Caption: Figure 3: Regression of group asymmetry indices for MCI nonconverters and converters in five selected ROIs, including the banks of the superior temporal sulcus (cyan), caudal middle frontal gyrus (red),
inferior parietal lobule (blue), pars triangularis (green), entorhinal cortex (yellow), and parahippocampal gyrus (pink).
As previously observed in TD children [5], also UCP children showed activation of areas belonging to the action observation network such as the inferior temporal gyrus (BA37), superior temporal sulcus (BA 22), anterior intraparietal sulcus (BA40-7),
inferior parietal lobule (BA40), superior parietal lobule (BA7), precentral gyrus (dorsolateral, BA6-9 and BA6-4), and inferior frontal gyrus (BA45-47).
Component 11 showed differences in the middle temporal gyrus, lingual gyrus, subgyral regions, cuneus, superior temporal gyrus, precuneus, superior parietal lobule,
inferior parietal lobule, and middle occipital gyrus.
showed that patients with PD, when compared to normal subjects, had increased connectivity between the presupplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and the right primary motor cortex (M1) and decreased connectivity between the pre-SMA and the left putamen, right insula, right premotor cortex, and left
inferior parietal lobule (IPL).
The MPFC and posterior cingulate are both part of the default network which includes the medial prefrontal cortex, the posterior cingulate, the
inferior parietal lobule, the lateral temporal cortex, and the hippocampus.
Compared with the nonaerobic group, fMRI testing showed that subjects in the cardiovascular training group had significantly greater activity in the medial frontal gyrus, the superior frontal gyrus, and the
inferior parietal lobule, and significantly lower activity in the anterior cingulate cortex.
Compared to older adults, young adults showed decreased recruitment of the left
inferior parietal lobule after training compared to before physical training (Figure 3).
Besides, the hypo-metabolic regions were also found in the right
inferior parietal lobule and hippocampus in the small-cell carcinoma group.
In ESs, the between-groups comparison for object working memory versus baseline revealed left sided activations in the middle frontal gyrus (BA8 28 2 48),
inferior parietal lobule (BA40 -44 -30 -52), temporal pole (BA38 -40 16 -5), and right-sided activations in superior frontal gyrus (BA8 -42 14 44) and premotor cortex (BA6 14 4 60).
