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. …”

Bundled assessment to replace on-road test on driving function in stroke patients: a binary classification model via random forest by Lu Huang, Lu Huang, Xin Liu, Jiang Yi, Yu-Wei Jiao, Tian-Qi Zhang, Guang-Yao Zhu, Shu-Yue Yu, Zhong-Liang Liu, Min Gao, Xiao-Qin Duan

“…A random forest algorithm was then applied to construct a binary classification model based on the data obtained from the two groups.ResultsCompared to the Unsuccess group, the Success group had higher scores on the OCS scale for “crossing out the intact heart” (p = 0.015) and lower scores for “executive function” (p = 0.009). The analysis of eye tracking recordings revealed that the Success group exhibited a reduced pupil change rate, a higher proportion of eye movement types that were fixations, a longer mean fixation duration, and a significantly faster mean average velocity of saccade in the U-turn (p = 0.032), Left-turn (p = 0.015), and Free-driving tasks (p = 0.027). …”
