Objective:To explore the areas of abnormal brain activity in patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI),revealing underlying neural mechanisms in patients with IBS.Methods:The literature before March 2023 were searched,which discussed the abnormal brain activity changes on resting state in patients with IBS u-sing amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF),fraction amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(fALFF)and regional homogeneity(ReHo)methods.The brain regions with abnormal local spontane-ous brain activity in IBS patients compared with healthy volunteers in previous studies were summa-rized,and the data were analyzed by signed differential mapping(SDM)software.Results:A total of 16 studies were included(461 cases of IBS and 416 healthy controls).Based on the meta-analysis,the local spontaneous brain activity of left lingual gyrus,left cuneus,right insular,right middle occipital gyrus and right thalamus significantly increased in IBS patients.However,the local spontaneous brain activi-ty significantly decreased in the right ilerectus muscle,right middle frontal gyrus and right superior marginal gyrus(P<0.001,peak height Z>1,cluster range ≥20 voxel).Conclusion:A meta-analysis was used to identify brain regions with associated abnormal core brain function in IBS patients.These findings help delineate specific areas of interest and understand the neurobiological basis of IBS.
