Introduction: The associations between gray matter (GM) change and neurotransmitter systems in hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis (HBV-RC) are still poorly understood.
Methods: We recruited 60 HBV-RC patients and 60 healthy controls (HCs). Difference of GM volume between HBV-RC and HC groups was evaluated at global and voxel levels.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the multilevel impairments of brain structural network in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE).
Methods: Twenty-two patients with MHE and 22 well-matched healthy controls (HC) underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans and neuropsychological evaluations. Individual brain structural networks were constructed using diffusion tensor imaging.
Depression is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is correlated with the severity of motor deficits and quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate alterations in the structural brain network related to depression in Parkinson's disease (d-PD) and their correlations with structural impairments of white matter (WM). Data were acquired from the Parkinson Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database.
