Characterization of the default mode network as a complex network of functionally interacting dynamic systems has received great interest for clinical application. ALS is a progresssive disease that is associated with motor disorder. Little is know about how ALS affects the defualt mode network. The aim of this study is to assess the complex network of DMN while in the resting state, which can provide greated insight into how DMN functional networks are affected by ALS.
