The present fMRI study examined the developmental effect
of prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) on default mode
network (DMN) deactivations in longitudinally followed
adolescents. Comparing age 17 to 15 while performing the
same memory task, DMN deactivation was reduced in the
control group but increased in the adolescents with PCE.
The present results provide direct evidence supporting
the view of a long-term effect of PCE on arousal
regulation.
