AbstractWe discuss the value of resting-state functional MR imaging (rsfMR imaging) as an emerging technique to address questions about memory and language that are central in surgery for temporal-lobe epilepsy, namely the identification and characterization of eloquent cortex to avoid surgical morbidity. The emergence of a robust set of data using rsfMR imaging has opened new avenues for exploring more direct relationships between neural networks and current cognitive function and prediction of postoperative change. These techniques are also being explored for their potential to characterize epilepsy subtypes, identify epileptic foci, and monitor treatment effects.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
