Chunk #40 — Understanding the Typical Network Developmental Pattern of Segregation and Integration Will Aid in Our Understanding of Disordered Development
an rs-fcMRI connection that decrease with age. This atypical default mode network functional connectivity in ADHD is consistent with the hypothesis that inattention and impulsivity are consequences of intrusions of the default mode network during intended maintenance of the task state (Castellanos et al. 2008). However, while disorders as different as autism and ADHD may both display “immaturity” of the default network, they likely arise from disparate pathophysiological mechanisms, and subsequent studies should investigate the possible causes of “immaturity” in these systems.
