Research suggests that specific microbiome components are important for brain development and function, with recent studies demonstrating that chronic pain results in changes to the microbiome. Consumption of a high fat, high sugar (HFHS) diet can drastically alter composition of the microbiome and is a modifiable risk factor for many neuroinflammatory conditions. Therefore, we investigated how daily consumption of a HFHS diet modified the development of PPSP, brain structure and function, and the microbiome. In addition, we identified significant correlations between the microbiome and brain in animals with PPSP. Male and female rats were maintained on a control or HFHS diet. Animals were further allocated to a sham or surgery on postnatal day (p) p35. The von Frey task measured mechanical nociceptive sensitivity at a chronic timepoint (p65–67). Between p68–72 rats underwent <em>in-vivo</em> MRI to examine brain volume and diffusivity. At p73 fecal samples were used for downstream 16 s rRNA sequencing. Spearman correlation analyses were performed between individual microbial abundance and MRI diffusivity to determine if specific bacterial species were associated with PPSP-induced brain changes. We found that consumption of a HFHS diet exacerbated PPSP in adolescents. The HFHS diet reduced overall brain volume and increased white and grey matter density. The HFHS diet interacted with the surgical intervention to modify diffusivity in numerous brain regions which were associated with specific changes to the microbiome. These findings demonstrate that premorbid characteristics can influence the development of PPSP and advance our understanding of the contribution that the microbiome has on function of the brain-microbiota-gut axis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19299,"journal":{"name":"NeuroImage","volume":"307 ","pages":"Article 121057"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its reliability is hindered by a low reproducibility of results. Among other factors, such low reproducibility is due to structural and functional variability between individual brains. Informing stimulation protocols with individual neuroimaging data could mitigate this issue, ensuring accurate targeting of structural brain areas and functional brain states in a subject-by-subject fashion. However, this process poses a set of theoretical and technical challenges. We focus on the problem of online functional targeting, which requires collecting electroencephalography (EEG) data, extracting brain states, and using them to trigger TMS in real time. This stream of operations introduces hardware and software delays in the real time set-up, such that brain states of interest may vanish before TMS delivery. To compensate for delays, it is necessary to process the EEG signal in real time, forecast it, and instruct TMS devices to target forecasted – rather than measured – brain states. Recently, this approach has been adopted successfully in a number of studies, opening interesting opportunities for personalised brain stimulation treatments. However, little has been done to explore and overcome the limitations of current forecasting methods. After reviewing the state of the art in brain state-dependent stimulation, we will discuss two broad classes of forecasting methods and their suitability for application to EEG time series. Subsequently, we will review the evidence in favour of data-driven forecasting and discuss its potential contributions to TMS methodology and the scientific understanding of brain dynamics, highlighting the transformative potential of big open datasets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19299,"journal":{"name":"NeuroImage","volume":"307 ","pages":"Article 121050"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dual process model proposes that spontaneous thinking and deliberate thinking drive the dwell in and the transitions between different mental states during creative thinking, but there is a debate over whether the two types of thinking operate in parallel or in sequence. To address these gaps, we conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in 41 college students during a creative storytelling task. We then compared the dynamic brain states in creative versus uncreative storytelling to identify key brain states associated with creative thinking. And we further performed correlation analysis between these key brain states with performance of various creative tasks, trying to link the key brain states with different cognitive processes. The results showed that two key brain states are associated with creative thinking, with one involving whole-brain synchronization and the other involving the synchronization of four networks, including the default mode network and the control network. The transition patterns between the key brain states provide tentative evidence for dynamic circulation between different mental states during creative storytelling. Using a deep learning approach, we demonstrate an alternating interaction between spontaneous and deliberate thinking, driving dwelling in and the transitions between different brain states.

However, physics-based reconstructions are prone to various artifacts such as noise amplification and boundary artifact. Deep learning-based approaches are robust to these artifacts but need extensive training datasets and suffer from generalization to unseen data. To address these issues, we introduce a joint three-plane physics-constrained deep learning framework for polynomial fitting MR-EPT by merging physics-based weighted polynomial fitting with deep learning. Within this framework, deep learning is used to discern the optimal polynomial fitting weights for a physics based polynomial fitting reconstruction on the complex <span><math><msubsup><mi>B</mi><mn>1</mn><mo>+</mo></msubsup></math></span> data. For the prediction of optimal fitting coefficients, three neural networks were separately trained on simulated heterogeneous brain models to predict optimal polynomial weighting parameters in three orthogonal planes. Then, the network weights were jointly optimized to estimate the polynomial weights in each plane for a combined conductivity reconstruction. Based on this physics-constrained deep learning approach, we achieved an improvement of conductivity estimation accuracy in comparison to a single plane estimation and a reduction of computational load. The results demonstrate that the proposed method based on 3D data exhibits superior performance in comparison to conventional polynomial fitting methods in terms of capturing anatomical detail and homogeneity. Crucially, in-vivo application of the proposed method showed that the method generalizes well to in-vivo data, without introducing significant errors or artifacts.

The current study uses 7T MRI to investigate the effect of perinatal deafness on the volumes of subcortical structures in felines, focusing on key sensory nuclei within the brainstem and thalamus. Using both ROI-based and morphometric approaches, the regional macrostructure of four auditory and two visual nuclei were studied, as well as the corresponding volumetric asymmetries within and across groups. In the auditory pathway, significant bilateral volumetric reductions were revealed within the lower-level structures (cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complex, and inferior colliculus), alongside a shrinkage of solely the left medial geniculate body. Within the visual pathway, a significant bilateral volumetric reduction was found in the lateral geniculate nucleus, with the superior colliculus largely unaffected. These regional alterations, along with an extensive loss of volume throughout the brainstem of deprived cats, were attributed to disuse-driven atrophy corresponding to evolved functional demands reflective of a modified perceptual environment. Furthermore, the left-right volumetric symmetries of the control subcortex were preserved following deafness. Overall, the current study reinforces the notion that subcortical structures likely contribute to compensatory crossmodal plasticity prior to cortical processing, and that these deafness-induced adaptations appear to be influenced by both the level of the affected structure within its respective sensory processing hierarchy and the specifics of its afferent profile.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19299,"journal":{"name":"NeuroImage","volume":"308 ","pages":"Article 121047"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143039974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
