Staged Bilateral MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Subthalamotomy for Parkinson Disease

MRI-Guided Staged Bilateral Focused Ultrasound Subthalamotomy for Parkinson’s Disease Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized mainly by motor symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Traditionally, treatments for PD include medication and surgical interventions such as Deep Brain Stimula...

Physical Immune Escape: Weakened Mechanical Communication Leads to Escape of Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma Cells from Macrophages

Physical Immune Escape: Weakened Mechanical Communication Leads to Escape of Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma Cells from Macrophages

Physical Immunoevasion: Attenuated Mechanical Communication Facilitates Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells to Evade Macrophage Attack Background Introduction Cancer metastasis is a complex and daunting challenge, with metastatic cancer cells capable of evading immune cell attacks, breaching the extracellular matrix (ECM), and migrating to other sit...

Cortico-cortical transfer of socially derived information gates emotion recognition

The Gating Role of Cortical Transfer of Socially Derived Information in Emotion Recognition Background Introduction Emotion recognition and the subsequent responses are crucial for survival and maintaining social functions. However, how social information is processed to reliably recognize emotions remains unclear. In this new study, the authors re...

Cortical Networks Relating to Arousal Are Differentially Coupled to Neural Activity and Hemodynamics

Differences in Coupling Between Cortical Networks Related to Arousal in Neural Activity and Hemodynamics Academic Background In the absence of specific sensory inputs or behavioral tasks, the brain generates structured activity patterns. This organized activity is modulated by the state of arousal. The relationship between arousal and cortical acti...

Subthalamic Nucleus-Language Network Connectivity Predicts Dopaminergic Modulation of Speech Function in Parkinson’s Disease

Subthalamic Nucleus-Language Network Connectivity Predicts Dopaminergic Modulation of Speech Function in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease Research Report: Subthalamic Nucleus–Language Network Functional Connectivity Predicts Dopaminergic Modulation of Speech Function Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is primarily characterized by motor impairments, but it also involves non-motor symptoms including speech disorders, severely affecting patients’ quality of life. A...

Motor Cortex Retains and Reorients Neural Dynamics During Motor Imagery

Academic News Report Background The motor cortex has long been the focus of research on motor control, mainly studying its role in active motor execution. However, even in the absence of actual motor output, the motor cortex also activates during motor imagery. Previous behavioral and imaging studies have confirmed this phenomenon, but how the spec...

Using Deep Neural Networks to Disentangle Visual and Semantic Information in Human Perception and Memory

Differentiating Visual and Semantic Information in Human Perception and Memory Using Deep Neural Networks Introduction In cognitive science, the study of how humans recognize individuals and objects during perception and memory processes has long been of interest. Successful recognition of people and objects relies on matching representations gener...

Intracranial electroencephalography reveals effector-independent evidence accumulation dynamics in multiple human brain regions

Academic News Report: Revealing Effector-Independent Evidence Accumulation Dynamics from Intracranial Electrophysiological Recordings Research Background The neural mechanisms underlying the decision-making process have long been a significant topic in neuroscience. Previous studies have indicated that it is possible to identify neural signals rela...

Information-Based TMS to Mid-Lateral Prefrontal Cortex Disrupts Action Goals During Emotional Processing

Abstract In recent years, researchers have gradually recognized that contextual awareness and goal-directed responses to emotional events are crucial for adaptive functioning. Behavioral and emotional regulation models posit that the lateral prefrontal cortex (lpfc) maintains goal-related representations, thereby facilitating cognitive control. How...
