Thalamocortical functional connectivity in youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have empirically tested the relationships between anatomically defined thalamic nuclei and functionally defined cortical networks, and little is known about their implications in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to investigate the functional connectivity of the thalamus in youth with ADHD, using both anatomically and functionally defined thalamic seed regions.

Methods

Resting-state functional MRIs obtained from the publicly available ADHD-200 database were analyzed. Thalamic seed regions were defined functionally and anatomically based on Yeo's 7 resting-state-network parcellation atlas and the AAL3 atlas, respectively. Functional connectivity maps of the thalamus were extracted, and thalamocortical functional connectiv
