Beta hypersynchrony was recently introduced into clinical practice in Parkinson's disease (PD) to identify the best stimulation contacts and for adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) sensing. However, many other oscillopathies accompany the disease, and beta power sensing may not be optimal for all patients. The aim of this work was to study the potential clinical usefulness of beta power phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) with high frequency oscillations (HFOs). Subthalamic nucleus (STN) local field potentials (LFPs) from externalized DBS electrodes were recorded and analyzed in PD patients (n = 19). Beta power and HFOs were evaluated in a resting-state condition; PAC was then studied and compared with the electrode contact positions, structural connectivity, and medication state. Beta-HFO PAC (mainly in the 200-500 Hz range) was observed in all subjects. PAC was detectable more specifically in the motor part of the STN compared to beta power and HFOs. Moreover, the presence of PAC better corresponds to the stimulation setup based on the clinical effect. PAC is also sensitive to the laterality of symptoms and dopaminergic therapy, where the greater PAC cluster reflects the more affected side and medication "off" state. Coupling between beta power and HFOs is known to be a correlate of the PD "off" state. Beta-HFO PAC seems to be more sensitive than beta power itself and could be more helpful in the selection of the best clinical stimulation contact and probably also as a potential future input signal for aDBS.

Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with exercise therapy for the treatment of cervicogenic headache. Our exploratory objectives compared symptoms of headache, mood, pain, and quality of life between active and sham transcranial direct stimulation combined with exercise therapy.

Background: Cervicogenic headache arises from injury to the cervical spine or degenerative diseases impacting cervical spine structure resulting in pain, reduced quality of life, and impaired function.

Dung Beetle algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm with advantages in exploitation ability. However, due to the high randomness of parameters, premature convergence and other reasons, there is an imbalance between exploration and exploitation ability, and it is easy to fall into the problem of local optimal solution. The purpose of this study is to improve the optimization performance of dung beetle algorithm and explore its engineering application value.

Task-free brain activity affords unique insight into the functional structure of brain network dynamics and has been used to identify neural markers of individual differences. In this work, we present an algorithmic optimization framework that directly inverts and parameterizes brain-wide dynamical-systems models involving hundreds of interacting neural populations, from single-subject M/EEG time-series recordings. This technique provides a powerful neurocomputational tool for interrogating mechanisms underlying individual brain dynamics ("precision brain models") and making quantitative predictions.

This study identifies microRNAs (miRNAs) with significant discriminatory power in distinguishing melanoma from nevus, notably hsa-miR-26a and hsa-miR-211, which have exhibited diagnostic potential with accuracy of 81% and 78% respectively. To enhance diagnostic accuracy, we integrated miRNAs into various machine-learning (ML) models. Incorporating miRNAs with AUC scores above 0.
