Sha Xie, Shuqi Lu, Jiahao Lu, Chaohui Gong, Chunqi Chan. Using mindfulness-based intervention to promote executive function in young children: a multivariable and multiscale sample entropy study. Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991). vol 34. issue 9. 2024-09-05. PMID:39235378. the results showed that: (1) brain complexity was reduced in the intervention group after receiving the mindfulness-based intervention in all three executive function tasks (ps < 0.05), indicating a more efficient neural processing mechanism after the intervention; (2) difference comparisons between the intervention and control groups showed significant differences in relevant brain regions during cognitive shifting (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex) and working memory tasks (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), which corroborates with improved behavioral results in the intervention group (z = -3.674, p < 0.001 for cognitive shifting; z = 2.594, p < 0.01 for working memory). 2024-09-05 2024-09-08 Not clear
