Cerebral Perfusion in Chronic Stroke: Implications for Lesion-Symptom Mapping and Functional MRI by Jessica D. Richardson, Julie M. Baker, Paul S. Morgan, Chris Rorden, L. Bonilha, Julius Fridriksson

“…Lesion-symptom mapping studies are based upon the assumption that behavioral impairments are directly related to structural brain damage. Given what is known about the relationship between perfusion deficits and impairment in acute stroke, attributing specific behavioral impairments to localized brain damage leaves much room for speculation, as impairments could also reflect abnormal neurovascular function in brain regions that appear structurally intact on traditional CT and MRI scans. …”

Exploring the role of electrode density in capturing spatiotemporal dynamics of resting-state networks with EEG by Matheus Mangini Bertuzzo, Rodrigo P Rocha, Ricardo Spyrídes Boabaid Pimentel Gonçalves, Adair Roberto Soares Dos Santos, Odival Cezar Gasparotto

“…Point process analysis was employed to identify regions of high activity over time, revealing dynamic brain salient activity patterns, or brain maps. We evaluated the impact of electrode density by comparing 64-channel and 20-channel configurations and found that both configurations yielded similar and consistent brain maps. …”

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection by Michaela Dvorakova, Ken Mackie, Alex Straiker

“…Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE), metabotropic suppression of excitation (MSE), long term depression (LTD) and activation-dependent desensitization. …”

Progress in the Application of Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain by XU Ting, XUE Qin, LÜ Ying, TU Jianchun, DAI Dechun

“…Studies show that there are plastic changes in the brain areas related to pain perception, emotion, and cognition in CNLBP, and these abnormalities still exist even in the absence of noxious pain; the function of the motivation-reward circuit in CNLBP is weakened, leading to a decline in cognitive ability; the Default Mode Network (DMN) produces complex regulation of pain through the adjustment within its own network and other brain networks; negative emotions may further reduce the information transmission capacity at both global and local levels of the CNLBP brain functional network. …”
