Abstract
Bronchial asthma often causes cognitive impairment, especially attentional deficit, which has a serious impact on children's learning. This study aims to provide objective indicators for the evaluation of attention in asthma children. Thirty-one asthmatic and typically developing children (TDC) were tested by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Brain network-based methods of degree centricity and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) methods were used in the study. Compared with the TDC group, asthmatic children had lower DC values in the right superior frontal gyrus (after FDR correction, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, VMHC values of bilateral superior frontal gyrus and bilateral superior parietal lobule in asthmatic children were lower than those in TDC group (after FDR correction, P < 0.05). There was significant correlation between the correct percentage of CPT and DC value in right superior frontal gyrus, VMHC value in right superior frontal gyrus, and right superior parietal lobule. In this study, impaired superior frontal gyrus and parietal lobe function are associated with attentional deficit in asthmatic children, and these brain regions are key brain regions in attention-related networks.Keywords
