Functional connectivity of dorsal attention network

1. Baduanjin decreases functional connectivity of dorsal attention network in humans.

   “Dorsal attention network (DAN) of Baduanjin exercise group exhibited functional connectivity decreased in right rolandic operculum (ROL. R), right middle temporal gyrus (MTG. R)”
