We examined regional cerebral blood flow response in a patient with gray matter heterotopia located beneath the sensorimotor cortex during a finger tapping task. We found regional cerebral blood flow was specifically increased during contralateral finger tapping. This indicated the possibility of functional differentiation of the ectopic neurons despite incomplete migration.
