Objective: To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with computer-assisted cognitive training on the recovery of cognitive function and activities of daily living in patients with post stroke cognitive impairment.
Methods: A total of 98 patients with post stroke cognitive impairment were randomized into an observation group (50 cases, 6 cases dropped off) and a control group (48 cases, 5 cases dropped off). Both groups were treated with conventional treatment, such as computer-assisted cognitive training. On the basis of the conventional treatment, acupuncture at Taixi (KI 3), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Shuigou (GV 26), Baihui (GV 20), ect. was given in the observation group. In the control group, acupuncture at acupoints of limbs was given. The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, the scores of Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale, modified Barthel index (MBI) and stroke syndrome of TCM scale were used to evaluate the cognitive function, activities of daily living and syndrome of TCM in the two groups. The latency and amplitude of P300 were detected by electromyographs and evoked response instrument. And the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups.
Results: Compared before treatment, the MoCA and MBI scores were increased (<0.01), and the scores of stroke syndrome of TCM scale were decreased (<0.01) after treatment in the two groups. After treatment，the MoCA and MBI scores in the observation group were higher than the control group (<0.01, <0.05), and the score of stroke syndrome of TCM scale was lower than the control group (<0.05). Compared before treatment, the latency of P300 was shortened and amplitude was prolonged after treatment in the two groups (<0.01). After treatment, in the observation group, the latency of P300 was shorter, and amplitude was longer than the control group (<0.01). The effective rate was 86.4% (38/44) in the observation group, which was higher than 67.4% (29/43) in the control group (<0.01).
Conclusion: acupuncture combined with computer-assisted cognitive training could improve the cognitive function of patients with post stroke cognitive impairment.

Emotions play a crucial role in human thoughts, cognitive processes, and decision-making. EEG has become a widely utilized tool in emotion recognition due to its high temporal resolution, real-time monitoring capabilities, portability, and cost-effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end emotion recognition method from EEG signals, called MSDCGTNet, which is based on the Multi-Scale Dynamic 1D CNN and the Gated Transformer.

Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) represent a feature of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a prominent vascular contributor to age-related cognitive decline, dementia, and stroke. They are visible as spherical hypointense signals on T2*- or susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. An increasing number of automated CMB detection methods being proposed are based on supervised deep learning (DL).

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been frequently used to examine age-related deterioration of white matter microstructure and its relationship to cognitive decline. However, typical tensor-based analytical approaches are often difficult to interpret due to the challenge of decomposing and (mis)interpreting the impact of crossing fibers within a voxel. We hypothesized that a novel analytical approach capable of resolving fiber-specific changes within each voxel (i.

Co-activation of distinct brain areas provides a valuable measure of functional interaction, or connectivity, between them. One well-validated way to investigate the co-activation patterns of a precise area is meta-analytic connectivity modeling (MACM), which performs a seed-based meta-analysis on task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (task-fMRI) data. While MACM stands as a powerful automated tool for constructing robust models of whole-brain human functional connectivity, its inherent limitation lies in its inability to capture the distinct interrelationships among multiple brain regions.
