We used neuroimaging meta-analytic techniques in order to analyze the correlation between FGIDs and aberrant brain activity. A systematic review was performed to ascertain resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) studies examining brain function in FGIDs. Pooled meta-analyses by seed-based d mapping with permutation of subject images (SDM-PSI) were performed to assess variations in regional brain activity, and sensitivity analyses were applied to evaluate the robustness of findings. Meta-regression analyses were then carried out to examine possible links between demographic factors and neuroimaging changes. Our meta-analysis revealed significant changes in regional brain activities among FGIDs patients compared to healthy controls (HC). Increased brain activation was observed in several regions including the postcentral gyrus, calcarine fissure\/surrounding cortex, superior frontal gyrus, and insula, while decreased activity was noted in the left posterior cingulate gyrus, right median cingulate\/paracingulate gyri, and the left caudate nucleus. Furthermore, meta-regression analyses indicated negative associations between disease duration and alterations in specific brain regions. These findings underscored the intricate interplay between gut dysfunction and aberrant brain activity in FGIDs. Early intervention and multidisciplinary approaches addressing both gastrointestinal symptoms and associated emotional distress are crucial for improving the quality of life of the patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2024.1452216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,15]],"date-time":"2024-11-15T06:17:54Z","timestamp":1731651474000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Aberrant intrinsic brain activities in functional gastrointestinal disorders revealed by seed-based d mapping with permutation of subject images"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yibin","family":"Shuai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benhong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaomei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongxia","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shengbo","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"565","DOI":"10.1038\/nrgastro.2014.89","article-title":"Functional brain imaging in gastroenterology: to new beginnings","volume":"11","author":"Al Omran","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nat.
