Περίληψη: Aim: Media use in children has exploded in the past several decades, most recently fuelled by portable electronic devices. This study aims to explore differences in functional brain connectivity in children during a story‐listening functional MRI (fMRI) task using data collected before (1998) and after (2013) the widespread adoption of media. Methods: Cross‐sectional data were collected from English‐speaking 5‐ to 7‐year‐old children at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, USA, of a functional MRI narrative comprehension task completed in 1998 (n = 22) or 2013 (n = 25). Imaging data were processed using a graph theory approach, focusing on executive functions, language and visual processing networks supporting reading. Results: Group differences suggest more efficient processing in the fronto‐parietal network in the pre‐media group while listening to stories. A modulation of the visual and fronto‐parietal networks for the post‐media exposure group was found. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to assess effects over time in the more exposed group to discern a causal effect of portable devices on cognitive networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
