Abstract
ObjectiveTo identify whether tumor invasion of the temporal lobe induces functional compensation of the hippocampal-subregion (HIPsub) network connectivity before surgery, and to further validate the stability of this functional compensation within the HIPsub network in patients with temporal glioma tumor (TTumor) after surgical resection of the tumor.MethodsIn the first cohort, analysis of HIPsub functional connectivity (FC) was conducted to identify the functional compensation of the altered HIPsub connectivity pattern in TTumor through a pattern classification approach. Then, the second cohort investigated whether functional compensation in TTumor patients changed after surgical resection of the tumor.ResultsIn the first cohort, this study identified altered HIPsub network connectivity patterns and its functional compensation regions (i.e., left parahippocampal gyrus and bilateral cerebellum anterior lobe) in TTumor patients. Second, the altered HIPsub network connectivity patterns had the power to discriminate TTumor patients from healthy controls (CN) on an individual subject basis, with an AUC of 97.0%, sensitivity of 93.5%, and specificity of 90.3%. Finally, in the second cohort, we found that functional connectivities of functional compensation regions within the HIPsub network in TTumor patients did not change between before and after surgery.ConclusionThis study provides novel evidence regarding functional compensation within the HIPsub network in TTumor patients. It has been suggested that the fine hippocampal subregion was more sensitive, which reveals functional compensation induced by tumor invasion of the temporal lobe. Furthermore, this study verified the stability and persistence of this functional compensation in TTumor patients after surgical resection of the tumor.
