Four children with varying clinical manifestations, but with the unifying feature of severe developmental delay, had bilateral enlargement of the sylvian fissure confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subsequently, we examined 125 consecutive MRI scans of the heads of pediatric patients, looking for this insular exposure, and did not find it. Pathological correlation in 1 child revealed arhinencephaly and abnormal gyral formation; another is known to have migrational abnormalities. We suggest that the open operculum is a sign of arrested development and is associated with other anomalies and a poor prognosis.

Causal relationships between cortical brain structural alterations and migraine subtypes: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study of 2,347 neuroimaging phenotypes.

Background: Previous studies have shown that migraines are associated with brain structural changes. However, the causal relationships between these changes and migraine, as well as its subtypes, migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO), remain largely unclear.
Methods: We utilized genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from European cohorts for 2,347 cortical structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes, derived from both T1-weighted and diffusion tensor imaging scans (n = 36,663), with migraine and its subtypes (n = 147,970-375,752).
Modulation of Posterior Default Mode Network Activity During Interoceptive Attention and Relation to Mindfulness.

Background: Interoceptive attention to internal sensory signals, such as the breath, is fundamental to mindfulness. However, interoceptive attention can be difficult to study, with many studies relying on subjective and retrospective measures. Response consistency is an established method for evaluating variability of attention on exteroceptive attention tasks, but it has rarely been applied to interoceptive attention tasks.

Evidence indicates that the default mode network (DMN) plays a crucial role in the neuropathology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the neural signatures of DMN subsystems in MDD after low resistance Thought Induction Psychotherapy (TIP) remain incompletely understood. We collected functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 20 first-episode, drug-naive MDD and 20 healthy controls (HCs).

Aging is known to be associated with a decline in interoceptive abilities and changes in emotional processing, including alexithymia. As the brain areas supporting interoceptive awareness participate in the perception of emotion, we suggested that interoceptive decline and alexithymia in older adults may share common neural ground. To test this hypothesis, we administered functional magnetic resonance imaging-based heartbeat detection task to 62 adults of diverse ages (range 18-73) and evaluated a larger sample of older and younger adults using questionnaires characterizing interoceptive sensibility, alexithymia, and depressive attitudes.

Introduction: Open resective surgery remains the main treatment modality for refractory epilepsy, but is often considered a last resort option due to its invasiveness.
Research Question: This manuscript aims to provide an overview on traditional as well as minimally invasive surgical approaches in modern state of the art epilepsy surgery.
Materials And Methods: This narrative review addresses both historical and contemporary as well as minimal invasive surgical approaches in epilepsy surgery.
