Patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE-N) represent an important subgroup of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Here, we aimed to combine three voxel-based local brain area analysis methods of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), to examine the TLE-N patients' resting brain function based on neural synchronization and intensity of local brain areas.
