Article Abstract
Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a metabolic disease of the nervous system. It mainly involves the Corpus callosum, but the handknob area is rarely involved. This article reports a MBD case involving the bilateral handknob area. The involvement of the bilateral handknob area contributes to the clinical presentation of convulsions of both hands. Through this case, more clinicians realize the bilateral handknob area involvement in MBD, which is helpful for the identification and diagnosis of MBD. To our knowledge, this is the first report on MBD involving the bilateral handknob area.

Control of the hand muscles during fine digit movements requires a high level of sensorimotor integration, which relies on a complex network of cortical and subcortical hubs. The components of this network have been extensively studied in human and non-human primates, but discrepancies in the findings obtained from different mapping approaches are difficult to interpret. In this study, we defined the cortical and connectional components of the hand motor network in the same cohort of 20 healthy adults and 3 neurosurgical patients.

Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown positive but inconsistent results in stroke rehabilitation. This could be attributed to inter-individual variations in brain characteristics and stroke lesions, which limit the use of a single tDCS protocol for all post-stroke patients. Optimizing the electrode location in tDCS for each individual using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to generate three-dimensional computer models and calculate the electric field (E-field) induced by tDCS at a specific target point in the primary motor cortex may help reduce these inconsistencies.

Differential processing of intrinsic vs. extrinsic coordinates in wrist movement: connectivity and chronometry perspectives.

This study explores brain-network differences between the intrinsic and extrinsic motor coordinate frames. A connectivity model showing the coordinate frames difference was obtained using brain fMRI data of right wrist isometric flexions and extensions movements, performed in two forearm postures. The connectivity model was calculated by machine-learning-based neural representation and effective functional connectivity using psychophysiological interaction and dynamic causal modeling analyses.

This paper introduces a new iBCI communication prosthesis using a 3D keyboard interface for typing using continuous, closed loop movement of multiple fingers. A participant-specific BCI keyboard prototype was developed for a BrainGate2 clinical trial participant (T5) using neural recordings from the hand-knob area of the left premotor cortex.
