Occupation-modulated language networks and its lateralization: A resting-state fMRI study of seafarers
INTRODUCTION: Studies have revealed that the language network of Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area is modulated by factors such as disease, gender, aging, and handedness. However, how occupational factors modulate the language network remains unclear. METHODS: In this study, taking professional seafa...

description | INTRODUCTION: Studies have revealed that the language network of Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area is modulated by factors such as disease, gender, aging, and handedness. However, how occupational factors modulate the language network remains unclear. METHODS: In this study, taking professional seafarers as an example, we explored the resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of the language network with seeds (the original and flipped Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area). RESULTS: The results showed seafarers had weakened RSFC of Broca’s area with the left superior/middle frontal gyrus and left precentral gyrus, and enhanced RSFC of Wernicke’s area with the cingulate and precuneus. Further, seafarers had a less right-lateralized RSFC with Broca’s area in the left inferior frontal gyrus, while the controls showed a left-lateralized RSFC pattern in Broca’s area and a right-lateralized one in Wernicke’s area. Moreover, seafarers displayed stronger RSFC with the left seeds of Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that years of working experience significantly modulates the RSFC of language networks and their lateralization, providing rich insights into language networks and occupational neuroplasticity. |
