Neural mechanisms of self-processing in autism: An ALE-based meta-analysis by Yue Yuan, Mingda Tao, Aibao Zhou, Xiangli Guan, Jiaomei Zhang

“…By choosing 8 fMRI studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) self-processing, this study used ALE meta-analysis to investigate the brain underpinnings of self-processing in ASD. The findings revealed the following: (1) The capacity to make self-other distinctions and mirroring in social interactions is impacted by inadequate activation of brain areas of the mirror neuron system in ASD, which in turn impairs social interactions. (2) ASD activated more brain regions in self-processing than typically developing (TD) individuals. …”

Neuroplasticity of Acupuncture for Stroke: An Evidence-Based Review of MRI by Jinhuan Zhang, Chunjian Lu, Xiaoxiong Wu, Dehui Nie, Haibo Yu

“…This review focuses on the evidence on the possible mechanisms underlying mechanisms of acupuncture therapy in treating stroke by regulating brain plasticity. We found that acupuncture reorganizes not only motor-related network, including primary motor cortex (M1), premotor cortex, supplementary motor area (SMA), frontoparietal network (LFPN and RFPN), and sensorimotor network (SMN), as well as default mode network (aDMN and pDMN), but also language-related brain areas including inferior frontal gyrus frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, as well as cognition-related brain regions. …”

Power Spectral Density and Functional Connectivity Changes due to a Sensorimotor Neurofeedback Training: A Preliminary Study by Juan L. Terrasa, Guzmán Alba, Ignacio Cifre, Beatriz Rey, Pedro Montoya, Miguel A. Muñoz

“…Several studies have shown that subjects can learn to modulate SMR power to control output devices, but little is known about possible related changes in brain networks. The aim of this study was to investigate the enhanced performance and changes in EEG power spectral density at somatosensory cerebral areas due to a bidirectional modulation-based SMR neurofeedback training. …”

Crochet increases attention through a requiring motor skill learning by Davide Rossi Sebastiano, Cristina Muscio, Dunja Duran, Deborah Bonfoco, Sara Dotta, Paola Anversa, Elisa Pellencin, Pietro Tiraboschi, Elisa Visani

“…Increased global BCmax in the beta band after the crochet activity correlated with better performance (reduced reaction times), suggesting that the brain has become more efficiently integrated, thus increasing the information exchange between different brain areas. …”

PET imaging of AAV9 and AAVBR1 trafficking in normal mice by Aditya Bansal, Shalini Sharma, Manasa Kethamreddy, Mukesh K. Pandey

“…The two serotypes showed differences in their biodistribution and trafficking in mice as early as 10 min post-injection. The brain targeting serotype, [89Zr]Zr-AAVBR1-CMV-fLuc, showed significantly higher uptake in the brain as compared to [89Zr]Zr-AAV9-CMV-fLuc. …”
