Greater Cortical Activation and Motor Recovery Following Mirror Therapy Immediately after Peripheral Nerve Repair of the Forearm

Yueh-Hsia Chen et al.

Summary: Cortical reorganization occurs immediately after peripheral nerve injury, and early sensorimotor training is suggested during nerve regeneration. This study examined the effects of mirror therapy and classical sensory relearning on cortical activation after peripheral nerve repair of the forearm. The results showed that the mirror therapy group had better outcomes in finger and manual dexterity, and functional MRI revealed greater activation in specific brain areas during motor tasks. This study provides evidence-based results confirming the benefits of early sensorimotor relearning for cortical activation in peripheral nerve injury of the forearm and different neuroplasticity patterns between mirror therapy and classical sensor relearning.

Increased resting-state interhemispheric functional connectivity of striatum in first-episode drug-naive adolescent-onset schizophrenia

Ge Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that drug-naive first-episode AOS patients demonstrate abnormalities in interhemispheric functional connectivity, which are not mitigated by short-term antipsychotic treatment.

The emergent properties of the connected brain

Michel Thiebaut de Schotten et al.

Summary: Brain connections go beyond signal transmission and play a crucial role in behavior and cognition. They determine the brain's functional organization and contribute to understanding brain evolution and cognitive differences. Pathologies affect connections, leading to cognitive dysfunction, and the prediction of long-term symptoms is now based on brain disconnections.

Reconstruction of paralyzed arm function in patients with hemiplegia through contralateral seventh cervical nerve cross transfer: a multicenter study and real-world practice guidance

Juntao Feng et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively investigated the efficacy and safety of contralateral seventh cervical nerve (CC7) cross transfer in restoring arm function of patients with spastic arm paralysis. The results showed that the surgery provided effective, safe, and stable functional improvements in the long-term follow-up, supporting the expansion of indications for the surgery.

Altered static and dynamic voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity in subacute stroke patients: a resting-state fMRI study

Jing Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, static and dynamic voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) were analyzed in stroke patients and healthy controls, revealing significant alterations in VMHC in different brain regions of stroke patients. A negative correlation was found between dynamic VMHC and FMA scores.

Aberrant central plasticity underlying synchronous sensory phenomena in brachial plexus injuries after contralateral cervical seventh nerve transfer

Zeyu Cai et al.

Summary: Contralateral C7 nerve transfer can aid in motor and sensory recovery in TBPI, but synchronous sensation often persists postoperatively. Central plasticity may play a role in sensory recovery, with sensory functioning of the injured hand dominated by its ipsilateral SI and overlapping with the intact hand's representative area.

Disrupted hemispheric connectivity specialization in patients with major depressive disorder: Evidence from the REST-meta-MDD Project

Yu-Dan Ding et al.

Summary: The study suggests that inter-hemispheric functional connectivity in MDD should be further studied. Patients with MDD showed increased hemispheric specialization in the default mode network, control network, attention network, and some other regions. Demographic characteristics and clinical variables significantly affected these abnormalities.

Abnormal interhemispheric resting state functional connectivity in Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorders

Caiting Gan et al.

Summary: Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease may be related to misjudgment of rewards and inability to suppress inappropriate choices. Our study found significant asymmetry in functional connectivity in specific brain regions among PD patients with impulse control disorders, which are associated with reward processing and inhibitory control.
