The Temporal Pattern of a Lesion Modulates the Functional Network Topology of Remote Brain Regions by W. De Baene, G. J. M. Rutten, M. M. Sitskoorn

“…In this study, we compared resting-state functional connectivity data of patients with a slowly growing low-grade glioma (LGG) with that of patients with a faster-growing high-grade glioma (HGG). Using graph theory, we examined whether the tumour growth velocity modulated the functional network topology of remote areas, more specifically of the hemisphere contralateral to the lesion. …”
