Task-induced deactivation (TID) is recently a focus of fMRI research. It typically demonstrates maps of the default mode network, showing relevance to cognitive impairments. We investigated the changes of the TID in the medial structures using visual, visuomotor and counting tasks and the combination of the tasks. Demands for cognitive processing affected the medial prefrontal cortex, whereas task types modulated the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the precuneus. Hand action reduced the TID of the area adjacent to the parieto-occipital sulcus, which included the region frequently used as a seed in functional connectivity analyses of resting-state fMRI.
