Thalamocortical Connectivity Reduction in Rolandic Epilepsy Rolandic Epilepsy (RE), also known as self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SELECTS), is the most common localized developmental epileptic encephalopathy. This type of epilepsy is typically accompanied by transient mild to severe cognitive symptoms, sleep-related rolandic spike...

Study on the Correlation between Adult Auditory Language Comprehension and Resting-State Alpha Wave Power Academic Background and Research Question Although individual differences in adult language processing have been documented in literature, the neural basis largely remains to be explored. Existing research primarily focuses on how general cogni...

The Level of Salivary Testosterone and Pain Perception Show Sex-Specific Associations in Healthy Adults, But Not in Migraine Patients Introduction Understanding the complexity of pain and the role gender plays in pain perception is of significant importance in medical research. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized mainly by resting tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been widely used to treat the motor symptoms of PD (Krauss et al., 2021). However, DBS treatment also has significant side effects, most of which are caused by the extension of stimulat...

This paper is a study on the phenotypic associations and neurobiological bases of single-subject morphological brain networks. Combining multimodal and multiscale data, this study reveals the differences in morphological brain networks between genders, their potential as individual-specific markers, and their relationships with gene expression, lay...

Study of Network Information Interactions in Schizophrenia Magnetoencephalograms Based on Permutation Transfer Entropy Academic Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a mental disorder characterized by persistent delusions and hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and inconsistent behavior, often leading to significant impairment in the perception of r...

Brain Functional Network for Anxiety Analysis and Detection Based on Improved Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Academic Background and Research Objectives With the increasing stress of modern life, anxiety, a common neurological disorder, has become an urgent issue in global public health. Anxiety not only manifests as mental disorders but als...

The Impact of Amplitude and Phase-based MRI Time Series on Functional Connectivity Analysis Introduction Over the past decade, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive imaging technique that uses blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast to measure brain activity and study brain function (Kwong, 1996). By analyz...

The Mechanism of Action of Specific Reprogramming of Histone H3 Lysine 9 Acetylation (H3K9ac) in the Progression and Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) Background Esophageal cancer is one of the most prevalent and invasive malignant tumors globally, causing over 500,000 cancer-related deaths annually, ranking sixth among cancer...
