Worry is a form of repetitive negative thought. High worry-proneness is one risk factor leading to anxiety disorder. Several types of research indicated that anxiety disorder was highly associated with disrupted interoception. The insula is consistently considered to play a key role in interoception. However, the relationship between worry and the interoception network is poorly investigated in worry-prone individuals. Thus, it is essential to identify the neural characteristic of high worry-proneness subjects. A total of 32 high worry-proneness (HWP) subjects and 25 low worry-proneness (LWP) subjects were recruited and underwent magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Six subregions of insula were chosen as regions of interest. Then, seed-based static and dynamic functional connectivity were calculated. Increased static functional connectivity was observed between the ventral anterior insula and inferior parietal lobule in HWP compared to LWP. Decreased static functional connectivity was found between the left ventral anterior insula and the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex. Decreased dynamic functional connectivity was also shown between the right posterior insula and the inferior parietal lobule in HWP. Moreover, a test exploring the effect of changed function within the insular region confirmed that a significant positive relationship between static functional connectivity (ventral anterior insula-inferior parietal lobule) and dynamic functional connectivity (posterior insula-inferior parietal lobule) in LWP but not in HWP. Our results might suggest that deficient insular function may be an essential factor related to high worry in healthy subjects.

Introduction: The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has highlighted the need for efficient diagnostic methods to assess the state of health (SoH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at the end of their life cycle. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) offers a non-invasive technique for determining battery degradation. However, automating this process in industrial settings remains a challenge.

Edible flowers have been a part of various traditional dishes around the world. The consumption of edible flowers has been rising due to their nutritional properties, minerals, antioxidants, phenolic and bioactive compounds, therapeutic properties, and also aesthetic appeal. Along with the nutrients, some antinutrients and other chemical, biological, microbial hazards may render flowers non-edible.

Background: Irritability affects up to 20% of youth and is a primary reason for referral to pediatric mental health clinics. Irritability is thought to be associated with disruptions in processing of reward, threat, and cognitive control; however, empirical study of these associations at both the behavioral and neural level have yielded equivocal findings that may be driven by small sample sizes and differences in study design. Associations between irritability and brain connectivity between cognitive control and reward- or threat-processing circuits remain understudied.

Purpose: To investigate whether functional radiomic features in bilateral hippocampi can identify the cognitively impaired patients from low-back-related leg pain (LBLP).
Patients And Methods: For this retrospective study, a total of 95 clinically definite LBLP patients (40 cognitively impaired patients and 45 cognitively preserved patients) were included, and all patients underwent functional MRI and clinical assessments. After calculating the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) and degree centrality (DC) imaging, the radiomic features (n = 819) of bilateral hippocampi were extracted from these images, respectively.
