Objective: in this study we test the feasibility of recording and identifying the resting networks in patients operated under intraoperative MRI control.

Methods: The resting state fMRI was performed intraoperatively before and after resection of different intracerebral lesions in diverse locations. Ten patients were included in this study. The images were prepressed and then the resting networks were analyzed using two approaches: Seed region analysis and independent component analysis.

Results: The resting networks can be identified. The activities can be influenced be the tumor location and can be correlated- in some patients- with the clinical status.

Conclusion: Monitoring and analysis of resting network could a method for monitoring the neural functions during cranial surgery. It could be helpful for better functional preservation.
