Few studies have been previously published about the resting state brain activity in young chronic smokers, although many previous fMRI studies have shown that the task-related activity pattern is altered in chronic smokers.
fMRI results were consistent with our previous studies of brain activity in response to nociceptive stimulation.
We found group differences between low and high ability children in brain activity in several areas, including those implicated by previous research, but not in the hIPS.
Next, we wanted to test whether the experimental paradigm used in the current study reliably reproduced patterns of brain activity reported in previous studies.

Previous studies on spontaneous brain activity in ASD used volume-based ReHo (3dReHo), ignoring the two-dimensional nature of the laminar cerebral cortex [ 2, 14].
Before making decisions about which way to turn, for example, rats pause to retrace their steps by reactivating patterns of brain activity established in previous explorations.
This claim is reinforced by previous evidence showing increased oscillatory brain activity in the sensorimotor mu rhythm and its alpha-band component, associated with effective social coordination11, 12, 41.
Importantly, no previous studies have assessed whether memory-related brain activity in response to crime reminders can be voluntarily and specifically controlled.
The researchers did not specifically measure brain activity in one region versus another for this study, but Benedict explained the findings are interesting because previous research has shown the executive function portion of the test involves the frontal lobe of the brain, and that type of brain activity is the type that is known to decrease with age.
