Flight training and the anterior cingulate cortex
Abstrak
Abstract Pilots are considered the final line of defense for aviation safety. Before becoming a pilot, an ab initio pilot must undergo systematic flight training. This study included 25 male flying cadets. Kendall’s coefficient of concordance was used to measure the regional homogeneity of the time series of a given voxel with its 26 nearest neighboring voxels. This operation was performed for all voxels to generate a regional homogeneity map for each participant based on Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. A partial correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between regional homogeneity maps and flight training hours. We found that the anterior cingulate cortex in the ab initio group was significantly positively correlated with flight hours. These results suggest a potential relationship between flight training experience and the functional properties of the anterior cingulate cortex.
