Article Synopsis
  • The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays a vital role in pain perception, emotion, and cognition, and is connected to various brain regions.
  • A study utilized a rabies virus-based tracing method and advanced imaging techniques to map connections to the ACC in adult mice, revealing new insights into its network.
  • The findings identified direct monosynaptic inputs from key brain structures, helping understand the anatomical basis of the ACC's role in pain, memory, and cognition.

To understand a visual scene, observers need to both recognize objects and encode relational structure. For example, a scene comprising three apples requires the observer to encode concepts of "apple" and "three." In the primate brain, these functions rely on dual (ventral and dorsal) processing streams.

Article Synopsis
  • Stroke disrupts brain function and motor skills, with previous research focusing mainly on the motor system recovery rather than other brain areas.
  • This study uses functional neuroimaging in Cynomolgus Macaques to assess how ischemic stroke impacts overall brain structure and its link to behavioral recovery.
  • Findings show significant shifts in cortical connectivity, particularly in higher-order transmodal cortex, highlighting its role in recovery, while changes in default mode and limbic network regions are crucial for animal behavior post-stroke.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the genetic links between smoking behavior (like smoking initiation and cigarettes smoked per day) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as previous observational studies suggested a potential connection.
  • Researchers utilized various genetic analysis methods to examine correlations and identify shared genetic factors, including "pleiotropic SNPs" that could influence both conditions.
  • The findings revealed significant genetic relationships, indicating that certain smoking behaviors are positively correlated with GERD, while others, like never smoking, showed negative correlations; three novel SNPs were also linked to both smoking and GERD.

Background: Aberrant resting-state functional connectivity is a neuropathological feature of schizophrenia (SCZ). Prior investigations into functional connectivity abnormalities have primarily employed seed-based connectivity analysis, necessitating predefined seed locations. To address this limitation, a data-driven multivariate method known as connectome-wide association study (CWAS) has been proposed for exploring whole-brain functional connectivity.
