All participants completed the Social Affective Forecasting task and underwent resting-state fMRI scanning. Compared with the LTA group, the HTA group anticipated lower levels of arousal for future positive events but showed comparable performance for anticipated valence for future positive events. Moreover, the HTA group demonstrated intact performance in reporting anticipated valence and anticipated arousal for future negative events. In addition, the HTA group demonstrated increased functional connectivity between the left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and left lingual gyrus relative to the LTA group. Besides, the HTA group also showed increased functional connectivity between the dorsal anterior insula and right posterior cingulate cortex compared to the LTA group. No significant associations were found between the altered functional connectivity and affective forecasting performance. Increased functional connectivity observed in the HTA group suggested that HTA individuals may devote more efforts when anticipating future events, to maintain intact in anticipating valence for future events.","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143771307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve meaningful RSNs were identified from 22 ulcerative colitis patients and 23 healthy controls using independent component analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Correlation analyses were performed between clinical indices, neuropsychological assessments and neuroimaging data. Compared with healthy controls, UC patients showed increased intranetwork FC, mainly located in the right temporal pole, orbitofrontal cortex, and left superior temporal and Rolandic opercular cortices within the auditory network. Increased intranetwork FC in the Rolandic opercular cortex was also observed in UC patients during remission phase, while no significant alterations were detected in patients with active-phase UC. In addition, UC patients exhibited increased connectivity between the dorsal attention and the left frontoparietal network, as well as between the anterior default mode network and the posterior default mode network, with distinct patterns of internetwork connectivity observed across different clinical phases. No significant correlations were found between altered brain regions and psychological scales in UC patients. These findings imply that UC patients may undergo functional network alterations, affecting both intranetwork connectivity within RSNs and internetwork connectivity between RSNs.","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent genetic studies showed that gene expression has a crucial effect on both brain functions and behavioral social performance. However, studies still lack a clear understanding of the organization of the social gene expression (SocGene) network. This study aimed to distinguish the difference between the SocGene network and the social brain network (SBN) and further explored their deficits in schizophrenia (SCZ) patients. The SocGene network was constructed by generating the gene expression maps of six social neuropeptide receptors from the Allen Human Brain Atlas. Then, we recruited a general population sample of 37 participants and a clinical sample including 26 SCZ and 25 Healthy controls (HCs) successively to construct the resting-state SocGene and SBN at the individual level. The integration (global efficiency, GE) and segregation (local efficiency, LE) of these brain networks were calculated using the graphic analysis. Results showed that the GE and LE of the SocGene network were significantly higher than those of the SBN in both two cohorts. The SCZ patients showed significantly diminished LE of the two brain networks compared to HCs, especially in the SocGene network. These findings implied that the SocGene network strengthened the integration and segregation compared to the SBN. SCZ patients mainly exhibited deficits in the segregation of these two brain networks. The current findings provide a new perspective on combining genetic expression and brain function in understanding the psychopathology of social functioning.","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"534-542"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143566160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We systematically reviewed post-mortem histological studies evaluating myelin density, axonal loss, and gliosis using quantitative imaging in MS. Relevant studies were identified through searches in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. A total of 38 studies involving 1782 regions of interest from 229 subjects were included. Pooled random-effects models were used to calculate the correlation between demyelination, axonal loss, gliosis, and various MRI parameters, including magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), T1 and T2 relaxation times, myelin water fraction (MWF), proton density (PD), and diffusivities. Pair-wise analyses compared results between lesioned and non-lesioned tissues. Our results demonstrated moderate to strong correlations between MRI parameters and myelin density in MS, with correlation coefficients: T1 (0.72), T2 (0.72), MTR (-0.73), FA (-0.73), RD (0.70), MD (0.70), MWF (-0.82), and PD (0.73). Interestingly, stronger correlations were found in lesioned tissues compared to non-lesioned tissues (P < 0.001). Moderate correlations were found between MRI parameters and axonal loss and gliosis. Our study reveals significant correlations between MRI techniques and histological assessments of myelin, axonal damage, and gliosis in MS. MRI metrics exhibited a more robust association with demyelination in lesioned areas than in non-lesioned brain tissue, highlighting the pronounced degree of myelin degradation in MS lesions. Further investigation is warranted to corroborate these results and refine MRI-based monitoring of MS pathology.","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"323-335"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143051704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The longitudinal analysis showed decreased FC between the left DA and left caudate, left middle frontal gyrus, while increased FC between the right MA and posterior central gyrus in StD individuals after exercise intervention. As for HCs, the DA showed FC differences with the insula, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and thalamus. The MA showed FC differences with the central posterior gyrus, occipital lobe and thalamus. The VA showed FC differences with the calcarine cortex and parietal lobe.

A total of 499 individuals with MCI were recruited based on ADNI's clinical criteria. Cognitive function was assessed using the ADAS-Cog scale, and hippocampal volumes were measured through MRI using semi-automated Medtronic Surgical Navigation Technologies (SNT). Tryptophan levels in plasma were analyzed using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based assay. This study used two models: One unadjusted and another adjusted for covariates such as age, gender, handedness, and ApoE ɛ3 and ɛ4. In both models, higher tryptophan levels were significantly associated with increased bilateral hippocampal volumes, with a stronger effect in the left hippocampus. Furthermore, larger hippocampal volumes were linked to improved cognitive performance. Mediation analysis showed that hippocampal volumes mediated the relationship between plasma tryptophan levels and cognitive function. These findings suggested that elevated plasma tryptophan levels support cognitive health by maintaining hippocampal structural integrity, underscoring its potential role in preserving cognitive function in individuals with MCI.","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"485-496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143539432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
