In this study, T1-weighted images were acquired for hearing (n = 38) and perinatally-deafened (n = 31) cats using an ultra-high field 7T MRI scanner to identify normative feline cortical thickness, as well as areas of differing thickness between groups.

Epidemiologic and animal studies have associated GWI with exposure to neurotoxic chemicals such as nerve agents, organophosphate pesticides and pyridostigmine bromide. One factor that hampers mechanistic investigations into GWI is that there is considerable heterogeneity in brain impairments across the ill GW veteran population. This could reflect the underlying heterogeneity in both exposure to neurotoxic substances, as well as genetic predisposition or resistance to neurotoxicity. Only one of the validated case definitions, the Haley GWI criteria addresses this heterogeneity. It does so by breaking down GWI into three main syndrome variants (GWS1, GWS2, and GWS3) based on factor analysis of symptoms presented by GWI veterans. Resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) is a uniquely useful brain imaging technique in that in a 10-min fMRI scan it can probe numerous brain function domains simultaneously. In this study, we employed a connectomics approach and machine learning on rsfMRI data from a cohort of GW veterans to extract neuroimaging biomarkers specific to each of the three Haley GWI syndromes. Our results revealed a number of new insights into brain function impairment specific to each syndrome group. The findings indicate that these deficits may by and large be driven by brain mechanisms. We also found that pooling the data of all three syndromes in GWI group, as is done by commonly employed case definitions of GWI resulted in failure to detect the fMRI signatures of a lot of these brain impairments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74277,"journal":{"name":"Neuroimage.

Clinicians may use non-invasive methods such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) to localize these cortical regions using equivalent current dipoles (ECDs). While dipoles are clinically validated, they provide the estimated strength, location, and orientation of only one or a few sources that best describe the recorded neuromagnetic data, requiring clinicians to make subjective decisions on the spatial extent of the underlying cortical area. More accurate delineation of eloquent cortical areas using distributed source localization methods would provide additional pre-surgical information on these regions’ location and spatial distribution, which could lead to reduced post-surgical complications associated with damage to or removal of eloquent cortices. Our objective in this paper was to present a method to post-process the distributed source localization results to yield a directly interpretable, distributed region of activation. As a test case, we selected somatosensory stimulation in a retrospective cohort of focal and multi-focal epilepsy patients. Our algorithm performs source localization using a distributed method (sLORETA), followed by post-processing and blind source separation to identify the area and boundary of the cortical tissue that primarily activates in response to somatosensory stimulation. We calculated the statistical significance of localization by comparing the identified region to an anatomical atlas and random chance. While examining patients who received left (upper left, UL) and right (upper right, UR) sided median nerve stimulation, the cortical areas identified by the algorithm were in anatomically appropriate areas with a median overlap of 97.6% and 94.7%, respectively. We observe that our algorithm localized somatosensory responses better than random chance in 57/58 (98%) patients who performed the UL task (<em>p</em> &lt; 10 × 10<sup>−10</sup>, binomial test) and 49/50 (98%) patients who performed the UR task (<em>p</em> &lt; 10 × 10<sup>−10</sup>, binomial test). We compared the localization of our algorithm to current clinical methods and found that our algorithm is not inferior to dipole localization. The algorithm can successfully localize somatosensory responses on the cortical surface in anatomically appropriate regions while providing the spatial extent of cortical activation, reducing subjectivity associated with dipole localization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74277,"journal":{"name":"Neuroimage.

The hypothalamus regulates the sleep-wake cycle and supports motivated behavior, and hypothalamic dysfunction may underpin comorbid nicotine dependence, depression and anxiety. We aimed to investigate whether and how the resting state functional connectivities (rsFCs) of the hypothalamus relate to cigarette smoking, deficient sleep, depression and anxiety.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>We used the data of 64 smokers and 198 age- and sex-matched adults who never smoked, curated from the Human Connectome Project. Deficient sleep and psychiatric problems were each assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Achenbach Adult Self-Report. We processed the imaging data with published routines and evaluated the results at a corrected threshold, all with age, sex, and the severity of alcohol use as covariates.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Smokers vs. never smokers showed poorer sleep quality and greater severity of depression and anxiety. In smokers only, the total PSQI score, indicating more sleep deficits, was positively associated with hypothalamic rsFCs with the right inferior frontal/insula/superior temporal and postcentral (rPoCG) gyri. Stronger hypothalamus-rPoCG rsFCs were also associated with greater severity of depression and anxiety in smokers but not never smokers. Additionally, in smokers, the PSQI score completely mediated the relationships of hypothalamus-rPoCG rsFCs with depression and anxiety severity.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>These findings associate hypothalamic circuit dysfunction to sleep deficiency and severity of depression and anxiety symptoms in adults who smoke. Future studies may investigate the roles of the hypothalamic circuit in motivated behaviors to better characterize the inter-related neural markers of smoking, deficient sleep, depression and anxiety.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74277,"journal":{"name":"Neuroimage.
