Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) can be conceptualized as a complex network where PSD symptoms (PSDS) interact with each other. The neural mechanism of PSD and interactions among PSDS remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the neuroanatomical substrates of, as well as the interactions between, individual PSDS to better understand the pathogenesis of early-onset PSD.
Methods: A total of 861 first-ever stroke patients admitted within 7 days poststroke were consecutively recruited from three independent hospitals in China. Sociodemographic, clinical and neuroimaging data were collected upon admission. PSDS assessment with Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was performed at 2 weeks after stroke. Thirteen PSDS were included to develop a psychopathological network in which central symptoms (i.e. symptoms most strongly correlated with other PSDS) were identified. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) was performed to uncover the lesion locations associated with overall PSDS severity and severities of individual PSDS, in order to test the hypothesis that strategic lesion locations for central symptoms could significantly contribute to higher overall PSDS severity.
Results: Depressed mood, Psychiatric anxiety and Loss of interest in work and activities were identified as central PSDS at the early stage of stroke in our relatively stable PSDS network. Lesions in bilateral (especially the right) basal ganglia and capsular regions were found significantly associated with higher overall PSDS severity. Most of the above regions were also correlated with higher severities of 3 central PSDS. The other 10 PSDS could not be mapped to any certain brain region.
Conclusions: There are stable interactions among early-onset PSDS with Depressed mood, Psychiatric anxiety and Loss of interest as central symptoms. The strategic lesion locations for central symptoms may indirectly induce other PSDS via the symptom network, resulting in higher overall PSDS severity.

Position-sensitive photodetectors (PSDs) have been widely used for seamless, high-resolution light tracking, but applications such as aerospace and prolonged field operations require stable performance in extreme environments. Conventional PSDs, typically based on the lateral photovoltaic effect of silicon or other semiconductor junctions, are prone to radiation damage and material degradation, limiting their reliability under harsh conditions. Silicon carbide (SiC), with its wide bandgap, high mobility, low defect density, and strong resistance to radiation damage, offers a promising alternative for developing robust detectors.

Sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings can be contaminated by artifacts. Visual and automatic methods have been developed to mark such erroneous segments of EEG data. Here, we systematically explored the effect of artifacts on the sleep EEG power spectrum density (PSD), and we compared gold-standard visual detections to a simple automatic detector using Hjorth parameters to identify artifacts.

The annual increase of microwave exposure in human environments continues to fuel debates regarding its potential health impacts. This study monitored the EEG and ECG responses of three Cynomolgus monkeys before and at 0, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days after exposure to 50 mW/cm² microwave radiation for 15 min. The findings revealed no significant differences in the power spectral densities (PSDs) of the whole brain, frontal, and temporal lobes across various frequency bands (δ, θ, α, β, low-γ, and high-γ) immediately and up to 30 days postexposure.
