The impact of brain functional connectivity on skill and physical performance in soccer players: A resting state fMRI study.

Objective: Identifying connections between various aspects of physical performance, motor skills, and cognitive abilities with the brain connectivity networks is essential for determining important brain regions associated with soccer performance. This study aimed to carry out the relationship between soccer-specific parameters and resting-state functional connectivity in soccer players.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five soccer players (Vo2max; 50.

Rest Tremor in Parkinson's Disease Is Associated with Ipsilateral Striatal Dopamine Transporter Binding.

Background: The cardinal motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) include rigidity, bradykinesia, and rest tremor. Rigidity and bradykinesia correlate with contralateral nigrostriatal degeneration and striatal dopamine deficit, but association between striatal dopamine function and rest tremor has remained unclear.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible link between dopamine function and rest tremor using Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative dataset, the largest prospective neuroimaging cohort of patients with PD.

Multi-Source Data Integration for Segmentation of Unannotated MRI Images.

Automatic semantic segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images using deep neural networks greatly assists in evaluating and planning treatments for various clinical applications. However, training these models is conditioned on the availability of abundant annotated data. Even if we annotate enough data, MRI images display considerable variability due to factors such as differences among patients, MRI scanners, and imaging protocols.

A WORLDWIDE ENIGMA STUDY ON EPILEPSY-RELATED GRAY AND WHITE MATTER COMPROMISE ACROSS THE ADULT LIFESPAN.

Objectives: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is commonly associated with mesiotemporal pathology and widespread alterations of grey and white matter structures. Evidence supports a progressive condition although the temporal evolution of TLE is poorly defined. This ENIGMA-Epilepsy study utilized multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to investigate structural alterations in TLE patients across the adult lifespan.
