Atpresent,theneuropathologicalmechanismsandtheplasticchangesofbraincognitivefunctioninpatentswithfrontlobetumorremainunclear,moststudiesjustfocusedonglobalmeasuresofbrainfunctionalconnectivitywithoutconsideringthetimecorrelationinthedifferentregionsofthebrain.Thisstudyaimstoinvestigatebraincognitivealterationsandfunctionalplasticityinpatientswithfrontlobetumoratresting-statebyconductingfunctionalconnectivitydensity(FCD)mappingandgrangercausalityanalysis(GCA).Firstly,FCDmappingwasusedtoextractabnormalfunctionalconnectivity(FC)ofpatientswithfrontallobetumor,andanalyzedalteredbrainFCinbothshort-andlong-rangeFCD.Then,thevoxel-wiseGCAmethodwasusedtoanalyzethecausalrelationshipbetweenalteredFCregionsandotherregionsinordertodetectthetimecorrelationbetweenregionsofinterest(ROI)andrevealthedirectionofinformationflowbetweenbrainROIs.Itwasfoundthatpatientshadincreasedshort-rangeFCDinmotorandspaceattentionfunctionareas,hadincreasedshort-andlong-rangeFCDsbothinTemporalandInsula,andthecausalcoefficientswerechangedobviouslyinTemporalandFrontal.Theresultsshowthatthereisafunctionalplasticityinspaceattentionfunctionareas.TemporalandInsulaareaffectedbytumorinfrontallobe,andfunctionalreorganizationappearsinsideTemporal.
