Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with functional and structural alterations beyond the nigrostriatal dopamine projection. However, the structural-functional (SC-FC) coupling changes in combination with subcortical regions at the network level are rarely investigated in PD.
Methods: SC-FC coupling networks were systematically constructed using the structural connectivity obtained by diffusion tensor imaging and the functional connectivity obtained by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in 53 PD and 72 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs).

Background: Accumulation of critically short telomeres (CST) is implicated in decreased tissular regenerative capacity and increased susceptibility to degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Telomere shortening has also been associated with age-related brain changes. However, it remains unclear whether CST accumulation is directly associated with AD markers or instead amplifies age-related effects, potentially increasing susceptibility of developing AD in cognitively healthy older adults.

Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating and heterogeneous disease. Many MDD patients experience concurrent anxiety symptoms, often referred to as anxious depression (MDD-ANX). The relationships between network alterations in structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) in MDD and its anxiety-related subtype remain areas that require further investigation.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with disrupted brain structural integration. Morphometric similarity offers a means to capture the coordinated patterns of various structural features. However, it remains unknown whether MDD-related changes can be detected in cortical morphometric similarity through the Morphometric Inverse Divergence (MIND) network.

Although prior studies have revealed alterations in gray matter volume (GMV) among individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD). The brain's multifaceted functions hinge crucially on the intricate connections and communication among distinct regions. However, the intricate interaction of information between brain regions with altered GMV and other regions, and how they synchronize with various neurotransmitter systems, remains enigmatic.
