Functional cortical changes have been demonstrated in patients with several neurological conditions, including stroke, tumors and MS. The correlation found between the extent of fMRI activations and the extent and severity of brain structural damage suggests an adaptive role of these functional changes. In this study, we assess, using fMRI, the brain pattern of movement-associated cortical activations in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) patients and investigate whether the extent of cortical reorganization is associated with the extent of brain pathology, measured on dual-echo and diffusion tensor (DT) MR images. |
