Article Abstract

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is characterized by alterations of brain dynamic on a large-scale associated with altered cognitive functioning. Here, we aimed at analyzing dynamic reconfiguration of brain activity, using the neural fingerprint approach, to delineate subject-specific characteristics and their cognitive correlates in TLE. We collected 10 min of resting-state scalp-electroencephalography (EEG, 128 channels), free from epileptiform activity, from 68 TLE patients and 34 controls. The functional network was defined by the spatiotemporal spreading, across cortical regions, of aperiodic bursts of signals' amplitude (neuronal avalanches), encapsulated into the avalanche transition matrix (ATM). The fingerprint analysis of the ATMs revealed more stereotyped patterns in patients with respect to controls, with the greatest stereotypy in bilateral TLE. Finally, indices extracted from individual patterns of brain dynamics correlated with the memory impairment in unilateral TLE. This study helped understand how dynamic brain activity in TLE is shaped and provided patient-specific indices useful for personalized medicine.

Development of the SCI-BodyMap-Measuring Mental Body Representations in Adults With Spinal Cord Injury: Protocol for Item Generation, Reliability, and Validity Testing.

Background: Approximately 69% of Americans with spinal cord injury (SCI) have neuropathic pain. Research suggests that impairments in mental body representations (MBRs; ie, representations of the body in the brain) likely contribute to neuropathic pain. Clinical trials in adults with SCI, focused on restoring MBR, led to improvements in sensation and movement as well as neuropathic pain relief.

Personalized Interactive Music Systems for Physical Activity and Exercise: Exploratory Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Personalized Interactive Music Systems (PIMSs) are emerging as promising devices for enhancing physical activity and exercise outcomes. By leveraging real-time data and adaptive technologies, PIMSs align musical features, such as tempo and genre, with users' physical activity patterns, including frequency and intensity, enhancing their overall experience.

Objective: This exploratory systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of PIMSs across physical, psychophysical, and affective domains.

Muricholic acid mediates puberty initiation via the hypothalamic TGR5 signaling pathway.

The onset of puberty is increasingly observed at earlier ages in children, especially in girls with obesity, a trend that predisposes them to long-term metabolic and reproductive disorders in adulthood. Bile acids have emerged as pivotal signaling molecules in both metabolic and reproductive disorders, but remain unexplored in the early onset of puberty in children. Herein, we find elevated levels of muricholic acid (MCA) species in the serum of girls with central precocious puberty, which strongly correlate with indices of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activation and can reach peak levels during puberty among healthy children.

Distinct prelimbic cortex ensembles encode response execution and inhibition.

Learning when to initiate or withhold actions is essential for survival, requiring the integration of past experiences with new information to adapt to changing environments. The prelimbic cortex (PL) plays a central role in this process, with a stable PL neuronal population (ensemble) recruited during operant reward learning to encode response execution. However, it is unknown how this established reward-learning ensemble adapts to changing reward contingencies, such as reward omission during extinction.
