“…The results revealed that TOF children with lower ALFF values in the MIOG.L had a lower VIQ, indicating that the MIOG.L plays a critical role in language development. Generally, the MIOG.L is recognized as a visual processing region; however, it is also important to speech perception, including semantic and syntactic processing, language processing strategy, semantic representation, object identification, and generalization (Pigdon et al, 2019;Stroh et al, 2019;Victoria et al, 2019;Fairhall, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Maffei et al, 2020). Different from the traditional understanding of visual regions, some studies have shown that visual processing also promotes early language development (Teinonen et al, 2008).…”

Despite intracardiac malformation correction, children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may still suffer from brain injury. This cross-sectional study was primarily designed to determine the relationship between blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes after surgery and cognition in school-aged children with TOF. To evaluate the differences between TOF children (n = 9) and healthy children (n = 9), resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Chinese revised edition (WISC-CR) were conducted in this study. The results showed that TOF children had a lower full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ, 95.444 ± 5.354, p = 0.022) and verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ, 92.444 ± 4.708, p = 0.003) than healthy children (FSIQ = 118.500 ± 4.330;VIQ = 124.250 ± 4.404), and that significant differences in regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) existed between the two groups. Besides, VIQ had significantly positive correlations with the decreased ALFF value of the middle inferior occipital gyrus (MIOG, beta = 0.908, p = 0.012) after fully adjusting for all covariates. In addition, elevated ReHo values of the left and right precuneus were positively related to ALFF in the MIOG. This study revealed that brain injury substantially influences neural activity and cognition in postoperative TOF children, providing direct evidence of an association between BOLD signal changes and the VIQ and prompting further attention to language development in TOF children.
