A comprehensive analysis of the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) Dopamine Transporter Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (DaTscan) images is carried out using a voxel-based logistic lasso model. The model reveals that sub-regional voxels in the caudate, the putamen, as well as in the globus pallidus are informative for classifying images into control and PD classes. Further, a new technique called logistic component analysis is developed. This technique reveals that intra-population differences in dopamine transporter concentration and imperfect normalization are significant factors influencing logistic analysis. The interactions with handedness, sex, and age are also evaluated.

Seizure Burden and Clinical Risk Factors in Glioma-Related Epilepsy: Insights From MRI Voxel-Based Lesion-Symptom Mapping.
J Magn Reson Imaging
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Epilepsy is the most common symptom before surgery in glioma patients, prompting a study to determine the brain areas and factors linked to preoperative seizures.
- A retrospective analysis looked at 735 patients with primary diffuse supratentorial gliomas, examining MRI and pathology data to identify voxels and clinical factors associated with the frequency of seizures before surgery.
- Key findings revealed that significant seizure activity was linked to specific brain regions, such as the right hippocampus and left insular cortex, with tumor involvement in these areas as a major risk factor for increased seizure burden (OR = 6.98).
Mapping grey matter and cortical thickness alterations associated with subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment among rural-dwelling older adults in China: A population-based study.

Background: The structural brain alterations for subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are poorly defined. We sought to characterize grey matter volume (GMV) and cortical thickness associated with SCD and MCI among rural-dwelling older adults in China.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study included 1072 dementia-free participants from the brain MRI sub-study of MIND-China (2018-2020).
Assessing Language Lateralization through Gray Matter Volume: Implications for Preoperative Planning in Brain Tumor Surgery.
Brain Sci
September 2024
Speech and Language Pathology Department, Health Sciences School, Faculty of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago 7820436, Chile.
Article Synopsis
- Functional MRI (fMRI) is often used to assess language function but can be inaccurate in patients with brain tumors due to cognitive issues and movement artifacts; gray matter volume (GMV) analysis offers a more stable alternative.
- This study analyzed MRI data from 22 healthy subjects and 28 patients with left-hemisphere tumors, exploring the link between GMV in language-specific brain regions and results from fMRI language lateralization tasks.
- Findings indicate that GMV in relevant brain areas is a strong predictor of language lateralization, with predictions achieving accuracy rates from 78% to 94%, suggesting that GMV analysis can enhance preoperative assessments for language function in complex cases.
Disrupted gray matter connectome in vestibular migraine: a combined machine learning and individual-level morphological brain network analysis.
J Headache Pain
October 2024
Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Shizi Street 188, Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215006, P.R. China.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the effects of vestibular migraine (VM) on the structural organization of gray matter (GM) networks, highlighting a gap in existing research regarding GM network patterns in VM patients.
- It involved 55 VM patients and 57 healthy controls, using structural MRI to analyze GM networks through similarity in regional volume distribution and various graph-theoretical metrics.
- Results indicated that VM patients had increased clustering coefficients and local efficiency but decreased nodal degree in specific brain regions, with certain morphological connections showing potential correlations with clinical symptoms, achieving a classification accuracy of 77.68% between VM patients and healthy controls.
A longitudinal multimodal MRI study of the visual network in postoperative delirium.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100070, China.
Although structural and functional damage to the brain is considered to be an important neurobiological mechanism of postoperative delirium (POD), alterations in the visual cortical network related to this vulnerability have not yet been determined. In this study, we investigated the impact of alterations in the visual network (VN), as measured by structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), on the development of POD. Thirty-six adult patients with frontal glioma who underwent elective craniotomy were recruited.
