The claim means that some earlier developmental findings may have been overstated because of motion. If it holds, studies of brain development need careful motion correction to avoid exaggerating age effects.","findings":["With motion more fully accounted for, the prevalence of age-related change and the strength of distance-related effects are substantially reduced, though age-related changes remain highly significant.","Motion artefact tends to obscure age-related increases in connectivity within functional modules, which improved preprocessing makes easier to detect.","Age can still be accurately estimated from the multivariate pattern of connectivity while controlling for motion."],"terms":[{"term":"motion artifact","means":"A distortion in brain-scan data caused by the person's head moving during scanning, rather than by brain activity."},{"term":"functional connectivity","means":"The degree to which activity in different brain regions rises and falls together over time."},{"term":"distance-related changes in connectivity","means":"Differences in how connection strength changes with age depending on how far apart the connected brain regions are."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"europepmc","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-25T15:16:02.401Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-25T15:16:02.401Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
