Key result
Higher global resting-state functional connectivity is linked to greater attention-related P3 amplitudes and shorter latencies.
Why the study?
Neural markers of attention linked to P3 vary widely, and understanding the neural mechanisms contributing to P3 is crucial for understanding attention-related brain disorders.

Global resting-state functional connectivity measured by PCASL correlates with P3 event-related potential parameters, suggesting a link between baseline brain perfusion connectivity and attention mechanisms.
Associations between global rsFC and P3 parameters suggest attention-perfusion links; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter practice.
Neural markers of attention, including those frequently linked to the event-related potential P3 (P300) or P3b component, vary widely within and across participants. Understanding the neural mechanisms of attention that contribute to the P3 is crucial for better understanding attention-related brain disorders. All ten participants were scanned twice with a resting-state PCASL perfusion MRI and an ERP with a visual oddball task to measure brain resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) and P3 parameters (P3 amplitudes and P3 latencies). Global rsFC (average rsFC across the entire brain) was associated with both P3 amplitudes (r = 0.57, p = 0.011) and P3 onset latencies (r = −0.56, p = 0.012). The observed P3 parameters were correlated with predicted P3 amplitude from the global rsFC (amplitude: r = +0.48, p = 0.037; latency: r = +0.40, p = 0.088) but not correlated with the rsFC over the most significant individual edge. P3 onset latency was primarily related to long-range connections between the prefrontal and parietal/limbic regions, while P3 amplitudes were related to connections between prefrontal and parietal/occipital, between sensorimotor and subcortical, and between limbic/subcortical and parietal/occipital regions. These results demonstrated the power of resting-state PCASL and P3 correlation with brain global functional connectivity.

Chen et al. (2023) reported an observational. Resting-state PCASL perfusion MRI was evaluated on Correlation between global resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) and P3 parameters (amplitudes and latencies) (r = 0.57 (amplitude), r = -0.56 (latency), p=0.011 (amplitude), 0.012 (latency)). Global resting-state functional connectivity measured by PCASL MRI was significantly associated with attention-related P3 amplitudes (r=0.57, p=0.011) and P3 onset latencies (r=-0.56, p=0.012).
