All subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a quiet state to determine the values of rsFC, long-range FCD (longFCD), and short-range FCD (IFCD). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to distinguish patients from HCs.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The ON group exhibited obviously lower longFCD values in the left inferior frontal gyrus triangle, the right precuneus and the right anterior cingulate, and paracingulate gyri\/median cingulate and paracingulate gyri. The left median cingulate and paracingulate gyri and supplementary motor area (SMA) were also significantly lower. Obviously reduced IFCD values were observed in the left middle temporal gyrus\/angular gyrus\/SMA and right cuneus\/SMA compared with HCs.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Abnormal neural activities were found in specific brain regions in patients with ON. Specifically, they showed significant changes in rsFC, longFCD, and IFCD values. These may be useful to identify the specific mechanism of change in brain function in ON.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2021.718973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]],"date-time":"2021-10-14T08:27:25Z","timestamp":1634200045000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Functional Connectivity Density Mapping in Patients With Optic Neuritis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mei-Xia","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Si-Yi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya-Li","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1031","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awl039","article-title":"Selective magnetization transfer ratio decrease in the visual cortex following optic neuritis.","volume":"129","author":"Audoin","year":"2006","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.2174\/156720511795745294","article-title":"Dementia and the default mode.","volume":"8","author":"Beason-Held","year":"2011","journal-title":"Curr.
