Neuroscientific Research Report on “Domain-General Arousal” Academic Background Arousal is a core concept in neuroscience, referring to fluctuations in brain and body states that underpin motivated behavior. Despite the widespread use of the term “arousal,” its definition has remained ambiguous, with differing interpretations in various textbooks. ...
Larger Perfusion Mismatch Volume is Associated with Longer Hospital Length of Stay in Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke Academic Background Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, imposing a significant burden on both patients and healthcare systems. Prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) is closely associated with adverse clinical outc...
Study on Structural and Functional Network Connectivity Changes in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury Background Introduction Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common neurological disorder that can lead to long-term cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms. Although many patients experience symptom relief within months after the injury, a sign...
Reorganization of Topological Features in Brain Functional Networks in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus Academic Background Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of any external acoustic stimuli or internal sources of auditory perception, with a global prevalence ranging from 11.9% to 30.3%. Patients with tinnitus experience not only aud...
Functional Connectivity of the Default Mode Network During Opioid Use and Cessation Background Opioid abuse has become a global public health issue, particularly in the United States, where opioid overdose deaths have tripled since 1999. Opioids not only lead to addiction but are also associated with chronic pain, immune system suppression, and neu...
MRQA: Addressing the Widespread Problem of MRI Protocol Non-Compliance Background In recent years, large-scale neuroimaging datasets have played a crucial role in studying brain-behavior relationships, such as the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), Human Connectome Project (HCP), and Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) st...
MRIO: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Acquisition and Analysis Ontology Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a biomedical imaging technology used to non-invasively visualize internal structures of tissues in three-dimensional space. MRI is widely used in studying the structure and function of the human brain and is a powerful tool for diagnosing neurol...
Academic report: brainlife.io: A decentralized and open-source cloud platform supporting neuroscience research Background and Motivation Neuroscience research is rapidly developing, and the advancement of data standardization, management, and processing tools has made research more rigorous and transparent. However, this also brings about complex d...
Linking Healthy Neurodevelopment with Imaging, Transcriptomic, and Genetic Associations in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia: A Study of Cortical Gene Expression Patterns Background: How does the complex anatomy and functional organization of the human brain develop from the expression of more than 20,000 genes? And how does this process g...
