Functional brain hubs are related to age: A primer study with rs-fMRI
No significant correlations were found with IQ, but it was found that the fALFF values of the left precentral cortex (premotor cortex and supplementary motor area), as well as the ReHo values of the medial frontal gyrus, and the precentral cortex of the left hemisphere, correlate with age. Conclusions: Hubs related to various "task positive" networks closely related to cognitive functioning would present a development more related to age and relatively independent of individual differences in intelligence. These findings suggest that the premotor cortex and supplementary motor cortex could be a cortical hub that develops earlier than previously reported and that it would be more related to age than to intelligence level.
