Background: Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) describes the trait-like tendency toward poor self-control when experiencing strong emotions. ERI has been shown to be elevated across psychiatric disorders and predictive of the onset and worsening of psychiatric syndromes. Recent work has correlated ERI scores with the region-level neuroanatomical properties of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), but not posteromedial cortex (PMC). Informed by a growing body of research indicating that examining the morphology of specific cortical folds (sulci) can produce unique insights into behavioral outcomes, the present study modeled the association between ERI and the morphology of sulci within OFC and PMC, which is a finer scale than previously conducted.
Methods: Analyses were conducted in a transdiagnostic sample of 118 adult individuals with a broad range of psychiatric syndromes. First, we manually defined over 4,000 sulci across 236 cerebral hemispheres. Second, we implemented a model-based LASSO regression to relate OFC sulcal morphology to ERI. Third, we tested whether effects were specific to OFC sulci, sulcal depth, and ERI (as compared to PMC sulci, sulcal gray matter thickness, and non-emotion-related impulsivity).
Results: The LASSO regression revealed bilateral associations of ERI with the depths of eight OFC sulci. These effects were strongest for OFC sulci, sulcal depth, and ERI in comparison to PMC sulci, sulcal gray matter thickness, and non-emotion-related impulsivity. In addition, we identified a new transverse component of the olfactory sulcus in every hemisphere that is dissociable from the longitudinal component based on anatomical features and correlation with behavior, which could serve as a new transdiagnostic biomarker.
Conclusions: The results of this data-driven investigation provide greater neuroanatomical and neurodevelopmental specificity on how OFC is related to ERI. As such, findings link neuroanatomical characteristics to a trait that is highly predictive of psychopathology.

Article Synopsis
- Discrepancies in naming and understanding the sulcal structures in the lateral superior parietal lobule led to a detailed study of their morphology and terminology across various literature and neuroimaging.
- The research involved analyzing historical and contemporary texts as well as neuroimaging data from healthy individuals and cadavers, focusing on several sulci, including the intraparietal and transverse parietal sulci.
- Key findings include clarifications on the meanings of several terms, such as recognizing the intraparietal sulcus as a complex structure and highlighting that various sulci may be synonymous or linked, ultimately improving the understanding of these brain structures.
Reversible sulcal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity after combined bypass surgery for moyamoya disease - A "crevasse" sign.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates transient fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity on the brain surface following bypass surgery for moyamoya disease to understand its mechanism and significance.
- It included 106 hemispheres from 61 patients with moyamoya disease and 11 control patients, using serial MRI scans and measuring cerebral blood flow pre- and post-surgery.
- The results showed that FLAIR hyperintensity developed in all moyamoya patients, peaked shortly after surgery, and correlated with the severity of cerebral ischemia, suggesting a mix of oxygen and protein leakage from arteries into cerebrospinal fluid.
Leveraging Input-Level Feature Deformation with Guided-Attention for Sulcal Labeling.
IEEE Trans Med Imaging
September 2024
The identification of cortical sulci is key for understanding functional and structural development of the cortex. While large, consistent sulci (or primary/secondary sulci) receive significant attention in most studies, the exploration of smaller and more variable sulci (or putative tertiary sulci) remains relatively under-investigated. Despite its importance, automatic labeling of cortical sulci is challenging due to (1) the presence of substantial anatomical variability, (2) the relatively small size of the regions of interest (ROIs) compared to unlabeled regions, and (3) the scarcity of annotated labels.
