Additionally, FC was enhanced between the SMN and the auditory network (AN), attention network (ATN), and salience network (SAN); between the DMN and the visual network (VN) and ECN; and between two independent components of the DMN. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between altered FC and speech assessment scores.

Dysregulation of the LC-NE system is strongly linked with several stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders, highlighting the LC's pivotal role in the development of these disorders. Located in the dorsal pontine tegmental area, the LC contains noradrenergic neurons that serve as the main source of NE in the central nervous system. Activation of the LC and subsequent release of NE at different levels of the neuroaxis is adaptive, allowing the body to adjust appropriately amid a challenging stimulus. However, prolonged and repeated LC activation leads to maladaptive responses that implicate LC-NE dysfunction in stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. As the primary initiator of the stress response, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Following the discovery of CRF more than four decades ago, numerous studies established that CRF also acts as a neurotransmitter that governs the activity of other neurotransmitters in the brain neurotransmitter system. The LC-NE system receives abundant CRF afferents arising from several brain nuclei. CRF afferents to LC-NE are activated and recruited in the pathogenesis of stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. Presented in this review are the CRF neuroanatomical connectivity and physiological characteristics that modulate LC-NE function, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. Additionally, this review illustrates the contribution of LC-NE to the apparent sex-dependent differences in stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. Hence, the LC-NE system is a promising target for the development of therapeutic strategies for stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":11993,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Neuroscience","volume":"61 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejn.70111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is thus imperative that model users—researchers who develop models, use existing models, or integrate model-based findings into their own research—understand how these tools work and what factors need to be considered when engaging with them. To this end, we developed a philosophical toolkit that addresses core questions about computational cognitive models in the brain and behavioral sciences. Drawing on recent advances in the philosophy of modeling, we highlight the central role of model users' <i>reasoning goals</i> in the application and interpretation of formal models. We demonstrate the utility of this perspective by first offering a philosophical introduction to the highly popular drift diffusion model (DDM) and then providing a novel conceptual analysis of a long-standing debate about decision thresholds in the DDM. Contrary to most existing work, we suggest that the two model structures implicated in the debate offer complementary—rather than competing—explanations of speeded choice behavior. Further, we show how the <i>type</i> of explanation provided by each form of the model (parsimonious and normative) reflects the reasoning goals of the communities of users who developed them (cognitive psychometricians and theoretical decision scientists, respectively). We conclude our analysis by offering readers a principled heuristic for deciding which of the models to use, thus concretely demonstrating the conceptual and practical utility of philosophy for resolving meta-scientific challenges in the brain and behavioral sciences.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11993,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Neuroscience","volume":"61 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate whether PHIV-exposed infected and uninfected adolescents exhibit changes in glymphatic function and spontaneous brain activity that differ from their healthy, typically developing peers, and if these changes are associated with pathways involving related gene and receptor expression.

Further mediation analysis was conducted to delineate the interactive relationships among DTI-ALPS, whole-brain signal dynamics, and cognitive assessments.

During PAS + UMC intervention, participants performed right wrist flexion at 30% maximum voluntary contraction coinciding with stimulation. Results showed a significant increase in MEPs 30 min after PAS + UMC intervention, with enhanced increase under controlled attention.

SICI increased 30 min after PAS + UMC intervention, though the correlation between MEP and SICI observed in PAS intervention was absent in PAS + UMC intervention.

These are cell identification and analysis of marker coexpression. Although some programmes are available for the analysis of microscopy images, tools that support automated, yet flexible, image analysis are needed to reduce the workload of researchers. In this study, we have developed a user-friendly ImageJ/Fiji plugin that provides a semiautomated image analysis pipeline with a flexibility to reflect inputs from users. The plugin consists of three steps: segmentation of cells expressing each molecule, manual correction of cell segmentation if needed and molecule coexpression analysis. The output of the pipeline comprises Excel files containing the number of cells which express each molecule and/or combination of molecules and their signal intensities. It does so by automatizing the identification of region-of-interests (ROI) based on fluorescent signals and the process of counting cells expressing various combinations of these molecules in each zone the user is interested in. The automatization of localization of fluorescent signals relies on available deep learning networks and the analysis of coexpression from the ROIs is based on spatial analysis of ROIs.
