Functional connectivity of sensorimotor network is enhanced in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: A multimodal study using fMRI and MEG
CONCLUSIONS: CP is associated with enhanced FC in sensorimotor network. This difference is not correlated with hand coordination performance. The effect of the lesion is likely not fully captured by temporal correlation of ROI signals.SIGNIFICANCE: Brain lesions can show as increased temporal correlation of activity between remote brain areas. We suggest this effect is likely separate from typical physiological correlates of functional connectivity.PMID:38006621 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.10.014 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Phonological ability and neural congruency: Phonological loop or more?
CONCLUSIONS: Neural congruency components capture the underlying neural mechanisms that drive the relationship between phonological deficits and dyslexia and provide insights into the phonological loop and visual-sketchpad dimensions in Baddeley's model at the neural level. They also confirm the unitary structure of phonological awareness with EEG data.SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings provide novel insights into the neural origins of the phonological processing differences in children with dyslexia, the unitary structure of phonological awareness, and further verify Baddeley's model as a theoretical framework for phonological pr...

Artificial intelligence-based classification of motor unit action potentials in real-world needle EMG recordings
CONCLUSIONS: We developed a two-step ANN that classifies rest, muscle contraction and artifacts from real-world n-EMG recordings with very high accuracy. MUAP duration classification had moderate accuracy.SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first study to show that an ANN can classify MUAPs in real-world n-EMG recordings highlighting the potential for AI assisted MUAP classification as a clinical tool.PMID:37976609 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.10.008 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)

Infra-slow fluctuations in cortical potentials and respiration drive fast cortical EEG rhythms in sleeping and waking states
CONCLUSIONS: ISFs in slow cortical potentials and respiration together significantly determine the dynamics of fast cortical oscillations.SIGNIFICANCE: We propose that these slow physiological phases play a significant role in coordinating cortical excitability, which is a fundamental aspect of brain function.PMID:37972532 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.10.013 (Source: Clinical Neurophysiology)
