Article Abstract

The cortical distribution of the proper name (PN) retrieval network has been widely studied contrary to its connectional anatomy. Here, we report the case of three patients with a low-grade glioma damaging the mid-to-anterior part of the left temporal lobe. A longitudinal behavioural assessment showed that the surgery caused a long-lasting decline in PN retrieval performances in all patients. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of surgery-related structural disconnections revealed that interruption of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus was the unique common denominator.

Objectives: To examine associations between low cognitive-performance and regional-and network-level brain changes at ages 9-10 in very-preterm, moderately-preterm, and full-term children, and explore whether these alterations predict ASD/ADHD symptoms at age 12.

Methods: This longitudinal population-based study included 9-10-year-old U.S.

Most individuals with moderate-to-severe diffuse axonal injury (DAI) have impaired verbal fluency (VF) capacity. Still, the relationship between brain and VF recovery post-DAI has remained mostly unknown. The aim was to assess brain changes in 13 cortical thickness regions of interest (ROIs), fractional anisotropy (FA), and free water (FW) in three language-related tracts; the VF performance at 6 and 12 months after the DAI; and whether brain changes from 3 to 6 months predict VF performance from 6- to 12-month post-DAI.

Background: Loss of breast sensation following mastectomy and reconstruction significantly impacts quality of life, influencing body image, intimacy, and overall emotional well-being. Despite advances in reconstructive techniques, sensory outcomes remain inconsistent, limiting broader clinical adoption of reinnervation strategies. This educational review synthesizes the current scope of sensory restoration in breast reconstruction, examining approaches to reinnervation, sensory outcome measures, and management of patient expectations.

Pulse pressure as a predictor of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers and cognitive decline: The moderating role of APOE ε4.

Background: Elevated pulse pressure (PP), indicative of arterial stiffness, has been implicated in cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, its role in preclinical AD and interactions with genetic risk factors like apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) remain unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the association between baseline PP and AD biomarkers (amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau) and cognitive decline, and to determine whether APOE4 carrier status moderates these relationships.

Normative, longitudinal data are necessary for effective modeling of factors underlying disease processes on the brain. Large scale national and international consortium data have characterized human regional brain volume trajectories as complex and prolonged gray and white matter maturation through the third decade of life followed by progressive senescence of cortical and then subcortical gray matter. By middle age (>40 years), white matter volume is also in decline.
