Sweet spot for resting-state functional MRI effect of deep brain stimulation in dystonia lies in the lower pallidal area by Pavel Filip, Andrej Lasica, Dimitra Kiakou, Karsten Mueller, Jiří Keller, Dušan Urgošík, Daniel Novák, Robert Jech

“…Conclusions: All in all, this study not only replicated the results of previous studies on GPi DBS as a modality restoring sensorimotor network connectivity and local activity in dystonia towards the levels in healthy population, but also showed that lower GPi area or even subpallidal structures, be it white matter or even small, but essential nodes in the zona incerta as nucleus basalis of Meynert, are important regions to consider when programming DBS in dystonia patients.…”

Research progress on brain network imaging biomarkers of subjective cognitive decline by Han Yingmei, Wang Chaojie, Zhang Yi, Li Yijie, Zhang Heng, Feng Ze, Li Weiqing, Chu Bingyuan, Wang Feng

“…PurposeSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is an early manifestation of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continuum, and accurately diagnosing SCD to differentiate it from neurotypical aging in older adults is a common challenge for researchers.MethodsThis review examines and summarizes relevant studies regarding the neuroimaging of the AD continuum, and comprehensively summarizes and outlines the SCD clinical features characterizing along with the corresponding neuroimaging changes involving structural, functional, and metabolic networks.ResultsThe clinical characteristics of SCD include a subjective decline in self-perceived cognitive function, and there are significant imaging changes, such as reductions in gray matter volume in certain brain regions, abnormalities in the integrity of white matter tracts and diffusion metrics, alterations in functional connectivity between different sub-networks or within networks, as well as abnormalities in brain metabolic networks and cerebral blood flow perfusion.ConclusionThe 147 referenced studies in this paper indicate that exploring the structural, functional, and metabolic network changes in the brain related to SCD through neuroimaging aims to enhance the goals and mission of brain science development programs: “Understanding the Brain,” “Protecting the Brain,” and “Creating the Brain,” thereby strengthening researchers’ investigation into the mechanisms of brain function. …”
