Author(s): Charles O. Nyatega*, Li Qiang, Mohammed A. Jajere and Halima Bello Kawuwa
Objective: Previous neuroimaging works have been used to research abnormal functional connectivity in patients with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Although most of these studies relied on static functional connectivity, we instead attempt to explore dynamic functional connectivity changes associated with the limbic network connectivity in ADHD. Methods: We applied sliding window approach to the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 25 children with ADHD and 23 Typically- Developing Controls (TD) to generate temporal correlations maps, then we evaluated the average and variability of the limbic structures to the whole brain network functional connectivity in each window. Results: In ADHD compared to TD during eight minutes and twenty two seconds of scanning time, dynamic resti.. Read More»
