White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez, Gabriel Girard, Philipp Johannes Koch, Liana Okudzhava

Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...

Differential Impact of Brain Network Efficiency on Poststroke Motor and Attentional Deficits

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Philip Egger, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Elena Beanato, Gabriel Girard, Julia Brügger, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Background:Most studies on stroke have been designed to examine one deficit in isolation; yet, survivors often have multiple deficits in different domains. While the mechanisms underlying multiple-domain deficits remain poorly understood, network-theoretic ...

Opinion Formation over Adaptive Networks

Virginia Bordignon

An adaptive network consists of multiple communicating agents, equipped with sensing and learning abilities that allow them to extract meaningful information from measurements. The objective of the network is to solve a global inference problem in a decent ...

Investigating cognitive ability using action-based models of structural brain networks

Enrico Amico

Recent developments in network neuroscience have highlighted the importance of developing techniques for analysing and modelling brain networks. A particularly powerful approach for studying complex neural systems is to formulate generative models that use ...

The role of medial amygdala inhibitory neurons in regulating social behavior

Aiste Baleisyte

Aggression is an evolutionary conserved social behavior that is necessary for an animalÂŽs survival. The neural substrates coordinating aggression are known to exist in the amygdala and the hypothalamus. While the medial amygdala (MeA) and the ventrolatera ...

Target cell-type specificity of a cortico-amygdala long range synaptic connection

Ayah Khubieh

An important function of the brain is to analyze sensory information, and to modulate animal behaviour according to previous experience. During processes of emotional learning, sensory percepts with a reinforcing quality, also called unconditioned stimuli ...

Connectivity Measures Differentiate Cortical and Subcortical Sub-Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Silvestro Micera, Michael Lassi

Brain lesions caused by cerebral ischemia lead to network disturbances in both hemispheres, causing a subsequent reorganization of functional connectivity both locally and remotely with respect to the injury. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) meth ...

A VTA to Basal Amygdala Dopamine Projection Contributes to Signal Salient Somatosensory Events during Fear Learning

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Wei Tang, Michael Kintscher

The amygdala is a brain area critical for the formation of fear memories. However, the nature of the teaching signal(s) that drive plasticity in the amygdala are still under debate. Here, we use optogenetic methods to investigate the contribution of ventra ...

Exploring dynamic functional connectivity by incorporating prior knowledge of brain structure

Anjali Bagunu Tarun

The synchronized firing of distant neuronal populations gives rise to a wide array of functional brain networks that underlie human brain function. Given the enormous perception, learning, and cognition potential of the human brain, it is not surprising th ...

Modeling time-varying brain networks with a self-tuning optimized Kalman filter

Gijs Plomp, David Pascucci

Brain networks are complex dynamical systems in which directed interactions between different areas evolve at the sub-second scale of sensory, cognitive and motor processes. Due to the highly non-stationary nature of neural signals and their unknown noise ...

Brain functional connectivity dynamics at rest in the aftermath of affective and cognitive challenges

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey, Julian Gaviria

Carry-over effects on brain states have been reported following emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigated such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs) in neural networks at rest wit ...

Brain networks and their relevance for stroke rehabilitation

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Philipp Johannes Koch

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in statistics have enabled new tools for the examination of the consequences of stroke ...

An intracerebral exploration of functional connectivity during word production

Amandine Grappe

Language is mediated by pathways connecting distant brain regions that have diverse functional roles. For word production, the network includes a ventral pathway, connecting temporal and inferior frontal regions, and a dorsal pathway, connecting parietal a ...

Graph Signal Processing Of Human Brain Imaging Data

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton

Modern neuroimaging techniques offer disctinct views on brain structure and function. Data acquired using these techniques can be analyzed in terms of its network structure to identify organizing principles at the systems level. Graph representations are f ...

The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory

Wei Tang

Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...

Dorsal and ventral stream contributions to form-from-motion perception in a patient with form-from motion deficit: a case report

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

The main model of visual processing in primates proposes an anatomo-functional distinction between the dorsal stream, specialized in spatio-temporal information, and the ventral stream, processing essentially form information. However, these two pathways a ...

On the Structure of Cortical Microcircuits Inferred from Small Sample Sizes

Rodrigo de Campos Perin

The structure in cortical microcircuits deviates from what would be expected in a purely random network, which has been seen as evidence of clustering. To address this issue, we sought to reproduce the nonrandom features of cortical circuits by considering ...
