The performances of all models were evaluated in the internal and external test sets. The AUC of radiomics model was larger than that of non-radiomics model with the same machine learning algorithm in the three mask types. The radiomics model using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-random forest algorithm combination gained the smallest AUC rank-sum among all the algorithm combinations. The AUC of the model with ADC620 was 0.98 in the internal test set and 0.91 in the external test set, and the weighted average AUC in the three sets was 0.96, the largest among three mask types.

The neural underpinnings of this ability, known as syntactic comprehension, are far from agreed upon in current neurocognitive models of language comprehension. Traditionally, left frontal regions (e.g. left posterior inferior frontal gyrus) were considered critical, while more recently, left temporal regions (most prominently, left posterior middle temporal gyrus) have been identified as more indispensable to syntactic comprehension. Syntactic processing has been investigated by using different types of non-canonical sentences i.e. those that do not follow prototypical word order and are considered more syntactically complex. However, non-canonical sentences can be complex for different linguistic reasons, and thus, their comprehension might rely on different neural underpinnings. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the neural correlates of syntactic comprehension by investigating the roles of left hemisphere brain regions and white matter pathways in processing sentences with different levels of syntactic complexity. Participants were assessed at a single point in time using structural MRI and behavioural tests. Employing lesion-symptom mapping and indirect structural disconnection mapping in a cohort of 131 left hemisphere stroke survivors, our analysis revealed the following left temporal regions and underlying white matter pathways as crucial for general sentence comprehension: the left mid-posterior superior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus and superior temporal sulcus and the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, the middle longitudinal fasciculus, the uncinate fasciculus and the tracts crossing the most posterior part of the corpus callosum. We further found significant involvement of different white matter tracts connecting the left temporal and frontal lobes for different sentence types. Spared connections between the left temporal and frontal regions were critical for the comprehension of non-canonical sentences requiring long-distance retrieval (spared superior longitudinal fasciculus for both subject and object extraction and spared arcuate fasciculus for object extraction) but not for comprehension of non-canonical passive sentences and canonical declarative sentences. Our results challenge traditional language models that emphasize the primary role of the left frontal regions, such as Broca's area, in basic sentence structure comprehension. Our findings suggest a gradient of syntactic complexity, rather than a clear-cut dichotomy between canonical and non-canonical sentence structures. Our findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the neural architecture of language comprehension and highlight potential directions for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":93915,"journal":{"name":"Brain communications","volume":"6 6","pages":"fcae379"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11565230/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142649589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although cognitive impairments are prevalent in these conditions, some children maintain cognitive function despite substantial structural injury. These findings raise an important question: in addition to the degenerative process, do compensatory neural mechanisms exist to mitigate the effects of myelin loss? We propose that a multi-dimensional approach integrating multiple neuroimaging modalities, including diffusion tensor imaging, magnetoencephalography and eye-tracking, is key to investigating this question. We examine the structural and functional connectivity of the default mode and executive control networks due to their significant roles in supporting higher-order cognitive processes. As cognitive proxies, we examine saccade reaction times and direction errors during an interleaved pro- (eye movement towards a target) and anti-saccade (eye movement away from a target) task. 28 typically developing children, 18 children with multiple sclerosis and 14 children with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disorders between 5 and 18.9 years old were scanned at the Hospital for Sick Children. Tractography of diffusion MRI data examined structural connectivity. Intracellular and extracellular microstructural parameters were extracted using a white matter tract integrity model to provide specific inferences on myelin and axon structure. Magnetoencephalography scanning was conducted to examine functional connectivity. Within groups, participants had longer saccade reaction times and greater direction errors on the anti- versus pro-saccade task; there were no group differences on either task. Despite similar behavioural performance, children with demyelinating disorders had significant structural compromise and lower bilateral high gamma, higher left-hemisphere theta and higher right-hemisphere alpha synchrony relative to typically developing children. Children diagnosed with multiple sclerosis had greater structural compromise relative to children with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disorders; there were no group differences in neural synchrony. For both patient groups, increased disease disability predicted greater structural compromise, which predicted longer saccade reaction times and greater direction errors on both tasks. Structural compromise also predicted increased functional connectivity, highlighting potential adaptive functional reorganisation in response to structural compromise. In turn, increased functional connectivity predicted faster saccade reaction times and fewer direction errors. These findings suggest that increased functional connectivity, indicated by increased alpha and theta synchrony, may be necessary to compensate for structural compromise and preserve cognitive abilities.
