3D Contrast Image Reconstruction From Human Brain Activity.

Several studies demonstrated that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals in early visual cortex can be used to reconstruct 2-dimensional (2D) visual contents. However, it remains unknown how to reconstruct 3-dimensional (3D) visual stimuli from fMRI signals in visual cortex. 3D visual stimuli contain 2D visual features and depth information.

Prognostic Significance of F-FDG PET/CT Metabolic Parameters and Tumor Galectin-1 Expression in Patients With Surgically Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Purpose: To study the prognostic significance of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) metabolic parameters and tumor galectin-1 (Gal-1) expression in patients surgically treated for lung adenocarcinoma.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 96 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery after F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively reviewed. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUV), metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis of the primary tumor were measured through PET/CT imaging.

Disparity level identification using the voxel-wise Gabor model of fMRI data.

Perceiving disparities is the intuitive basis for our understanding of the physical world. Although many electrophysiology studies have revealed the disparity-tuning characteristics of the neurons in the visual areas of the macaque brain, neuron population responses to disparity processing have seldom been investigated. Many disparity studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have revealed the disparity-selective visual areas in the human brain.

The dynamic characteristics of the anterior cingulate cortex in resting-state fMRI of patients with depression.

Background: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is part of the limbic system of the brain. It is a bridge between attentional and emotional processing, which is responsible for the integration of visceral, attentional, and affective information. Lesioning of the ACC, which produces striking changes, is used to treat major depression disorder (MDD).

Gender differences in dynamic functional connectivity based on resting-state fMRI.

Many neuroscience studies have found brain differences lead to the gender differences in behavior and cognitive ability. Functional connectivity is a common and effective measure to characterize brain. Most current studies based on fMRI functional connectivity basically assumed temporal stationarity across the duration of scanning, and thought that brain functional connectivity was constant in a certain period of time.

The Altered Triple Networks Interaction in Depression under Resting State Based on Graph Theory.

The triple network model (Menon, 2011) has been proposed, which helps with finding a common framework for understanding the dysfunction in core neurocognitive network across multiple disorders. The alteration of the triple networks in the major depression disorder (MDD) is not clear. In our study, the altered interaction of the triple networks, which include default model network (DMN), central executive network (CEN), and salience network (SN), was examined in the MDD by graph theory method.
