Article Abstract

Introduction: The neural bases for language perception have been studied elsewhere using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Direct Cortical Stimulation. However, to our knowledge, there is no previous report about a patient identifying the change in his voice tone, speed, and prosody because of right temporal cortical stimulation. Nor has there been a cortico-cortical evoked potential (CCEP) assessment of the network underlying this process.

Case Report: We present CCEP from a patient with right focal refractory temporal lobe epilepsy of tumoral etiology who reported changes in the perception of his own speech prosody during stimulation. This report will serve as a complement to the understanding of the neural networks of language and prosody.

Conclusion: The present report shows that right superior temporal gyrus, transverse temporal gyrus, right amygdala, hippocampus, and fusiform gyrus (FG) are part of the neural network subjacent to own human voice perception.

Congenital hearing loss is a significant health problem, with a worldwide incidence of >6 per 1000 live births. Late diagnosis will delay appropriate treatment, leading to potential neurodevelopment problems. Early diagnosis requires neonatal hearing screening, where one of the most used techniques is automated Auditory Brainstem Responses (aABR).

Background: Affective disorders represent a major global health burden. Animal models are widely used for modeling brain disorders and neuroactive drug discovery. A novel powerful tool in translational neuroscience research, zebrafish provide multiple behavioral assays relevant to anxiety-like and depression-related conditions (including despair-like behavior, a common feature in depression).

Effects of location- and object-based attention on sensory processing have been mostly studied in isolation leaving the relations between them less well understood. In an EEG experiment, temporal dynamics of location- and object-based attention were investigated with a probabilistic spatial cueing task to test temporal differences between sensory enhancement of two locations in one object. Stimuli consisted of two vertical rectangles/bars filled with a random noise pattern.

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) serves as a critical hub for higher-order cognitive and executive functions in the human brain, coordinating brain networks whose disruption has been implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. While transcranial brain stimulation treatments often target the LPFC, our current understanding of connectivity profiles guiding these interventions based on electrophysiology remains limited. Here, we present a high-resolution probabilistic map of bidirectional effective connectivity between the LPFC and widespread cortical and subcortical regions.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common adaptation to cardiovascular stress and often a prelude to heart failure. We examined how S-palmitoylation of the small GTPase, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), impacts cardiomyocyte stress signaling. Mutation of the cysteine-178 palmitoylation site impaired activation of Rac1 when overexpressed in cardiomyocytes.
