Background Recent studies suggest that internet addiction disorder (IAD) is associated with structural abnormalities in brain gray matter. However, few have investigated the effects of on microstructural integrity major neuronal fiber pathways, and almost no assessed changes duration addiction. Methodology/Principal Findings We morphology adolescents IAD (N = 18) using an optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM) technique, studied white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) diffusion tensor...
Converging evidence has identified cognitive control deficits in internet gaming disorder (IGD). Recently, mounting had revealed that resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) and structural of frontostriatal circuits could modulate healthy individuals. Unfortunately, relatively little is known about the thoroughly circuit-level characterization pathways (both dorsal ventral striatum) during resting-state their association with IGD. In current study, differences striatum volume RSFC...
Background Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study revealed reduced fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the corpus callosum (CC) migraine patients without aura. Abnormalities white matter integrity, particularly CC, may affect inter-hemispheric resting state functional connectivity (RSFC). Unfortunately, relatively little is known about alterations interactions between cerebral hemispheres during aura, and even less how RSFC are affected by abnormalities of CC. Methods findings Twenty-one aura...
Background Little is known about the changes of brain structural and functional connectivity networks underlying pathophysiology in migraine. We aimed to investigate how cortical network reorganization altered by frequent overstimulation associated with Methodology/Principal Findings Gray matter volumes resting-state magnetic resonance imaging signal correlations were employed construct between regions 43 female patients migraine (PM) gender-matched healthy controls (HC) using graph...
The critical roles of frontostriatal circuits had been revealed in addiction. With regard to young smokers, the implication resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) smoking behaviors and cognitive control deficits remains unclear. In this study, volume striatum subsets, i.e., caudate, putamen, nucleus accumbens, corresponding RSFC differences were investigated between smokers (n1 = 60) nonsmokers (n2 60), which then correlated with cigarette measures, such as pack_years-cumulative effect...
Previous studies have provided evidence of structural and task‐related functional changes in the brains patients with migraine without aura. Resting‐state brain activity provides clues to pathophysiology disease. However, few focused on resting‐state abnormalities In current study, we employed a data‐driven method, regional homogeneity (ReHo), analyze local features spontaneous aura during resting state. Twenty‐six 26 age‐, education‐ gender‐matched healthy volunteers participated this...
Acupuncture is a commonly used therapy for treating functional dyspepsia (FD), although the mechanism remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to investigate differences in cerebral glycometabolism changes evoked by acupuncture and sham explore possible correlations between brain responses clinical efficacy.In all, 72 FD patients randomly assigned receive either or treatment 4 weeks. Ten each group selected fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed scans...
Multiple diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) derived indices may help to deduce the pathophysiological type of white matter (WM) changes and provide more specific biomarkers WM neuropathology in whole brain migraine patients without aura (MWoA).Twenty MWoA 20 age-, education- gender-matched healthy volunteers participated this study. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) was employed investigate abnormalities by integrating multiple indices, including fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity...
Background Acupuncture has been commonly used for preventing migraine attacks and relieving pain during a migraine, although there is limited knowledge on the physiological mechanism behind this method. The objectives of study were to compare differences in brain activities evoked by active acupoints inactive investigate possible correlation between clinical variables responses. Methods Results A randomized controlled trial resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)...
Abstract Background Advanced neuroimaging approaches have been employed to prove that migraine was a central nervous system disorder. This study aims examine resting-state abnormalities in without aura (MWoA) patients stratified by disease duration, and explore the markers for reflecting duration. Methods 40 eligible MWoA 20 matched healthy volunteers were included study. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) analysis used identify local features of spontaneous brain activity performed investigate...
Abstract Chronic pain has been linked with learning and memory processes functional changes in brain plasticity its development maintenance via neuroimaging studies. However, the principle of reorganization migraine network as progresses into chronic remain poorly understood. Here, using resting‐state magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) graph theory approaches, we aimed to investigate dynamic dysfunctional connectivity 108 patients without aura (MWoA) 30 gender‐matched healthy controls...
Chronic infection with liver flukes (such as Clonorchis sinensis) can induce severe biliary injuries, which cause cholangitis, fibrosis, and even cholangiocarcinoma. The release of extracellular vesicles by C. sinensis (CsEVs) is importance in the long-distance communication between hosts worms. However, biological effects EVs from fluke on injuries underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly characterized. In present study, we found that CsEVs induced M1-like activation. addition, mice...
Background Migraine shows gender-specific incidence and has a higher prevalence in females. However, little is known about gender-related differences dysfunctional brain organization, which may account for vulnerability characteristics of migraine. In this study, we considered the topological property resting functional networks. Methodology/Principal Findings Data was obtained from 38 migraine patients (18 males 20 females) healthy subjects females). We used graph theory analysis, becomes...
Previous diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies revealed contradictory effects of smoking on fractional anisotropy (FA). Multiple DTI-derived indices may help to deduce the pathophysiological type white matter (WM) changes and provide more specific biomarkers WM neuropathology in whole brain young smokers. Twenty-three smokers 22 age-, education- gender-matched healthy non-smoking controls participated this study. Tract-based spatial statistics was employed investigate microstructure by...
Background and purpose Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common bowel-brain interaction disorder whose pathogenesis unclear. Many studies have investigated abnormal changes in brain function IBS patients. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic patients using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Methods Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data clinical characteristics of 35 with 31 healthy controls (HCs) were collected. The rs-fMRI all participants HMM to identify recurrent...
