[[abstract]]Resting-state studies organized with aphasic stroke patients are limited. We explored whether patients with better speech ability showed differences in resting-state functional connectivity. Five right-handed stroke patients with aphasia and left middle cerebral artery territory infarction were included in the study. Stroke pa- tients received Concise Chinese Aphasia Test and functional MRI scan 9–12 weeks after stroke. ROI-wise functional connectivity (FC) analysis was performed using the REST toolkit (Song et al., 2011). The analysis included six networks: the language network (LN), left central executive network (LCEN), right central execu- tive network (RCEN), dorsal default mode network (dDMN), and ventral default mode network (vDMN). We explored the FC be- tween these five networks and correlated the results with CCAT scores. Significant correlations between the CCAT scores and th
