Background: High-definition-tDCS (HD-tDCS) is a recent technology that allows for localized cortical stimulation, but has not yet been investigated as an augmentative therapy while targeting the left temporoparietal cortex in logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA). The changes in neuronal oscillatory patterns and resting-state functional connectivity in response to HD-tDCS also remains poorly understood.
Objective: We sought to investigate the effects of HD-tDCS with phonologic-based language training on language, cognition, and resting-state functional connectivity in lvPPA.

The transition towards the brain state induced by psychedelic drugs is frequently neglected in favor of a static description of their acute effects. We use a time-dependent whole-brain model to reproduce large-scale brain dynamics measured with fMRI from 15 volunteers under 20 mg intravenous N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a short-acting psychedelic. To capture its transient effects, we parametrize the proximity to a global bifurcation using a pharmacokinetic equation.

Training deep learning models generally requires large, costly datasets which can limit their application towards in-house segmentation tasks. This study investigates the trade-off in dataset size within the context of pelvic multi-organ MR segmentation where we evaluate the performance of nnU-Net, a well-known segmentation model, under conditions of limited domain and data availability. 12 participants undergoing treatment on an Elekta Unity were recruited, acquiring 58 MR images, with 4 participants (12 images) withheld for testing.

The universalizability of the metric percentage of signal recovery (PSR) derived from dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI is limited by its dependency of acquisition parameters. In this technical assessment, we tested different reference tissues for PSR normalization and found the normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) to have the least inter-patient variability when using a fixed PSR-optimized protocol. A logarithmic normalization using NAWM improved the consistency of PSR values when a cohort of brain tumor patients was analyzed by synthetically changing acquisition parameters (while keeping the protocol uniform within the cohort).

Background: To further elucidate the clinical implications of myocardial T1 mapping with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), we investigated the relationships of native myocardial T1 value (T1) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) with left ventricular (LV) parameters and cardiac biomarkers in ATTR-CM patients before and after tafamidis treatment.
Methods And Results: We studied wild-type ATTR-CM patients who underwent baseline CMR with LV cine and T1 mapping techniques. T1 and ECV were derived from averaged values of base-to-apex LV myocardium.
