The cerebellum is believed to play an essential role in a variety of motor and cognitive functions through reciprocal interaction with the cerebral cortex. Recent findings suggest that cerebellar involvement network specialized for visual body motion processing may be mediated right superior temporal sulcus (STS). Yet, underlying pattern structural connectivity between STS remains unidentified. In present work, diffusion tensor imaging analysis on seeds derived from functional magnetic...
The perception of actions underwrites a wide range socio-cognitive functions. Previous neuroimaging and lesion studies identified several components the brain network for visual biological motion (BM) processing, but interactions among these their relationship to behavior remain little understood. Here, using recently developed integrative analysis structural effective connectivity derived from high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) functional magnetic resonance (fMRI), we assess...
Covering faces with masks, due to mandatory pandemic safety regulations, we can no longer rely on the habitual daily-life information. This may be thought-provoking for healthy people, but particularly challenging individuals neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Au fait research reading covered reveals that: 1) wearing masks hampers facial affect recognition, though it leaves reliable inferring basic emotional expressions; 2) by buffering affect, lead narrowing of spectrum...

In 2024, therapeutic and diagnostic advancements are shaping the field of neurology. Three new drugs show promise for treating myasthenia gravis chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. A classification Parkinson's disease has been proposed, while a neuroprosthesis is improving gait in advanced stages. Revised criteria inclusion body myositis multiple sclerosis refining diagnoses, blood biomarkers enabling early detection Alzheimer's disease. The effectiveness thrombolysis stroke...
The cerebellum has traditionally been viewed as a brain structure subserving skilled motor behaviors. However, the might be involved not only in movement coordination, but also action observation and understanding of others' actions. Veridical visual perception human body motion is immense importance for variety daily-life situations successful social interactions. Here, by combining psychophysics with lesion analysis, we assessed sensitivity to walking patients lesions left cerebellum....
Body motion is a rich source of information for social cognition. However, gender effects in body language reading are largely unknown. Here we investigated whether, and, if so, how recognition emotional expressions revealed by dependent. To this end, females and males were presented with point-light displays portraying knocking at door performed different expressions. The findings show that affects accuracy rather than speed reading. This effect, however, modulated content actions: surpass...
Despite the potential for better understanding functional neuroanatomy, complex relationship between neuroimaging measures of brain structure and function has confounded integrative, multimodal analyses connectivity. This is particularly true task-related effective connectivity, which describes causal influences neuronal populations. Here, we assess whether structural connectivity may usefully inform estimates in larger scale networks. To this end, introduce an integrative approach,...
Adaptive social behavior and mental well-being depend on not only recognizing emotional expressions but also, inferring the absence of emotion. While neurobiology underwriting perception emotions is well studied, mechanisms for detecting a lack content in signals remain largely unknown. Here, using cutting-edge analyses effective brain connectivity, we uncover networks differentiating neutral body language. The data indicate greater activation right amygdala midline cerebellar vermis to...
The continuous stream of multisensory information between the brain and body during body-environment interactions is crucial to maintain updated representation perceived dimensions parts (metric representation) space around (the peripersonal space). Such flow signals often limited by upper limb sensorimotor deficits after stroke. This would suggest presence systematic distortions metric in chronic patients with persistent deficits. We assessed 60 stroke unilateral motor deficits, comparison...
Perception of intentions and dispositions others is an essential ingredient adaptive daily-life social behaviour. Dynamics moving images leads to veridical perception attributes. Anecdotal observations in art, science, popular culture indicate that dynamic imbalance can be revealed static images. Here, we ask whether perceived dynamics abstract figures related emotional attribution. Participants first estimated instability geometric shapes rotated 15° steps the image plane, then rated...
Therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with natalizumab (Tysabri; Biogen Idec) has been shown to be effective in the reduction of clinical relapse rate and disability progression. However, real-life longitudinal data, including years before baseline, are rare.An observational single-center study was carried out. We analyzed data from 64 consecutive patients sclerosis.After 1 year treatment (n = 64), score on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) decreased by 0.47 points (P...
Abstract The intrinsic connectivity of the salience network (SN) plays an important role in social behavior, however directional influence that individual nodes have on each other has not yet been fully determined. In this study, we used spectral dynamic causal modeling to characterize effective patterns SN for 44 healthy older adults and patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) who focal dysfunction. We examined relationship connections individuals' socioemotional...
