Effect of Preadolescents' Obesity on Inhibitory Control During Stop-Signal Task: A Functional EEG Network Study.

ABSTRACT: Objectives. Until now, limited knowledge remains regarding the association among childhood obesity, cognitive behavior, and brain networks. Utilizing a publicly available dataset, we aimed to investigate the relationships between childhood obesity and functional networks during the stop-signal task. Results. Given the huge conflict-monitoring and inhibitory control demands of the task, both enhanced network connectivity and properties were observed under the "No-go" compared to the "Go" condition for both obese and non-obese preadolescents. Obese preadolescents exhibited significantly increased frontal-parietal, frontal-occipital, and frontal-temporal linkages, as well as heightened network efficiency under both "Go" and "No-go" conditions compared to non-obese counterparts.
