The density of dendrite spines was decreased progressively during development. The lowest levels of NR2A, NR2B and PSD95 were detected in adolescent rats. Importantly, it was found that the expression levels of autophagy markers were the highest during adolescent compared to that in other developmental stages. Moreover, there were more co-localization of autophagosome and PSD95 in adolescent rats.

However, the potential association between acupuncture sensation, an important factor influencing treatment efficacy, and brain functional network is unclear. This research sought to reveal and quantify the changes in brain functional network associated with acupuncture sensation. So multi-channel EEG signals were collected from 30 healthy participants and the Massachusetts General Hospital Acupuncture Sensation Scale (MASS) was utilized to assess their needling sensations. Phase Lag Index (PLI) was used to construct the brain functional network, which was analyzed with graph theoretic methods. It showed that in the needle insertion (NI) state the MASS Index was significantly higher than in the needle retention (NR) state (<i>P</i> < 0.001), and the mean values of PLI were also higher than in the Pre-Rest state and NR state significantly (<i>P</i> < 0.01). In the NI state global efficiency, local efficiency, nodal efficiency, and degree centrality were significantly higher than in the Pre-Rest state and the NR state (<i>P</i> < 0.05), while the opposite is true for the shortest path length (<i>P</i> < 0.01). Then Pearson correlation analysis showed a correlation between MASS Index and graph theory metrics (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Finally, Support Vector Regression (SVR) was used to predict the MASS Index with a minimum mean absolute error of 0.65. These findings suggest that the NI state of acupuncture treatment changes the structure of the brain functional network and affects the graph theory metrics of the brain functional network, which may be an objective biomarker for quantitative evaluation of acupuncture sensation.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11571-025-10233-1.</p>","PeriodicalId":10500,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neurodynamics","volume":"19 1","pages":"49"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11910458/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143647571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To alleviate the high degree of heterogeneity among patients, several works have attempted to learn common seizure feature distributions based on the idea of domain adaptation to enhance the generalization ability of the model. However, existing methods ignore the inherent inter-patient discrepancy within the source patients, resulting in disjointed distributions that impede effective domain alignment. To eliminate this effect, we introduce the concept of multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA), considering each source patient as a separate domain. To avoid additional model complexity from MSDA, we propose a continuous domain adaptation approach for seizure prediction based on the convolutional neural network (CNN), which performs sequential training on multiple source domains. To relieve the model catastrophic forgetting during sequential training, we replay similar samples from each source domain, while learning common feature representations based on subdomain alignment. Evaluated on a publicly available epilepsy dataset, our proposed method attains a sensitivity of 85.0% and a false alarm rate (FPR) of 0.224/h.

Investigating these brain states provides valuable insights into the brain's temporal and spatial dynamics. In this study, we designed an experiment paradigm to efficiently simulate lying and constructed a temporal network of brain states. We applied the Louvain community clustering algorithm to identify characteristic brain states associated with lie-telling, inverse-telling, and truth-telling. Our analysis revealed six representative brain states with unique spatial characteristics. Notably, two distinct states-termed <i>truth-preferred</i> and <i>lie-preferred</i>-exhibited significant differences in fractional occupancy and average dwelling time. The truth-preferred state showed higher occupancy and dwelling time during truth-telling, while the lie-preferred state demonstrated these characteristics during lie-telling. Using the average z-score BOLD signals of these two states, we applied generalized linear models with elastic net regularization, achieving a classification accuracy of 88.46%, with a sensitivity of 92.31% and a specificity of 84.62% in distinguishing deception from truth-telling. These findings revealed representative brain states for lie-telling, inverse-telling, and truth-telling, highlighting two states specifically associated with truthful and deceptive behaviors.
