Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how well a multiparametric assay can classify patients with different connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and distinguish them from healthy controls based purely on autoantibody levels.
- The research involved testing serum from 908 subjects, resulting in a classification model with an accuracy of about 60.84% and high area under the curve scores, identifying distinct patient clusters based on their autoantibody profiles.
- The findings concluded that this autoantibody assay effectively classifies CTD patients, revealing four distinct clusters, which may aid in understanding and predicting disease manifestations without relying on clinical features.

Previous transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies showed functional connections between the parietal cortex (PC) and the primary motor cortex (M1) during tasks of different reaching-to-grasp movements. Here, we tested whether the same network is involved in cognitive processes such as imagined or observed actions. Single pulse TMS of the right and left M1 during rest and during a motor imagery and an action observation task (i.
