ALFF results. In the DMN area, ALFF was significantly lower during swallowing tasks than during non-swallowing tasks. In contrast, ALFF in the medial thalamus, right anteromesial temporal lobe, and left inferior semilunar lobule of the cerebellum were significantly higher. Statistical significance was set at FDR-corrected p < 0.05. ALFF, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations; DMN, default mode network; FDR, false discovery rate.
