Association Between Altered White Matter Networks and Post Operative Ventricle Volume in Shunt-Treated Pediatric Hydrocephalus
CONCLUSIONS: This cross-sectional study in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus and healthy controls demonstrated using whole-brain probabilistic tractography that there are various networks with dysregulated white matter integrity in hydrocephalus patients relative to controls. These dysregulated networks have tracts connecting structures throughout the brain, and the regions were predominately located centrally and posteriorly. Post-operative ventricle volume did not predict the white matter integrity of many tracts. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further understand these results.PMID:38103800 | D...

Longitudinal Trajectory of Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation Changes in Breast Cancer Patients During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy-A Preliminary Prospective Study
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Dec 13:110845. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110845. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is growing evidence that the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) changes in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy. However, longitudinal changes in ALFF during chemotherapy are unclear. To assess the trajectory of ALFF changes during chemotherapy, 36 breast cancer patients underwent both resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological testing at three time points, including before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) (time point 0, TP0), after one cycle of NAC (before the secon...

Analgesic effect of linalool odor on oral ulcerative mucositis-induced pain in rats
In this study, we examined the mechanism underlying the analgesic effect of linalool odor on oral pain caused by OUM using nocifensive behavioral and immunohistochemical analyses in rats. OUM was developed by treating the labial fornix region of the inferior incisors with acetic acid. Linalool at 1% was exposed for 5 min at 30 min before nocifensive behavioral measurements. OUM induced spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia, which were suppressed by the linalool odor. Mechanical allodynia in the hind paw following the injection of complete Freund's adjuvant was also suppressed by linalool odor. Application of lidocaine ...

Diosmin ameliorates LPS-induced depression-like behaviors in mice: inhibition of inflammation and oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Dec 11:110843. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110843. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiosmin is a flavone glycoside with a confirmed therapeutic effectiveness on the chronic venous disorders. In this paper, the classical mouse depression model induced by LPS was established to explore the effect of Diosmin on depression. Firstly, we found that Diosmin could inhibit the inflammation and neuronal damage in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of mice, and thus alleviating the LPS-induced depressive-like behaviors. Specifically, Diosmin treatment significantly suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokine...

Altered intrinsic brain activity in patients with neuropathic pain after brachial plexus avulsion
CONCLUSIONS: The NP after BPA caused spontaneous activity changes in brain regions associated with linguistic, visual, somatosensory, and motor coordination and processing function. The majority of these abnormal areas were situated in the left cerebral hemisphere, while the effect of cingulate gyri and cerebellum seemed to be bilateral.PMID:38056510 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110831 (Source: Brain Research Bulletin)

MST-Net: A Multi-scale Swin Transformer Network for EEG-based Cognitive Load Assessment
In this study, a multi-scale Swin Transformer network (MST-Net) was proposed for cognitive load assessment, which extracts local features with different sensory fields using a multi-scale parallel convolution model and introduces the attention mechanism of the Swin Transformer to obtain the feature correlations among multi-scale local features. The performance of the proposed network was validated using the EEG signals collected during cognitive tasks and N-back tasks with three different load levels. Results show that the MST-Net network achieved the best classification accuracy on both local and public datasets, and was ...

Dysregulated neural activity between the thalamus and cerebral cortex mediates cortical reorganization in cervical spondylotic myelopathy
This study aimed to investigate whether spinal cord compression leads to alterations in the functional connectivity between the thalamus and the cerebral cortex, and to determine if such changes are associated with structural and functional remodeling of the brain in patients with CSM, and to identify potential neuroimaging biomarkers for classification. The study included 40 patients with CSM and 34 healthy controls(HCs) who underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) and structural MRI scans. Brain structural and functional metrics were quantified using functional connectivity(FC), fractional ampl...
