Amygdala Neurodegeneration: A Key Driver of Visual Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Visual disability in Parkinson's disease (PD) is not fully explained by retinal neurodegeneration. We aimed to delineate the brain substrate of visual dysfunction in PD and its association with retinal thickness. Methods Forty‐two PD patients and 29 controls underwent 3‐Tesla MRI, retinal spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography,

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 After injury to the corticospinal tract (CST) in early development there is large-scale adaptation of descending motor pathways. Some studies suggest the uninjured hemisphere controls the impaired forelimb, while others suggest that the injured ...

Spontaneous formation of chaotic protrusions in a polymerizing active gel layer [PDF]
, 2019 The actin cortex is a thin layer of actin filaments and myosin motors beneath the outer membrane of animal cells. It determines the cells' mechanical properties and forms important morphological structures. Physical descriptions of the cortex as a contractile active gel suggest that these structures can result from dynamic instabilities.

Local Field Potential Journey into the Basal Ganglia [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Local Field potential (LFP) in the basal ganglia (BG) nuclei in the brain have attracted much research and clinical interest. However, the origin of this signal is still under debate throughout the last decades. The question is whether it is a local subthreshold phenomenon, synaptic input to neurons or it is a flow of electrical signals merged as ...

Dissociating motor cortex from the motor
The Journal of Physiology, 2011 Abstract During closed‐loop control of a brain–computer interface, neurons in the primary motor cortex can be intensely active even though the subject may be making no detectable movement or muscle contraction. How can neural activity in the primary motor cortex become dissociated from the movements and muscles of the native limb that it normally ...

Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy: Distinctive MRI Changes in Cerebellar and Motor Networks
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare generalized epilepsy syndrome with a well‐characterized genetic basis. The brain networks that are affected to give rise to the distinctive symptoms of PME are less well understood. Methods Eleven individuals with PME with a confirmed genetic diagnosis and 22 controls were studied.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Certain frontotemporal lobar degeneration subtypes, including TDP‐A and B, can either occur sporadically or in association with specific genetic mutations. It is uncertain whether syndromic or imaging features previously associated with these patient groups are subtype or genotype specific.

Detecting Resting-state Neural Connectivity Using Dynamic Network Analysis on Multiband fMRI Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 This paper describes an approach of using dynamic Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis to estimate the connectivity networks from resting-state fMRI data measured by a multiband EPI sequence. Two structural equation models were estimated at each voxel with respect to the sensory-motor network and default-mode network.

Task-driven intra- and interarea communications in primate cerebral cortex [PDF]
, 2014 Neural correlations during a cognitive task are central to study brain information processing and computation. However, they have been poorly analyzed due to the difficulty of recording simultaneous single neurons during task performance. In the present work, we quantified neural directional correlations using spike trains that were simultaneously ...
