Disrupted default mode network and executive control network are associated with depression severity on structural network
Conclusions Patients with smaller GMV of ACC.L are more likely to develop severe MDD, and as a key region in both networks which have distinct structural network models in DMN and ECN. MDD patients with different severity have different neuroimaging changes in DMN and ECN. (Source: NeuroReport)

The effect of the degree and location of danger in traffic hazard perception: an ERP study
Conclusions The results suggest that hazards are more easily processed in the central visual area during the early stage of automatic perception. In the later hazard evaluation stage, the hazard in the central visual area and the high-hazard situation were more easily processed. (Source: NeuroReport)

Effects of Tai Chi Chuan on cortical sources of EEG rhythms in the resting state in elderly individuals: a cross-sectional study
A standard low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) technique was used to observe the effect of long-term Tai Chi Chuan practice on the resting state of the brains of elderly individuals. Eyes-closed resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) signals were collected from 14 long-term Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) elderly practitioners, 14 demographically matched healthy controls (HCs) and 14 healthy young adults (HYs). The EEG rhythms of delta, theta, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1 and beta 2 were analyzed. The cortical sources of these EEG rhythms were estimated by sLORETA. The data showed that the theta and alpha 1 brain sourc...

Recombinant human erythropoietin protects long-term cultured ageing primary nerve cells by upregulating the PI3K/Akt pathway
Conclusions This study explored the relationship between the rhEPO and PI3K/Akt pathways in the protection of ageing nerve cells at the cellular level and found that rhEPO protects long-term cultured ageing primary nerve cells by upregulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. These findings provide a theoretical basis and experimental evidence for the antiaeging mechanism of EPO in the nervous system. (Source: NeuroReport)

FG7142 combined with restraint stress induces anxiogenic-like effects via downregulation gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptors expression in the hippocampus
Conclusions These results indicated that FG7142 combined with restraint stress is sufficient to induce anxiety, and its mechanism is associated with downregulation of hippocampal gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptors. (Source: NeuroReport)

The brain state of motor imagery is reflected in the causal information of functional near-infrared spectroscopy
Background Brain–computer interface (BCI) is a promising neurorehabilitation strategy for ameliorating post-stroke function disorders. Physiological changes in the brain, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) dedicated to exploring cerebral circulatory responses during neurological rehabilitation tasks, are essential for gaining insights into neurorehabilitation mechanisms. However, the relationship between the neurovascular responses in different brain regions under rehabilitation tasks remains unknown. Objective The present study explores the fNIRS interactions between brain regions under dif...

The distinct roles of various neurotransmitters in modulating methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference in relevant brain regions in mice
Conclusions These results suggested that the neurotransmitters of DA, Glu and Gln may work together and play important roles in METH-induced CPP in relevant brain reward circuits, especially in PFc and NAc. These findings therefore could help to advance the comprehensive understanding of the neurochemic and psychopharmacologic properties of METH in reward effect, which is important for future improvements in the treatment of drug addiction.
