- Structural covariance network of the hippocampus-amygdala complex in medication-naive patients with first-episode major depressive disorderby Lianqing Zhang on April 26, 2024
CONCLUSION: Our results provide the first evidence of atypical topologic characteristics within the hippocampus-amygdala complex in patients with MDD using structure network analysis. It provides more delineate mechanism of those two structures that underlying neuropathologic process in MDD.
- The inferior frontal gyrus and familial risk for bipolar disorderby Kun Qin on April 26, 2024
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a familial disorder with high heritability. Genetic factors have been linked to the pathogenesis of BD. Relatives of probands with BD who are at familial risk can exhibit brain abnormalities prior to illness onset. Given its involvement in prefrontal cognitive control and in frontolimbic circuitry that regulates emotional reactivity, the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) has been a focus of research in studies of BD-related pathology and BD-risk mechanism. In this review, we...
- Investigation of white matter functional networks underlying different behavioral profiles in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorderby Xuan Bu on April 26, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: We discovered a dual pattern of white matter network activity in drug-naïve ADHD boys, with hyperactive symptom-related networks and hypoactive cognitive networks. These findings characterize two distinct types of WMFN in ADHD psychopathology.
- Neurobiological mechanisms and related clinical treatment of addiction: a reviewby Yehong Fang on April 26, 2024
Drug addiction or substance use disorder (SUD), has been conceptualized as a three-stage (i.e. binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation/craving) recurring cycle that involves complex changes in neuroplasticity, reward, motivation, desire, stress, memory, and cognitive control, and other related brain regions and brain circuits. Neuroimaging approaches, including magnetic resonance imaging, have been key to mapping neurobiological changes correlated to...
