Although previous studies identified a similar topography pattern of structural and functional delineations in human middle temporal gyrus (MTG) using healthy adults, trajectories of MTG sub-regions across lifespan remain largely unknown. Herein, we examined gray matter volume (GMV) and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) using datasets from the Nathan Kline Institute (NKI), and aimed to (1) investigate structural and functional trajectories of MTG sub-regions across the lifespan; and (2) assess whether these features can be used as biomarkers to predict individual's chronological age. As a result, GMV of all MTG sub-regions followed U-shaped trajectories with extreme age around the sixth decade. The RSFC between MTG sub-regions and many cortical brain regions showed inversed U-shaped trajectories, whereas RSFC between MTG sub-regions and sub-cortical regions/cerebellum showed U-shaped way, with extreme age about 20 years earlier than those of GMV. Moreover, GMV and RSFC of MTG sub-regions could be served as useful features to predict individual age with high estimation accuracy. Together, these results not only provided novel insights into the dynamic process of structural and functional roles of MTG sub-regions across the lifespan, but also served as useful biomarkers to age prediction.

The event-related potential/field component N400(m) has been widely used as a neural index for semantic prediction. It has long been hypothesized that feedback information from inferior frontal areas plays a critical role in generating the N400. However, due to limitations in causal connectivity estimation, direct testing of this hypothesis has remained difficult.

Background: Although there has been much neurobiological research on major depressive disorder, research on the neurological function of depressive symptoms (DS) or subclinical depression is still scarce, especially in older women with DS.
Objectives: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to compare functional connectivity (FC) between the cerebellum and cerebral in older women with DS and normal controls (NC), to explore unique changes in cerebellar FC in older women with DS.
Methods: In all, 16 older women with DS and 17 NC were recruited.

Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) are considered part of the early progression continuum of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a hub of information processing and regulation in the brain, plays an essential role in AD pathophysiology. In the present study, we aimed to systematically identify changes in the functional connectivity (FC) of ACC subregions in patients with SCD and aMCI and evaluate the association of these changes with cognition.

Inter-brain synchronization is primarily investigated during social interactions but had not been examined during coupled muscle action between two persons until now. It was previously shown that mechanical muscle oscillations can develop coherent behavior between two isometrically interacting persons. This case study investigated if inter-brain synchronization appears thereby, and if differences of inter- and intrapersonal muscle and brain coherence exist regarding two different types of isometric muscle action.
