Resting-State Functional Connectivity Change in Frontoparietal and Default Mode Networks After Acute Exercise in Youth

Brain plasticity May 1, 2024 Trevor L. Cline, Francesca Morfini, E. Tinney et al.

BACKGROUND: A single bout of aerobic exercise can provide acute benefits to cognition and emotion in children. Yet, little is known about how acute exercise may impact children’s underlying brain networks’ resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC). OBJECTIVE: Using a data-driven multivariate pattern analysis, we investigated the effects of a single dose of exercise on acute rsFC changes in...

Mindfulness-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback: a randomized controlled trial to optimize dosing for depressed adolescents.

BMC Psychiatry October 17, 2023 Paul A Bloom, David Pagliaccio, Jiahe Zhang et al. 17 citations

Adolescence is characterized by a heightened vulnerability for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) onset, and currently, treatments are only effective for roughly half of adolescents with MDD. Accordingly, novel interventions are urgently needed. This study aims to establish mindfulness-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback (mbNF) as a non-invasive approach to downregulate the default mode network...
