Triple network dynamics and future alcohol consumption in adolescents
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Background: The human brain is a highly interconnected and dynamic system. The study of neuroimaging indicators of future teen drinking has primarily focused on the activation of individual brain regions. We applied novel methodology to identify relationships between functional brain network dynamics and future drinking outcomes in non/low drinking teens. Methods: Resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series from 17‐year‐old non‐/low drinking participants ( n = 295) of the National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) study were used to fit a Hidden semi‐Markov Model (HSMM). Regions of the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and central executive network (CEN), collectively known as the Triple Network, were included in modeling. The HSMM identified each participant's most likely brain state sequence through five brain states. Poisson regression models assessed relationships between occupancy time in brain states and future drinking frequency/intensity. Sex differences were assessed with permutation testing and interaction terms in regression models. Results: No sex differences in network dynamics were observed. However, the relationship between occupancy times and future drinking frequency differed by sex for three brain states. Occupancy time in a state characterized by high activation in the DMN and SN, but low activation in the CEN, was negatively associated with future drinking in both sexes. Conclusions: Brain network dynamics may be useful neural markers of teen drinking predisposition. Brain dynamics that make teens vulnerable or resilient to drinking may differ between sexes.

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.
