Summary

Deafness impacts attention, particularly alerting and executive control, due to weakened frontal-occipital brain connections. These brain network differences offer potential biomarkers for predicting attention deficits in deaf individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Early sensory loss, such as deafness, significantly influences brain development and attentional functions.
  • The underlying brain mechanisms of altered attention in prelingual deaf individuals remain largely unexplored.
  • Understanding brain network connectivity is crucial for elucidating these attentional changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between differential attention and resting-state brain network connectivity in deaf individuals.
  • To explore how brain network properties correlate with attentional performance using electroencephalography (EEG) and the Attention Network Test (ANT).
  • To identify potential physiological biomarkers for attention prediction in the deaf population.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 36 deaf individuals and 34 healthy controls (HC).
  • Recorded resting-state EEG and ANT-evoked related potentials (ERPs).
  • Analyzed brain network connectivity using coherence (COH) and graph theory, correlating network properties with ERPs.

Main Results:

  • A significant correlation was found between frontal-occipital resting-state connectivity and the amplitude of the alert N1 component in the alpha band.
  • Deaf individuals showed weaker frontal-occipital connections, longer reaction times, and larger P3 amplitudes in executive control tasks compared to HC.
  • Alerting functions were significantly affected, while orienting functions did not differ between groups.

Conclusions:

  • Deafness affects alerting and executive control functions, but not orienting functions, compared to hearing individuals.
  • Weakened frontal-occipital brain connections are a primary cause of altered alerting functions in deaf individuals.
  • Resting-state EEG network properties can predict attentional performance, offering potential biomarkers for attention prediction.
