Active adaptation to acute stress is essential for coping with daily life challenges. The hormone cortisol, as well large scale re-allocations of brain resources have been implicated in this adaptation. Stress-induced shifts between large-scale networks, including salience (SN), central executive (CEN) and default mode networks (DMN), however demonstrated mainly under task-conditions. It remains unclear whether such network also occur the absence ongoing task-demands, most critically, these...
Acupuncture has been a popular alternative medicine in the United States for several decades. Its therapeutic effects on pain have validated by both basic and clinical researches, it is currently emerging as unique non-pharmaceutical choice against opioid crisis. However, full spectrum of acupuncture indications remains unexplored. In this study, we conducted cross-sectional survey among 419 acupuncturists nation-wide to investigate top 10 99 private clinics States. We found be: lower back...
To investigate postoperative functional connectivity (FC) alterations across impaired cognitive domains and their causal relationships with systemic inflammation.Postoperative dysfunction commonly occurs after cardiac surgery, both neuroinflammation may trigger its development. Whether FC underlying deficits in specific surgery are affected by inflammation remains unclear.Seventeen patients, who underwent valve replacement, completed a neuropsychological test battery brain MRI scan before on...
Temporal interference transcranial alternating current stimulation (TI-tACS) is a new technique of noninvasive brain stimulation. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness TI-tACS in stimulating areas selective manner. However, its safety modulating human neurons still untested. In this study, 38 healthy adults were recruited to undergo series neurological and neuropsychological measurements regarding concerns before after active (2 mA, 20/70 Hz, 30 min) or sham (0 0 TI-tACS. The...
Applying electrical stimulation over the prefrontal cortex can help nicotine dependents reduce cigarette craving. However, underlying mechanism remains ambiguous. This study investigates this issue with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Thirty-two male chronic smokers received real and sham dorsal lateral (DLPFC) separated by 1 week. The neuroimaging data of resting state, smoking cue-reactivity task emotion after were collected. craving across was diminished during as compared...
White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) of presumed vascular origin are one the most important neuroimaging markers cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which closely associated with cognitive impairment. The aim this study was to elucidate pathogenesis WMHs from perspective inflammation and hypoperfusion mechanisms. A total 65 patients healthy controls were enrolled in study. Inflammatory measurements [hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2...
Although previous studies have reported correlations between alpha oscillations and the "retention" subprocess of working memory (WM), causal evidence has been limited in human neuroscience due to lack delicate modulation brain oscillations. Conventional transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is not suitable for demonstrating parietal WM retention because its inability modulate within a short period (i.e., subprocess). Here, we developed an online phase-corrected tACS system...
We sought to use the regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach as an index in resting-state functional MRI investigate gender differences of spontaneous brain activity within cerebral cortex and networks (RSNs) young adult healthy volunteers.One hundred twelve volunteers (56 males, 56 females) participated fMRI scan. The ReHo mappings RSNs male female groups were compared.We found statistically significant primary visual network (PVN) (P < 0.004, with Bonferroni correction) left attention (LAtN),...
Human empathy is not merely a resonance with others' physical condition, but modulated by social factors. Using functional magnetic imaging, the present study demonstrated an increased brain empathic response to others in pain when they received no rather than large reward, increments of ACC, aMCC, insula and postcentral gyrus matrix temporoparietal junction. Thus, target's financial situation responses based on understanding target faces.
Depression increases the risk of progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia, where impaired emotion regulation is a core symptom depression. However, neural mechanisms underlying decreased in individuals with MCI combined depressive symptoms are not precise. We assessed behavioral performance by tasks and recorded event-related electroencephalography (EEG) signals related simultaneously. EEG analysis, including potential (ERP), spectral perturbation (ERSP), functional...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by misfolding of α-synuclein. Clinical manifestations include slowly developing resting tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia and abnormal gait. The pathological mechanisms underlying PD are complex yet to be fully elucidated. studies suggest that the onset gastrointestinal symptoms may precede motor in patients. microbiota-gut-brain axis plays bidirectional communication role between enteric nervous system central...
Most previous studies of brain responses to acupuncture were designed investigate the instant effect while cumulative that should be more important in clinical practice has seldom been discussed. In this study, neural basis was analyzed. For experiment, forty healthy volunteers recruited, which than 40 minutes repeated stimulation implemented at acupoint Zhusanli (ST36). Three runs fMRI datasets acquired, with each run consisting two blocks stimulation. Besides general linear model (GLM)...
Gait disturbances are important clinical features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) that increase the risk falls and disability. Brain structural alterations gait in CSVD patients have been well demonstrated. However, intrinsic resting function patterns with disorders remain largely unknown. Fifty-eight were enrolled our studies categorized into disorder group (CSVD-GD, n = 29) no-gait (CSVD-NGD, based on a examination. was quantitatively assessed Timed Up Go test intelligent device...
Abstract Modulating the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), especially right counterpart, shows promises in enhancing social cognitive ability. However, it is ambiguous whether functional lateralization of TPJ determines people's responsiveness to brain stimulation. Here, this issue investigated with an individual difference approach. Forty‐five participants attended three sessions transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) experiments and one neuroimaging session. The results support...
More and more college students are using microblogs, with some excessive users demonstrating addiction-like symptoms. However, there is currently no published scale available for use in assessing of these a significant impediment to advancing this area research. We collected data from 3,047 China developed Microblog Excessive Use Scale (MEUS) Chinese students, comparing it criteria used Internet addiction. Our diagnostic featured three factors, two which–"withdrawal health problem" "time...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and cognitive impairment related metabolic syndrome (MetS) underlying neural network mechanisms. Methods cross‐sectional included 50 participants with MetS WMHs (MetS‐WMHs), 45 without WMHs, control participants. All underwent resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging a detailed evaluation. A graph theory analysis based on was conducted calculate properties. mediation...
