Article Synopsis
- This study explores how deafness affects brain development, specifically focusing on attentional functions and brain network connectivity in prelingual profoundly deaf individuals compared to healthy controls.
- Researchers analyzed resting-state EEG and event-related potentials from Attention Network Tests with a total of 70 participants, finding notable differences in brain connectivity and attentional responses between the two groups.
- Results indicated that deaf individuals demonstrated weaker frontal-occipital connections, longer reaction times, and a distinct alerting response, while their orienting functions were similar to those of hearing individuals.
Neuroscientists have emphasized visceral influences on consciousness and attention, but the potential neurophysiological pathways remain under exploration. Here, we found two neurophysiological pathways of heart-brain interaction based on the relationship between oxygen-transport by red blood cells (RBCs) and consciousness/attention. To this end, we collected a dataset based on the routine physical examination, the breaking continuous flash suppression (b-CFS) paradigm, and an attention network test (ANT) in 140 immigrants under the hypoxic Tibetan environment.

In the present study, we recruited a total of 60 subjects who had been migrated to Tibet University as adults for more than one year. These participants were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.
