Investigating White Matter Lesion Load, Intrinsic Functional Connectivity, and Cognitive Abilities in Older Adults [PDF]
Changes to the while matter of the brain disrupt neural communication between spatially distributed brain regions and are associated with cognitive changes in later life.

A Network Analysis Approach to fMRI Condition-Specific Functional Connectivity [PDF]
In this work we focus on examination and comparison of whole-brain functional connectivity patterns measured with fMRI across experimental conditions. Direct examination and comparison of condition-specific matrices is challenging due to the large number of elements in a connectivity matrix. We present a framework that uses network analysis to describe

Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorder, with motor and cognitive symptoms. The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life;

Childhood maltreatment and amygdala connectivity in methamphetamine dependence: a pilot study. [PDF]
IntroductionChildhood maltreatment, a well-known risk factor for the development of substance abuse disorders, is associated with functional and structural abnormalities in the adult brain, particularly in the limbic system.

Home‐Based Tele‐tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home‐based format, remains underexplored.

Interaction patterns of brain activity across space, time and frequency. Part I: methods [PDF]
We consider exploratory methods for the discovery of cortical functional connectivity. Typically, data for the i-th subject (i=1...NS) is represented as an NVxNT matrix Xi, corresponding to brain activity sampled at NT moments in time from NV cortical ...

A Nonseparably Connected Metric Space as a Dense Connected Graph [PDF]
We present a connected metric space that does not contain any nontrivial separable connected subspace. Our space is a dense connected graph of a function from the real line satisfying Cauchy's equation.

Differential covariance: A new method to estimate functional connectivity in fMRI [PDF]
Measuring functional connectivity from fMRI is important in understanding processing in cortical networks. However, because brain's connection pattern is complex, currently used methods are prone to produce false connections. We introduce here a new method that uses derivative for estimating functional connectivity.
