The current study uses machine learning to build a model of risk prediction and transition based on multi-modal neuroimaging, clinical, and behavioral data from youth at transdiagnostic risk. Participants aged 12-25 were recruited at two sites in Canada, and followed for 4 years. Symptom severity was measured using the Scale of Psychosis-Risk Symptoms (SOPS) and K10 Distress Scale, and a range of cognitive and behavioral measures were collected, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Participants were assigned to one of 5 groups: healthy controls (HC; n = 42), familial risk (stage 0; n = 40), mild symptoms (stage 1a; n = 48), attenuated syndromes (stage 1b; n = 82), or discrete disorder (transition; n = 31). Constrained spherical deconvolution was used to generate whole brain tractography maps from diffusion MRI, which were then used to calculate connectivity matrices for graph theory analysis. Graph theory was also used to analyze correlations of functional MRI signal between pairs of brain regions. All measures were evaluated in a model to predict transition between groups. Random Forest analysis identified diffusion MRI-derived nodal metrics of betweenness centrality in the angular gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, amygdala and calcarine fissure as potential features which can discriminate between the groups. Additionally, SOPS and K10 Distress Scales were useful behavioral predictors of transdiagnostic risk.

We assessed the relationship between estradiol level and task-modulated effective connectivity between brain regions during an episodic memory task in females during midlife. We utilized data from the Human Connectome Project - Aging 2.0 release. One hundred and fifty female participants between 40 and 55 years of age were included in our analysis of the relationship between estradiol and connectivity. Pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal participants were included to capture a range of estradiol levels present during midlife. We assessed connectivity during the fMRI FaceName task utilizing Conn Toolbox on a connection level as a pairwise comparison between regions. Five connections associated with estradiol were significant during the recall portion of the FaceName task at a p<.05 FDR corrected level after controlling for age. Significant connections among the superior frontal gyrus left and brain stem and the middle temporal gyrus anterior division right and superior temporal gyrus posterior division right were identified. Negative associations between these regions were also present. There was no significant relationship between estradiol and FaceName task performance. Our results indicated that task-modulated effective connectivity was related to estradiol level during midlife in females between brain regions known to be important for memory functioning during the recall portion of an episodic memory task.

We assessed cognitive function, social adaptation, and quality of life. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were analyzed using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations and seed-based functional connectivity to investigate local spontaneous activity and network-level integration. Participants with sports experience demonstrated enhanced performance in several cognitive tasks and higher social adaptation scores than those without experience. Neuroimaging analyses revealed increased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations in the right middle frontal gyrus in the team-sport group. Furthermore, exploratory functional connectivity analysis showed reduced coupling between the right middle frontal gyrus and posterior sensory-visual regions, including the postcentral gyrus, lateral occipital cortex, and occipital fusiform gyrus. These findings suggest that lifetime sports engagement may be associated with differences in cognitive and psychosocial functioning, together with a tentative pattern of resting-state brain variation. Although the observed connectivity pattern may be broadly consistent with accounts of functional specialization or neural efficiency, the principal ALFF finding did not survive correction for multiple comparisons.

We aimed to measure hippocampal subfield volumes and their links with memory performances before and after chemotherapy in breast cancer patients compared to healthy controls. Forty-two middle aged women were evaluated, including 19 patients assessed before (T1), one-month (T2) and one-year (T3) after chemotherapy, and 23 controls assessed at T1 and T3. Using high-resolution MRI, hippocampal subfields were automatically segmented. Derived volumetric measures were compared between groups at T1 and T3 and within the patient group (T1, T2, T3). Both encoding and retrieval memory performances were measured using a dedicated task. At T1 and globally (i.e., T1 and T3 together), patients showed lower retrieval performance and larger subiculum and whole hippocampal volumes compared to controls. Volumes of the whole hippocampus and of the Cornu Ammonis (CA) 4-Dentate gyrus increased over time in controls. Longitudinal comparisons within the patients' group did not yield significant changes. Volumes were negatively associated with age in controls, and positively with education level in patients. Our results highlight structural differences in the subiculum and whole hippocampus of breast cancer patients both post-surgery and over the adjuvant treatment course. These modifications may reflect a combination of cancer-related and early perioperative factors, while the lack of subsequent longitudinal changes in patients prevents conclusions regarding the specific impact of chemotherapy.
