Background: structural and neurochemical abnormalities in temporal lobe and temporoparietal junction (T-TPJ) are seen not only in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but also in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). At the same time, studies of conversion to dementia focused on functional characteristics of these regions are lacking.
The aim was to search for patterns of functional connectivity (FC) within T-TPJ that differentiate patients with aMCI with future conversion to AD from stable aMCI patients and healthy controls.
Patients, Comparison Group and Methods: patients with aMCI who further converted to dementia due to AD (converters, n = 15), patients with stable aMCI (n = 12), and healthy individuals without cognitive deficits (n = 29) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. FC between cortical T-TPJ structures was compared between groups separately for each hemisphere (one-way ANCOVA and post hoc between-group comparisons).
Results: an increased FC between posterior parts of left middle and inferior temporal gyri was observed in converters compared to other groups. There was an inverse correlation between this FC and delayed recall of words (MoCA scale) in the entire sample, however, this correlation did not reach the level of statistical significance (p = 0.055).
Conclusions: the posterior parts of left middle and inferior temporal gyri are involved in auditory verbal memory and storing of visual images associated with a word, respectively. Therefore, а pattern of increased FC observed in future converters to AD may be a consequence of pathological processes that have already started and/or compensatory mechanisms.

Communication deficits in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involve impairments in both verbal and nonverbal domains, potentially associated with altered brain network connectivity related to language, attention, and social cognition systems. This study investigated functional connectivity patterns among the Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience Network (SN), Dorsal Attention Network (DAN), and Language Network (LN) in male children ...

Glioblastomas are the most prevalent primary brain tumors and are associated with a dramatically poor prognosis. Despite an intensive treatment approach, including maximal surgical tumor removal followed by radio- and chemotherapy, the median survival for glioblastoma patients has remained around 18 months for decades. Glioblastoma is distinguished by its highly complex mechanisms of immune evasion ...

Automated disease screening systems face challenges when applied to multi-class medical image analysis, particularly under severe class imbalance inherent in clinical datasets. Retinal fundus imaging enables non-invasive screening for multiple ocular and systemic diseases simultaneously, yet current automated systems typically assess risk for only a single pathology or a limited disease range. We developed a ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions. However, how imagery perspective influences corticospinal excitability across different effectors remains unclear. Using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we compared kinesthetic (KMI), first-person visual (VMI-1PP), and third-person visual (VMI-3PP) imagery of elbow flexion-extension ...

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), a transcriptionally driven pediatric malignancy, exhibits a remarkable clinical and biological heterogeneity. Two major subtypes, adrenergic and mesenchymal, are differentially governed by distinct subsets of transcription factors that constitute the core regulatory circuitry (CRC).
