Article Abstract
To investigate the alteration of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and its connectivity patterns in olfactory-related regions of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using arterial spin labeling (ASL). Sixty-nine patients with T2DM and 63 healthy controls (HCs) underwent ASL scanning using 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging. We compared the CBF values of the olfactory-related brain regions between the two groups and analyzed the correlation between their changes and clinical variables. We also used these regions as seeds to explore the differences in CBF connectivity patterns in olfactory-related brain regions between the T2DM patients and HCs. Compared with the HC group, the CBF of the right orbital part of the inferior frontal gyrus (OIFG), right insula, and bilateral olfactory cortex was decreased in the T2DM patients. Moreover, the duration of the patients was negatively correlated with the CBF changes in the right OIFG, right insula, and right olfactory cortex. The CBF changes in the right OIFG were positively correlated with the Self-Rating Depression Scale scores, those in the right insula were negatively correlated with the max blood glucose of continuous glucose, and those in the right olfactory cortex were negatively correlated with the mean blood glucose of continuous glucose. In addition, the T2DM patients also showed decreased CBF connectivity between the right OIFG and the left temporal pole of the middle temporal gyrus and increased CBF connectivity between the right medial orbital part of the superior frontal gyrus and the right orbital part of the superior frontal gyrus and between the right olfactory cortex and the bilateral caudate and the left putamen. Patients with T2DM have decreased CBF and altered CBF connectivity in multiple olfactory-related brain regions. These changes may help explain why olfactory dysfunction occurs in patients with T2DM, thus providing insights into the neuropathological mechanism of olfactory dysfunction and cognitive decline in T2DM patients.

Background: Cannabis constituents, including Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), show distinct pharmacological profiles with therapeutic relevance for neurological and psychiatric conditions. THC exerts euphoric effects primarily via CB1 receptor activation, while CBD displays non-euphoric properties affecting various pathways.
Aims: This study evaluated the effects of THC, CBD, and their combination on brain functional connectivity (FC) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) using multimodal neuroimaging.

Functional MRI methods can assess aspects of drug-induced brain response. Resting blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) fMRI and arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI indirectly measure brain function through the coupling of activity to cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation but their relative sensitivity has not been directly compared. We assessed changes in resting measures of BOLD and ASL MRI in response to two neurotransmitter modulators: citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and alprazolam, a positive allosteric modulator of GABA type A receptor.

Motor tasks have been extensively used to probe neuroplasticity and the changes in MRI signals are often associated with changes in performance. Changes in performance have been linked to alterations in resting-state fluctuations of BOLD signal after the end of the task. We hypothesize that motor learning will induce localized changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) sustained even after the execution of a motor learning task.

Habitual aerobic exercise positively impacts brain health. However, less is known about the acute effects of exercise on regional cerebral blood flow (CBF). Most studies have used exercise methods that required a 10-minute or longer delay before acquiring CBF data or methods that assessed global, rather than regional, CBF.

Overactive bladder (OAB) has been linked to abnormal cerebral blood flow (CBF) and functional connectivity (FC). However, findings related to CBF and FC changes in OAB remain inconsistent across the literature. This feasibility study employed arterial spin labeling (ASL) to investigate abnormal CBF and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) FC in individuals with OAB, both at rest and during bladder filling.
