We encountered two patients with lesions predominantly localized to the left precentral cortex who presented with speech disorders. Patient 1 had a lesion localized to the anterior part of the left precentral cortex along the precentral sulcus, in the middle part of the convexity. Patient 1 predominantly exhibited disturbance of prosody. Patient 2 had a lesion localized to the left precentral cortex, located slightly more posterior and more inferior in the convexity. Patient 2 predominantly exhibited disturbance of articulation, with distortion of sounds without apparent inconsistency. Even lesions localized to the left precentral cortex present with various types of speech disturbance.

Background: Understanding brain changes in older patients with depression and their relationship with cognitive abilities may aid in the diagnosis of depression in this population. This study aimed to explore the association between brain lesions and cognitive performance in older patients with depression.
Methods: We utilized magnetic resonance imaging data from a previous study, which included older adults with and without depression.

This study explored the differences in brain activation between individuals with and without Internet gaming disorder (IGD) through activation likelihood estimation analysis. In total, 39 studies were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria by searching the literature in the PubMed and Web of Science databases, as well as reading other reviews. The analysis revealed that the activated brain regions in IGD were the right inferior frontal gyrus, left cingulate gyrus, and left lentiform nucleus.

The dual task cost of gait (DTC) is an accessible and cost-effective test that can help identify individuals with cognitive decline and dementia. However, its neural substrate has not been widely described. This study aims to investigate the neural substrate of the high DTC in older adults across the spectrum of cognitive decline.

Mental Health Center and Psychiatric Laboratory, the State Key Laboratory of Biotherapy, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, No. 37 GuoXue Xiang, Chengdu, 610041, P. R. China.
Background: The high comorbidity and symptom overlap of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD), has led to the study of their shared and disorder-specific neural substrates. However, the morphometric similarity network (MSN) differences among these disorders remain unknown.
Methods: MSN derived from T1-weighted images in patients of GAD, PTSD, and SAD, and health controls (HC) using a Siemens 3T magnetic resonance imaging system.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the changes in brain network activity, specifically the default mode network (DMN), frontoparietal network (FPN), and cerebellar network (CN), in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) after they received vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
- Fifteen patients underwent resting-state fMRI scans, with the data analyzed to compare brain activity before and after VNS, revealing both increases and decreases in various brain regions associated with DMN, FPN, and CN.
- The findings indicate that VNS leads to distinct activity changes in the brain networks related to sensorimotor, language, memory, and emotion, but the differences in activity in the
