Abstract

Human cerebral development is remarkably protracted. Although microstructural processes of neuronal maturation remain accessible only to morphometric post-mortem studies, neuroimaging tools permit the examination of macrostructural aspects of brain development. The analysis of resting-state functional connectivity (FC) offers novel possibilities for the investigation of cerebral development. Using seed-based FC methods, we examined the development of 5 functionally distinct cingulate-based intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) in children (n = 14, 10.6 +/- 1.5 years), adolescents (n = 12, 15.4 +/- 1.2) and young adults (n=14, 22.4 +/- 1.2). Children demonstrated a more diffuse pattern of correlation with voxels proximal to the seed region of interest (ROI) ("local FC"), whereas adults exhibited more focal patterns of FC, as well as a greater number of significantly correlated voxels at long distances from the seed ROI. Adolescents exhibited intermediate patterns of FC. Consistent with evidence for different maturational time courses, ICNs associated with social and emotional functions exhibited the greatest developmental effects. Our findings demonstrate the utility of FC for the study of developing functional organization. Moreover, given that ICNs are thought to have an anatomical basis in neuronal connectivity, measures of FC may provide a quantitative index of brain maturation in healthy subjects and those with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Prior to 2012, multiple studies found that functional connectivity between anatomically proximate ROIs gradually decreased, while long-range functional connections, especially anterior-posterior links, gradually increased until adulthood.

    “Prior to 2012, multiple studies had found that functional connectivity between anatomically proximate ROIs gradually decreased, whereas long-range functional connections, especially anterior-posterior links, gradually increased until adulthood (Dosenbach et al., 2010; Fair et al., 2009; Kelly et al., 2009; Supekar et al., 2009).”
  • The greatest development in cingulate-based ICNs occurs in those associated with social and emotional functions.

    “Also, the greatest development occurred in those ICNs associated with social and emotional functions.”

  • The pattern of correlation with voxels proximal to the seed region of interest in cingulate-based ICNs is age-dependent: diffuse in children, less diffuse in adolescents, and becoming focal in young adults.

    “They found that the pattern of correlation with voxels proximal to the seed region of interest was age-dependent: the pattern was diffuse in children (mean age 10.6 years), was less diffuse in adolescents (mean age 15.4 years), and showed signs of becoming focal in young adults (mean age 22.4 years).”

  • Brain maturation extends beyond adolescence into young adulthood.

    “Kelly and colleagues provide additional evidence that brain maturation extends beyond adolescence into young adulthood (35).”

    From Emerging Adulthood, a Pre-adult Life-History Stage (2020) · cites this paper as [35]

  • Diffuse patterns of local FC are gradually replaced by a distributed architecture, dominated by focal long-range connections.

    “diffuse patterns of local FC are gradually replaced by a distributed architecture, dominated by focal long-range connections (3-6).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
