Replicability has become an increasing focus within the scientific communities with the ongoing "replication crisis". One area that appears to struggle with unreliable results is resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Therefore, the current study aimed to improve the knowledge of endogenous factors that contribute to inter-individual variability. Arterial blood pressure, body mass, hematocrit, and glycated hemoglobin were investigated as potential sources of between-subject variability in rs-fMRI, in healthy individuals. Whether changes in resting state-networks (rs-networks) could be attributed to variability in the BOLD-signal, changes in neuronal activity, or both, was of special interest. Within-subject parameters were estimated utilizing Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) as it allows to make inferences on the estimated hemodynamic (BOLD-signal dynamics) and neuronal parameters (effective connectivity) separately. The results of the analyses imply that blood pressure and body mass can cause between-subject and between-group variability in the BOLD-signal and that all the included factors can affect the underlying connectivity. Given the results of the current and previous studies, rs-fMRI results appear to be susceptible to a range of factors, which is likely to contribute to the low degree of replicability of these studies. Interestingly, the highest degree of variability seems to appear within the much-studied Default Mode Network and its connections to other networks.
