Differences in Head Motion During Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Across Pediatric Neuropsychiatric Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robust correction for head motion during functional magnetic resonance imaging is critical to avoid artifact-driven findings. Despite head motion differences across neuropsychiatric disorders, pediatric head motion across a range of diagnoses and covariates has not yet been evaluated. We tested 4 preregistered hypotheses: 1) externalizing disorder diagnoses will associate with more head motion during scanning; 2) internalizing disorder diagnoses will associate with less motion; 3) among children without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, externalizing disorders will associate with more motion; and 4) among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, comorbid internalizing disorders will associate with less motion.
