Introduction: Modern functional neuroimaging techniques permit the analysis of the simultaneous activation of diverse brain areas to suggest cognitive connectivity models related to specific cognitive functions.
Aim: To analyze the functional networks of the angular gyrus (Brodmann area 39) related to language functions.
Materials And Methods: The database of BrainMap was used to analyze the activation coordinates of the angular gyrus and brain related areas while performing different language tasks. Eight articles were selected that included 13 experiments, 155 participants and 265 loci.
Results: Sixteen activation clusters made a network that included the activation of the two angular gyri, the superior right parietal lobe and right supramarginal gyri; the superior left temporal lobe (middle lateral and medial inferior), and the frontal lobe (bilateral premotor and left prefrontal).
Conclusions: Our findings are in agreement with previous findings using structural connectivity techniques and support the integrative role of the angular gyrus in language functions.

Infective Endocarditis With Origin in Orbital Vascular Malformation and Maxillary Sinusitis: A Case Report and Review of Four Patients in the Literature.

Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening disease and the early diagnosis is crucial for a better outcome. We report an old adult who developed infective endocarditis in association with new-onset maxillary sinusitis as well as proptosis, which was caused by an orbital mass lesion in the background of pre-existing orbital vascular malformation. A 74-year-old woman was found incidentally to have right orbital vascular (venous) malformation by head magnetic resonance imaging when she was hospitalized for left dorsal pontine infarction.

Background: This study aimed to explore the neural mechanisms underlying gender differences in recognizing emotional expressions conveyed through body language. Utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, we examined the impact of gender on neural responses through time-frequency analysis and network analysis to uncover gender disparities in bodily emotion recognition.
Methods: The study included 34 participants, consisting of 18 males and 16 females.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to modulate spatial attention by enhancing the activity in one hemisphere relative to the other. This study aims to inform neurorehabilitation strategies for spatial attention disorders by investigating the impact of tDCS on the performance of healthy participants. Unlike prior research that focused on visual detection, we extended the investigation to visual search and visual imagery using computerized neuropsychological tests.

Unlike the conventional, embodied, and embrained whole-body movements in the sagittal forward and vertical axes, movements in the lateral/transversal axis cannot be unequivocally grounded, embodied, or embrained. When considering motor imagery for left and right directions, it is assumed that participants have underdeveloped representations due to a lack of familiarity with moving along the lateral axis. In the current study, a 32 electroencephalography (EEG) system was used to identify the oscillatory neural signature linked with lateral axis motor imagery.

The correlational structure of brain activity dynamics in the absence of stimuli or behavior is often taken to reveal intrinsic properties of neural function. To test the limits of this assumption, we analyzed peripheral contributions to resting state activity measured by fMRI in unanesthetized, chemically immobilized male rats that emulate human neuroimaging conditions. We find that perturbation of somatosensory input channels modifies correlation strengths that relate somatosensory areas both to one another and to higher-order brain regions, despite the absence of ostensible stimuli or movements.
