The pain in Fibromyalgia (FM) is difficult to treat and functional mobility seems be an important comorbidity these patients that could evolve into a disability. In this study we wanted investigate the analgesic effects of music FM pain. Twenty-one were passively exposed 1) self-chosen, relaxing, pleasant music, 2) control auditory condition (pink noise). They rated performed "timed-up & go task (TUG)" measure after each condition. Listening pleasant, self-chosen reduced increased...
Digitized neuroanatomical atlases that can be overlaid onto functional data are crucial for localizing brain structures and analyzing networks identified by neuroimaging techniques. To aid in structural analysis, we have created a comprehensive parcellation of the rhesus macaque subcortex using high-resolution ex vivo imaging scan. This anatomical scan its were warped to updated NIMH Macaque Template (NMT v2), an population template, where was refined produce Subcortical Atlas Rhesus (SARM)...
Music reduces pain in fibromyalgia (FM), a chronic disease, but the functional neural correlates of music-induced analgesia are still largely unknown. We recruited FM patients (n = 22) who listened to their preferred relaxing music and an auditory control (pink noise) for 5 minutes without external noise from fMRI image acquisition. Resting state was then acquired before after conditions. A significant increase amplitude low frequency fluctuations BOLD signal evident left angular gyrus...
The ability to recognize metric accents is fundamental in both music and language perception. It has been suggested that listeners prefer rhythms follow simple binary meters, which are common Western music. This means expect odd-numbered beats be strong even-numbered weak. In support of this, studies have shown exposed show stronger novelty incongruity related P3 irregularity detection mismatch negativity (MMN) brain responses attenuated odd- than positions. Furthermore, behavioral evidence...
Neuroimaging non-human primates (NHPs) is a growing, yet highly specialized field of neuroscience. Resources that were primarily developed for human neuroimaging often need to be significantly adapted use with NHPs or other animals, which has led an abundance custom, in-house solutions. In recent years, the global NHP community made significant efforts transform towards more open and collaborative practices. Here we present PRIMatE Resource Exchange (PRIME-RE), new online platform...
Abstract As the global health crisis unfolded, many academic conferences moved online in 2020. This move has been hailed as a positive step towards inclusivity its attenuation of economic, physical, and legal barriers effectively enabled individuals from groups that have traditionally underrepresented to join participate. A number studies outlined how moving made it possible gather more community increased opportunities for with various constraints, e.g., caregiving responsibilities. Yet,...
Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a substance (SUD) characterized by compulsion to seek, and abuse of cocaine, with severe health economic consequences for the patients, their families society. Due lack successful treatments high relapse rate, more research needed understand this other SUD. Here, we present SUDMEX CONN dataset, Mexican open dataset 74 CUD patients (9 female) matched 64 healthy controls (6 that includes demographic, cognitive, clinical, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. MRI...
Listening to music has been found reduce acute and chronic pain. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood; however, emotion cognitive have suggested influence the analgesic effect of music. In this study we investigated familiarity, emotional features, style on music-induced analgesia. Forty-eight healthy participants were divided into three groups (empathizers, systemizers balanced) received pain induced by heat while listening different sounds. Participants listened unfamiliar...
The striatum and thalamus are subcortical structures intimately involved in addiction. morphology microstructure of these have been studied murine models cocaine addiction (CA), showing an effect drug use, but also chronological age morphology. Human studies using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shown inconsistencies volume changes, effect. In this exploratory study, we used MRI-based volumetric novel shape analysis, as well a fast diffusion kurtosis sequence to study the crack...
Perfect pitch, also known as absolute pitch (AP), refers to the rare ability identify or produce a musical tone correctly without benefit of an external reference. AP is often considered reflect giftedness, but it has been associated with certain disabilities due increased prevalence in individuals sensory and developmental disorders. Here, we determine whether individual autistic traits are present people AP. We quantified subclinical levels autism using Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) three...
Absolute pitch (AP), the ability to identify a musical without reference, has been examined behaviorally in numerous studies for more than century, yet only few have neuroanatomical correlates of AP. Here, we used MRI and diffusion tensor imaging investigate structural differences brains musicians with AP, by means whole-brain vertex-wise cortical thickness (CT) analysis tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis. APs displayed increased CT number areas including bilateral superior...
Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a worldwide public health condition that suggested to induce pathological changes in macrostructure and microstructure. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has gained attention as potential treatment for CUD symptoms. Here, we sought elucidate whether rTMS induces white matter (WM) microstructure frontostriatal circuits after 2 weeks of therapy patients with test baseline WM the same affects clinical improvement. This study consisted 2-week,...
Abstract Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a global health problem with severe consequences, leading to behavioral, cognitive, and neurobiological disturbances. While consensus on treatments still ongoing, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as promising approach for medication-resistant disorders, including substance disorders. In this context, here we present the SUDMEX-TMS, Mexican dataset from an rTMS clinical trial involving CUD patients. This longitudinal...
Pathological chronic stress is exceeding the organism's ability to cope physiologically, which may act as a risk factor in onset and relapse of alcohol use disorder. Chronic- restraint (CRS) ethanol intake are independently known induce changes brain structure function, however, their combined effects on neurodevelopment over long periods time remains largely unexplored. We conducted an vivo longitudinal rat model with three main goals. 1) determine if increases intake; 2) effect chronic-...
