Abstract

We examined changes in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) relevant to emotion regulation and stress coping in 34 adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and 28 controls. Participants underwent a RSFC scan before and after a stress paradigm. NSSI-Adolescents displayed RSFC changes in regions of sensorimotor alertness, attention, and effortful emotion regulation.
