We recently reported that spatial and non-spatial attention deficits in stroke patients with hemi-spatial neglect are correlated at 2 weeks post-onset with widespread alterations of inter-hemispheric and intra-hemispheric functional connectivity (FC) measured with resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) across multiple brain networks. The mechanisms underlying neglect recovery are largely unknown. In this study we test the hypothesis that recovery of hemi-spatial neglect correlates with a return of network connectivity toward a normal pattern, herein defined as ‘network normalization’. We measured attention deficits with a neuropsychological battery, and FC in a large cohort of stroke patients at, on average, 2 weeks (n=99), 3 months (n=77), and 12 (n=64) months post onset. The relationship between behavioral improvement and changes in FC was analyzed both in terms of a priori regions and networks known to be abnormal sub-acutely, and in a data driven manner. Attention deficit recovery was mostly complete by 3 months, and was significantly correlated with a normalization of abnormal FC across many networks. Improvement of attention deficits, independent of initial severity, was correlated with improvements of previously depressed inter-hemispheric FC across attention, sensory, and motor networks, and a restoration of the normal anti-correlation between dorsal attention/motor regions and default-mode/frontoparietal regions, particularly in the damaged hemisphere. These results demonstrate that abnormal network connectivity in hemi-spatial neglect is behaviorally relevant. A return toward normal network interactions, and presumably optimal information processing, is therefore a systems level mechanism that is associated with improvements of attention over time after focal injury.
