CORTICAL-SUBCORTICAL INTERACTIONS IN GOAL DIRECTED BEHAVIOR

K. Guadalupe Cruz et al.

Summary: Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in complex, ever-changing environments requires cooperation between cortical and subcortical regions. Recent studies show that behavior is represented by brainwide activity, challenging the traditional view of top-down control. The thalamus plays a crucial role in these interactions, forming parallel loops and complex networks with other regions.

Visual Neglect after PICA Stroke-A Case Study

Nora Geiser et al.

Summary: Cognitive impairment is common after cerebellar stroke, known as Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS). This study presents a case of a patient with subacute cerebellar stroke and left-sided visual neglect, suggesting that the cerebellum also modulates visual attention. However, the neglect was only detected using sensitive neuro-psychological tests and video-oculography assessment, while traditional paper-pencil neglect tests failed to detect it. Follow-up assessments after three weeks showed an improvement in neglect symptoms. These findings suggest that visual neglect may be part of CCAS, but the choice of assessment tools and time delay since stroke onset play a crucial role.

The connectional anatomy of visual mental imagery: evidence from a patient with left occipito-temporal damage

Dounia Hajhajate et al.

Summary: This article describes the Fusiform Imagery Node (FIN), a region in the left temporal lobe that is consistently activated during visual mental imagery. The study found that despite extensive damage to the left hemisphere due to stroke, a patient still had normal subjective experience and behavioral performance in visual mental imagery tasks. The FIN was also found to have connections with the anterior temporal lobe and frontal regions, suggesting its role in bridging visual information and semantic knowledge.

Improved gesturing in left-hemispheric stroke by right inferior parietal theta burst stimulation

Manuela Pastore-Wapp et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers used cTBS technique to stimulate the right inferior parietal lobe (IPL-R) to improve gesturing in left hemispheric stroke patients. The study found that the behavioral effect was higher after IPL-R stimulation compared to the sham group, and it was positively correlated with the fractional anisotropy in the corpus callosum. The results suggest that indirect transcallosal modulation of IPL-L could be a promising approach to restore interhemispheric balance and assist in the rehabilitation of apraxia.

The subcortical and neurochemical organization of the ventral and dorsal attention networks

Pedro Nascimento Alves et al.

Summary: This study used advanced methods to investigate the subcortical architecture of attention networks and found the involvement of specific brain areas and nuclei. These nuclei are connected to acetylcholine nicotinic receptor, dopamine, and serotonin transporters, providing a comprehensive framework to understand attention across different species and brain diseases.

Structural cerebellar reserve positively influences outcome after severe stroke

Fatemeh Sadeghihassanabadi et al.

Summary: The concept of brain reserve capacity affecting stroke recovery has gained attention in recent years. The cerebellum has been found to play a role in stroke recovery. This study explored the relationship between cerebellar anatomy and outcome after stroke, finding that specific cerebellar regions were associated with a favorable outcome.

Various tests of left neglect are associated with distinct territories of hypoperfusion in acute stroke

Colin Stein et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the optimal assessments to identify hemispatial neglect in patients with right hemisphere stroke. They found that different tests for neglect given on the same day can detect distinct aspects and types of neglect, and are associated with different regions of hypoperfusion.

Physiology of Cerebellar Reserve: Redundancy and Plasticity of a Modular Machine

Hiroshi Mitoma et al.

Summary: The cerebellum possesses the ability for compensation and restoration after pathological injury, known as "cerebellar reserve". This capacity is due to unique morphological features like mossy fibers and the physiological characteristic of synaptic plasticity, which allow for the circulation of redundant information and cooperation among various forms of synaptic plasticity within the cerebellum.
