The prefrontal cortex is the superlative structure of brain that needs the longest developmental and maturational duration that highlights the region of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in neuroimaging studies. Prefrontal cortex functions generate enormously complex and its abundant feedback neurocircuitries with subcortical structures such as striatum and thalamus established through dual neural fibers. These microneurocircuitries are called corticostriatothalamocortical (CSTC) circuits. The CSTC circuits paly an essential role in flexible behaviors. The impaired circuits increase the risk of behavioral and psychological symptoms. ADHD is an especial developmental stage of paediatric disease. It has been reported that the CSTC circuits dysfunctions in ADHD are related to homologous symptoms. This study aimed to review the symptoms of ADHD and discuss the recent advances on the effects of the disease as well as the new progress of treatments with each circuit.

Tic disorders (TDs) include a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental conditions linked to dysfunction of the cortical-striatal-thalamic-cortical (CSTC) circuit. In this article, we report a case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with infrequent tics affecting the right eye and mouth. Brain imaging revealed a T2-weighted hyperintense mass in the left thalamus.

Communication of gut hormones with the central nervous system is important to regulate systemic glucose homeostasis, but the precise underlying mechanism involved remain little understood. Nesfatin-1, encoded by nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2), a potent anorexigenic peptide hormone, was found to be released from the gastrointestinal tract, but its specific function in this context remains unclear. Herein, we found that gut nesfatin-1 can sense nutrients such as glucose and lipids and subsequently decreases hepatic glucose production.

According to the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the striatum plays a primary role in its neuropathophysiology. Hypothesising that volumetric alterations are more pronounced in subcortical areas of patients within the CSTC circuit compared to healthy controls (HCs), we conducted a coordinate-based meta-analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. We included 26 whole-brain MRI studies, comprising 3,010 subjects: 1,508 patients (788 men, 720 women; mean age: 30.

Repeated bouts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) induce an improvement in metabolism via plasticity of melanocortin circuits and attenuated hypothalamic inflammation. HIF-1α, which plays a vital role in hypothalamus-mediated regulation of peripheral metabolism, is enhanced in the hypothalamus by HIIT. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HIIT on hypothalamic HIF-1α expression and peripheral metabolism in obese mice and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

In this paper, a novel 4H-SiC deep-trench super-junction MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) with a split-gate is proposed and theoretically verified by Sentaurus TCAD simulations. A deep trench filled with P-poly-Si combined with the P-SiC region leads to a charge balance effect. Instead of a full-SiC P region in conventional super-junction MOSFET, this new structure reduces the P region in a super-junction MOSFET, thus helping to lower the specific on-resistance.
