Hydatid Disease Located in the Cerebellomedullary Cistern by Özgür Kızılca, Murat Altaş, Utku Şenol, Murat Alp Öztek

“…Liver, followed by lung, is the most commonly affected organ and involvement of other organs is rare. When brain is involved, lesions are typically supratentorial, and infratentorial localisation is even rarer. …”

Circadian Rhythm Disturbances in Mood Disorders: Insights into the Role of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus by Chelsea A. Vadnie, Colleen A. McClung

“…In turn, through synaptic and hormonal mechanisms, the SCN can drive and synchronize circadian rhythms in extra-SCN brain regions and peripheral tissues. Thus, genetic or environmental perturbations of SCN rhythms could disrupt brain regions more closely related to mood regulation and cause mood disturbances. …”

On the Origins of Calculation Abilities by A. Ardila

“…A classification of calculation disturbances resulting from brain damage is presented. It is emphasized that using historical/anthropological analysis, it becomes evident that acalculia, finger agnosia, and disorders in right–left discrimination (as in general, in the use of spatial concepts) must constitute a single clinical syndrome, resulting from the disruption of some common brain activity and the impairment of common cognitive mechanisms.…”

Update on a Pharmacokinetic-Centric Alternative Tier II Program for MMT—Part II: Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling and Manganese Risk Assessment by Michael D. Taylor, Harvey J. Clewell, Melvin E. Andersen, Jeffry D. Schroeter, Miyoung Yoon, Athena M. Keene, David C. Dorman

“…Each PBPK model incorporates critical features including dose-dependent saturable tissue capacities and asymmetrical diffusional flux of manganese into brain and other tissues. Varied influx and efflux diffusion rate and binding constants for different brain regions account for the differential increases in regional brain manganese concentrations observed experimentally. …”

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. …”

Structural and Functional Deficits in Patients with Poststroke Dementia: A Multimodal MRI Study by Huaying Cai, Zhiyong Zhao, Linhui Ni, Guocan Han, Xingyue Hu, Dan Wu, Xianjun Ding, Jin Wang

“…Although many neuroimaging studies have reported structural and functional abnormalities in the brains of patients with cognitive impairments following stroke, little is known about the pattern of such brain reorganization in poststroke dementia (PSD). …”

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. …”
