Stability effects on results of diffusion tensor imaging analysis by reduction of the number of gradient directions due to motion artifacts: an application to presymptomatic Huntington's disease. [PDF]
In diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the fractional anisotropy (FA) maps can be obtained when the number of recorded gradient directions (GD) is increased.

The microbiota–gut–brain axis in Huntington's disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Disturbances of the microbiota–gut–brain axis are evident in people with Huntington's disease (HD) and in HD animal models. Here, we provide an overview of how the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gut, their secretory products, and the microbiota–gut–brain axis may contribute to HD pathogenesis.

Time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions following transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils [PDF]
The time course of oxidative damage in different brain regions was investigated in the gerbil model of transient cerebral ischemia. Animals were subjected to both common carotid arteries occlusion for 5 min.

Amyloid imaging in aging and dementia: testing the amyloid hypothesis in vivo. [PDF]
Amyloid imaging represents a major advance in neuroscience, enabling the detection and quantification of pathologic protein aggregations in the brain. In this review we survey current amyloid imaging techniques, focusing on positron emission tomography ...

ABSTRACT Background The CTNNB1 syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder considered an ultra‐rare disease, first discovered in 2012. Given its comorbidity of symptoms with more prevalent diseases, such as ASD or CP, many CTNNB1 syndrome patients had previously received those diagnosis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to establish differences on the

Abstract The neuropsychological disorder of anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) can offer unique insights into the neurocognitive processes of body consciousness and representation. Previous studies have found associations between selective social cognition deficits and anosognosia.

Integrated genomics and proteomics define huntingtin CAG length-dependent networks in mice. [PDF]
To gain insight into how mutant huntingtin (mHtt) CAG repeat length modifies Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis, we profiled mRNA in over 600 brain and peripheral tissue samples from HD knock-in mice with increasing CAG repeat lengths.

Local sleep in songbirds: different simultaneous sleep states across the avian pallium
Summary Wakefulness and sleep have often been treated as distinct and global brain states. However, an emerging body of evidence on the local regulation of sleep stages challenges this conventional view. Apart from unihemispheric sleep, the current data that support local variations of neural oscillations during sleep are focused on the homeostatic ...

Neural pathways underlying the production of pitch and rhythm in aphasia
Singing is a universal trait, and prior studies suggest singing ability may be preserved in poststroke aphasia. This study examined neural networks underpinning singing in patients with aphasia using white matter connectometry and singing accuracy assessments. Results showed patients with aphasia had poorer singing accuracy than controls, linked to the

Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.
