Epilepsy is a common brain network disorder associated with disrupted large‐scale excitatory and inhibitory neural interactions. Recent resting‐state fMRI evidence indicates that global signal (GS) fluctuations that have commonly been ignored are linked to neural activity. However, the mechanisms underlying the altered global pattern of fMRI spontaneous fluctuations in epilepsy remain unclear. Here, we quantified GS topography using beta weights obtained from a multiple regression model in a large group of epilepsy with different subtypes (98 focal temporal epilepsy; 116 generalized epilepsy) and healthy population (n = 151). We revealed that the nonuniformly distributed GS topography across association and sensory areas in healthy controls was significantly shifted in patients. Particularly, such shifts of GS topography disturbances were more widespread and bilaterally distributed in the midbrain, cerebellum, visual cortex, and medial and orbital cortex in generalized epilepsy, whereas in focal temporal epilepsy, these networks spread beyond the temporal areas but mainly remain lateralized. Moreover, we found that these abnormal GS topography patterns were likely to evolve over the course of a longer epilepsy disease. Our study demonstrates that epileptic processes can potentially affect global excitation/inhibition balance and shift the normal GS topological distribution. These progressive topographical GS disturbances in subcortical–cortical networks may underlie pathophysiological mechanisms of global fluctuations in human epilepsy.
