Sluggish
cognitive tempo symptoms were associated with lower connectivity between the
attention seed and medial visual areas. This preliminary study is one of the
first to indicate that SCT symptoms may be associated with specific connectivity patterns independent of ADHD symptom severity.
Figure
3: Child-rated SCT symptoms
(controlling for age, sex, and parent-rated ADHD inattention symptoms) shows
decreased functional connectivity between the attention seed region and the: left
cuneus cortex, left isthmus – cingulate cortex, left lingual gyrus, left
pericalcarine cortex, left precuneus cortex, right cuneus cortex, right isthmus
– cingulate cortex, right lingual gyrus, right parahippocampal gyrus, right
pericalcarine cortex, right precuneus cortex.
Figure
2: Teacher-rated SCT
(controlling for age, sex, and teacher-rated ADHD inattention symptoms) shows
increased functional connectivity between the attention seed region and the: right
cuneus cortex, right lateral occipital cortex, fight pericalcarine cortex, right
superior parietal cortex, and decreased functional connectivity between the: left cuneus cortex, left isthmus –
cingulate cortex, left lingual gyrus, left pericalcarine cortex, Left precuneus
cortex.
