摘要: Recent resting-state fMRI studies have revealed neuroplastic alterations after long-term training. However, the changes that occur in professional traditional Chinese Pingju opera actors remain unclear. Twenty and 20 age-, sex-, handedness-matched laymen were recruited. Resting-state was obtained by using an echo-planar imaging sequence, two metrics, amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) regional homogeneity (ReHo), utilized to assess spontaneous neural activity during resting state. Our results demonstrated compared with laymen, exhibited significantly decreased ALFF bilateral calcarine gyrus cuneus; ReHo superior occipital gyri, cuneus, right middle gyrus; increased left anterior insula. In addition, no significant association found between training duration. Overall, observed brain may indicate their performance multidimensional skills, such as music face perception, dancing, emotional representation.
