A multicenter cross-sectional study to elucidate altered resting-state functional connectivity of the insular cortex in anorexia nervosa, segmented by functional localization by Yusuke Sudo, Rio Kamashita, Tsunehiko Takamura, Sayo Hamatani, Noriko Numata, Koji Matsumoto, Yasuhiro Sato, Yumi Hamamoto, Tomotaka Shoji, Tomohiko Muratsubaki, Motoaki Sugiura, Shin Fukudo, Michiko Kawabata, Momo Sunada, Tomomi Noda, Keima Tose, Masanori Isobe, Naoki Kodama, Shingo Kakeda, Masatoshi Takahashi, Hiroaki Adachi, Shu Takakura, Motoharu Gondo, Kazufumi Yoshihara, Yoshiya Moriguchi, Eiji Shimizu, Atsushi Sekiguchi, Yoshiyuki Hirano

“…Abstract Although changes in insular function have been thought to play a central role in the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa (AN), due to factors such as insufficient sample size, there have been no studies examining changes in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) between insula and whole brain in AN, based on functional localization of insula. …”

Symmetric linear functionals on the Banach space generated by pseudometrics by S. I. Nykorovych, T. V. Vasylyshyn

“…Two pseudometrics $d_1$ and $d_2$ on a set $X$ are called $B$-equivalent, where $B$ is a subgroup of the group of all bijections on $X,$ if there exists an element $b$ of $B$ such that $d_1(x,y) = d_2(b(x),b(y))$ for every $x,y\in X,$ that is, $d_1$ can be obtained from $d_2$ by permutating elements of $X$ with the aid of the bijection $b.$ The group $B$ generates the group $\widehat B$ of transformations of the set of all pseudometrics on $X,$ elements of which act as $d(\cdot, \cdot)\mapsto d(b(\cdot),b(\cdot)),$ where $d$ is a pseudometrics on $X$ and $b\in B.$ A function $f$ on the set of all pseudometrics on $X$ is called $\widehat B$-symmetric if $f$ is invariant under the action on its argument of elements of the group $\widehat B.$ If two pseudometrics $d_1$ and $d_2$ are $B$-equivalent, then $f(d_1)=f(d_2)$ for every $\widehat B$-symmetric function $f.$ In general, the technique of symmetric functions is well-developed for the case of symmetric continuous polynomials and, in particular, for the case of symmetric continuous linear functionals on Banach spaces. …”
