Between-group differences in resting-state functional connectivity within the brain's extended triple-network following genuine and sham chiropractic adjustments: a quasi-experimental pilot trial.

Maternal Anxiety and Depression From Pregnancy to Postpartum: Associations With Infants' Cortical Functional Connectivity at 1 Month.

Intervention on modifiable lifestyle and physiological factors via variational autoencoder reveals changes in functional connectivity-mediated risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Brain plasticity in response to artistic and non-artistic training aimed at promoting creativity: How can we enhance creativity and capture the process in neuroscience?

Creativity has been consensually defined as an ability to produce novel and original ideas/works, a definition shared both by the general public and among scholars. Since creativity is one of the most important and unique cognitive construc...

Estimation of Time-Varying Coherence and Its Application in Understanding Brain Functional Connectivity

Time-varying coherence is a powerful tool for revealing functional dynamics between different regions in the brain. In this paper, we address ways of estimating evolutionary spectrum and coherence using the general Cohen's class distrib...

Disrupted Functional Connectivity of Cornu Ammonis Subregions in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Longitudinal Resting-State fMRI Study

Background: The cornu ammonis (CA), as part of the hippocampal formation, represents a primary target region of neural degeneration in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Previous studies have revealed subtle structural deficits of t...

Effects of individualized rTMS on functional connectivity related to the default mode network and frontal-parietal network in major depressive disorder: exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Objective: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to alleviate depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), typically by targeting the dorsolateral (DLPFC) or dorsomedial pref...

Neural substrates of motor and cognitive dysfunctions in SCA2 patients: A network based statistics analysis

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive cerebellar syndrome, which can be isolated or associated with extracerebellar signs. It has been shown that patients affe...

Sex-specific frontal-striatal connectivity differences among adolescents with externalizing disorders

Background: Sex-specific neurobiological underpinnings of impulsivity in youth with externalizing disorders have not been well studied. The only report of functional connectivity (FC) findings in this area demonstrated sex differences in fr...

The Effect of APOE ɛ4 on the Functional Connectivity in Frontoparietal Network in Hypertensive Patients

Allele 4 of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE ε4) and hypertension are considered risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The detection of differences in cognitive function and brain networks between hypertensive patients who are APOE ε4 c...

On the Variability of Functional Connectivity and Network Measures in Source-Reconstructed EEG Time-Series

The idea of estimating the statistical interdependence among (interacting) brain regions has motivated numerous researchers to investigate how the resulting connectivity patterns and networks may organize themselves under any conceivable sc...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

Altered Regional Homogeneity and Functional Connectivity in Patients with Painful Temporomandibular Disorders: A Multimodal Resting-state fMRI Study.

The Dynamic Properties of a Brain Network During Spatial Working Memory Tasks in College Students With ADHD Traits

This study investigated deficits of spatial working memory in college students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits using event-related potentials (ERPs) and the spatial 2-back task. We also computed sensory-level act...

Cognitive Cerebellum Structure and Functional Connectivity in Relation to Executive Functions in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
