Study on Large‐Scale Brain Network Abnormalities in Patients With Beta‐Thalassemia by Mingrui Yang, Guowei Chen, Peng Peng, Cheng Tang, Chaotian Luo, Fei Peng, Rong Kong, Chunxia Zhu, Jiatong Liang

“…Results In β‐TM patients, FC within brain networks was significantly reduced in the anterior default mode network (aDMN), posterior default mode network (pDMN), left frontoparietal network (lFPN), right frontoparietal network (rFPN), ventral attention network (VAN), and executive control network (ECN). In contrast, FC was significantly increased in the dorsal sensorimotor network (dSMN) and posterior visual network (pVN). …”

Obesity-related alterations of intrinsic functional architecture: a resting-state fMRI study based on the human connectome project by Tongtong Wang, Todd Jackson, Matthew Lock, Hui Li, Jin Yan, Qian Zhuang, Shuaiyu Chen

“…Additionally, the fALFF alterations in insula/temploral pole and also the rDLPFC-PCL FC partially mediated the relationship between body mass index and the executive function. Furthermore, cross-modal correlation analyses indicated that ICC and fALFF alterations were related to noradrenaline transporter and dopamine receptor distributions, respectively.DiscussionTogether our findings suggested that obesity is associated with atypical neurotransmitter systems and dysfunctional architecture especially in the prefrontal cortex, insula, sensorimotor cortex, and default mode circuits. …”

Cortico-striatal action control inherent of opponent cognitive-motivational styles by Cassandra Avila, Martin Sarter

“…Furthermore, we investigated rats exhibiting preferably goal-directed (goal trackers, GTs) versus cue-driven attention (sign-trackers, STs), to determine the impact of such cognitive-motivational biases on cortico-striatal control. GTs executed more cued turns and initiated such turns more slowly than STs. …”
