Brain activity was evaluated by voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity analysis (VMHC). Two groups were analyzed and compared in terms of language FC using the following methods: Seed-to-Voxel analysis, pairwise correlations [region of interest(ROI)-to-ROI] and graph theory. Correlation analysis was performed between network properties and neuropsychological score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with healthy participants, VMHC values in the Cerebellum Anterior Lobe, Frontal Lobe, Frontal_Sup_R\/L, Cingulum_Ant_R\/L, and Cingulum_Mid_R\/L were decreased in TLE patients. Decreased FC was observed from the Cerebelum_10_R to the left inferior frontal gyrus, from the Cerebelum_6_R to the left Lingual Gyrus, from the Cerebelum_4_5_R to left Lingual Gyrus, left Cuneal Cortex and Precuneous Cortex, from the Cerebelum_3_R to Brain-Stem, and from the Cerebelum_Crus1_L to Cerebelum_6_R in TLE patients. The FC was enhanced between bilateral Cingulum_Mid and angular gyrus and frontoparietal insular cranium, between Frontal_Sup_Med L and left\/right superior temporal gyrus (pSTG l\/r), while it was decreased between left middle temporal gyrus and pSTG l\/r. Compared with controls, the Betweenness Centrality (BC) of the right superior marginal gyrus (SMG), Temporal_Pole_Mid_R and Temporal_Mid_L as well as the Degree Centrality (DC) and Nodal Efficiency (NE) of the right SMG were lower in TLE patients. Further analysis showed that decreased VMHC in bilateral Cerebellum Anterior Lobe was positively correlated with the Boston Naming Test score in TLE patients, but it was negatively correlated with the Verbal Fluency Test score. The NE and DC of SMG_R were both negatively correlated with visual perception score in Montreal Cognitive Assessment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that presence of abnormalities in the static functional connectivity and the language and cognitive network of TLE patients.
