Development of the prosencephalic structures, ganglionic eminence, basal ganglia and thalamus at 11  + 3 to 13 + 6 gestational weeks on 3D transvaginal ultrasound including normative data
CONCLUSION: Transvaginal 3D neurosonography allows visualization and measurement of normal structures in the fetal prosencephalon at 11 + 3 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation (GW) including details of ganglionic eminence (GE), basal ganglia (BG), and thalamus/hypothalamus (Th/HyT).

Why do different motor cortical areas activate the same muscles?
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 14. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02703-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cortex contains multiple motor areas, including the primary motor cortex (M1) and supplementary motor area (SMA). Many muscles are represented in both the M1 and SMA, but the reason for this dual representation remains unclear. Previous work has shown that the M1 and SMA representations of a specific human muscle can be differentiated according to their functional connectivity with different brain areas located outside of the motor cortex. It is our perspective that this differential functional connectivity may be the neural...

Comprehensive voxel-wise, tract-based, and network lesion mapping reveals unique architectures of right and left visuospatial neglect
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 11. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02702-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVisuospatial neglect is a common, post-stroke cognitive impairment which is widely considered to be a disconnection syndrome. However, the patterns of disconnectivity associated with visuospatial neglect remain unclear. Here, we had 480 acute stroke survivors [age = 72.8 (SD = 13.3), 44.3% female, 7.5 days post-stroke (SD = 11.3)] undertake routine clinical imaging and standardised visuospatial neglect testing.

Social isolation leads to mild social recognition impairment and losses in brain cellularity
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 10. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02705-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic social stress is a significant risk factor for several neuropsychiatric disorders, mainly major depressive disorder (MDD). In this way, patients with clinical depression may display many symptoms, including disrupted social behavior and anxiety. However, like many other psychiatric diseases, MDD has a very complex etiology and pathophysiology. Because social isolation is one of the multiple depression-inducing factors in humans, this study aims to understand better the link between social stress and MDD using an animal m...

Differentiated somatic gene expression is triggered in the dorsal hippocampus and the anterior retrosplenial cortex by hippocampal synaptic plasticity prompted by spatial content learning
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 10. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02694-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHippocampal afferent inputs, terminating on proximal and distal subfields of the cornus ammonis (CA), enable the functional discrimination of 'what' (item identity) and 'where' (spatial location) elements of a spatial representation. This kind of information is supported by structures such as the retrosplenial cortex (RSC). Spatial content learning promotes the expression of hippocampal synaptic plasticity, particularly long-term depression (LTD). In the CA1 region, this is specifically facilitated by the learning of item-place ...

Morphological changes in motoneurons of the oculomotor nucleus of mice after a 30-day space flight and through a 7-day period of readaptation to earth gravity
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 9. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02704-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cellular mechanisms of neuroplastic changes in the structure of motoneurons and neuropils of the oculomotor (III) nuclei in mice after a 30-day space flight and 7 days after landing were studied. The results showed that microgravity caused degenerative phenomena in neurons: a decrease in the number of terminal dendritic branches was found both after flight and after readaptation to Earth's gravity. In mice after the flight, the number of axodendritic synapses was less than in the control, and their number was not restored aft...

Intrinsic neural network dynamics underlying the ability to down-regulate emotions in male perpetrators of intimate partner violence against women
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 9. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02696-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch has pointed to difficulties in emotion regulation as a risk factor for perpetrating intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). While efforts have been made to understand the brain mechanisms underlying emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal, little is known about the intrinsic neural dynamics supporting this strategy in male perpetrators. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to characterise the network dynamics underlying reappraisal. Spectral dynamic causal modelling was performe...

Axo-glial interactions between midbrain dopamine neurons and oligodendrocyte lineage cells in the anterior corpus callosum
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Sep 5. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02695-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) receive synaptic innervation from glutamatergic and GABAergic axons and can be dynamically regulated by neural activity, resulting in activity-dependent changes in patterns of axon myelination. However, it remains unclear to what extent other types of neurons may innervate OPCs. Here, we provide evidence implicating midbrain dopamine neurons in the innervation of oligodendrocyte lineage cells in the anterior corpus callosum and nearby white matter tracts of male and female adult mice. Dopam...
