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent seizures caused disturbances in brainstem-cortical/subcortical FC, especially in motor executive function related regions and default mode network. VNS could reorganize the altered FC between brainstem and insula, precuneus, and cerebellum in responders.
