Disrupted brain networks underlying high-fidelity memory retrieval in subjective cognitive decline: A task-based fMRI study.

Introduction: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is linked to memory complaints and disruptions in certain brain regions identified by molecular imaging and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies. However, it remains unclear how these regions interact to contribute to both subjective and potential objective memory issues in SCD.

Methods: To address this gap, task-based imaging studies are essential.

Compensation or Preservation? Different Roles of Functional Lateralization in Speech Perception of Older Non-musicians and Musicians.

Musical training can counteract age-related decline in speech perception in noisy environments. However, it remains unclear whether older non-musicians and musicians rely on functional compensation or functional preservation to counteract the adverse effects of aging. This study utilized resting-state functional connectivity (FC) to investigate functional lateralization, a fundamental organization feature, in older musicians (OM), older non-musicians (ONM), and young non-musicians (YNM).

Sex-related human brain asymmetry in hemispheric functional gradients.

The left and right hemispheres of the human brain are two connected but relatively independent functional modules; they show multidimensional asymmetries ranging from particular local brain unit properties to entire hemispheric connectome topology. To date, however, it remains largely unknown whether and how hemispheric functional hierarchical structures differ between hemispheres. In the present study, we adopted a newly developed resting-state (rs) functional connectivity (FC)-based gradient approach to evaluate hemispheric functional hierarchical structures and their asymmetries in right-handed healthy young adults.

Functional Integration Between the Two Brain Hemispheres: Evidence From the Homotopic Functional Connectivity Under Resting State.

Functional integration among neural units is one of the fundamental principles in brain organization that could be examined using resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC). Interhemispheric functional integration plays a critical role in human cognition. Homotopic functional connectivity (HoFC) under resting state provide an avenue to investigate functional integration between the two brain hemispheres, which can improve the present understanding of how interhemispheric interactions affect cognitive processing.

A resting-state fMRI study in borderline personality disorder combining amplitude of low frequency fluctuation, regional homogeneity and seed based functional connectivity.

Background: This resting-state fMRI study investigated thebrain function in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) with three data-driven algorithms.

Methods: Forty BPD patients and thirty-five controls were enrolled and scanned with a 3.0T Philips Ingenia scanner.

Event-Related Potentials Altered in Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder during Working Memory Tasks.

Whereas some studies have demonstrated impaired working memory (WM) among patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), these findings have not been consistent. Furthermore, there is a lack of neurophysiological evidence about WM function in patients with BPD. The goal of this study was to examine WM function in patients with BPD by using event-related potentials (ERPs).

A Voxel-Based Morphometric MRI Study in Young Adults with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Background: Increasing evidence has documented subtle changes in brain morphology and function in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, results of magnetic resonance imaging volumetry in patients with BPD are inconsistent. In addition, few researchers using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) have focused on attachment and childhood trauma in BPD.

The psychometric properties of the Cognitive-Somatic Anxiety Questionnaire in Chinese undergraduate students and clinical patients.

Background: The present study was conducted to develop a Chinese version of the 14-item Cognitive-Somatic Anxiety Questionnaire (CSAQ) and examine its psychometric properties.

Methods: The original English version of the CSAQ was first translated into Chinese and then backtranslated and modified until cross-language equivalence was established. This version was then completed by 2168 undergraduate students and 289 clinical patients with mental disorder in China.
