Significance Using network analysis of resting-state functional MRI data, we demonstrate that significant randomization global metrics, and greater resilience to targeted attack on hubs, was replicably demonstrable in Chinese patients with schizophrenia, also demonstrated for the first time their nonpsychotic first-degree relatives. These results support hypothesis networks are abnormally randomized resilient schizophrenia indicate randomization/resilience may be an endophenotype, or marker...
Studies of brain functional connectivity have provided a better understanding organization and integration large-scale networks. Functional using resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is typically based upon the correlations low-frequency fluctuation fMRI signals. Reproducible spatial maps in also been observed amplitude fluctuations (ALFF) resting-state. However, little known about influence ALFF on measures. In present study, we analyzed data 79 healthy old individuals. Spatial...
Abstract Bumetanide has been reported to alter synaptic excitation–inhibition (E-I) balance by potentiating the action of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby attenuating severity autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in animal models. However, clinical evidence its efficacy young patients with ASD is limited. This was investigated present trial 83 patients, randomised bumetanide group (bumetanide treatment, 0.5 mg twice daily) or control (no treatment). Primary [Children Autism Rating Scale...
To analyze the functioning of posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) in depression, we performed first fully voxel-level resting state functional-connectivity neuroimaging analysis depression PCC, with 336 patients major depressive disorder and 350 controls. Voxels PCC had significantly increased functional connectivity lateral orbitofrontal cortex, a region implicated non-reward which is thereby depression. In receiving medication, between was decreased back towards that controls, it shown has...
Abstract The human hippocampus is involved in forming new memories: damage impairs memory. dual stream model suggests that object “what” representations from ventral temporal cortex project to the via perirhinal and then lateral entorhinal cortex, spatial “where” dorsal parietal parahippocampal gyrus medial cortex. can associate these inputs form episodic memories of what happened where. Diffusion tractography was used reveal direct connections hippocampal system areas humans. This provides...
