Article Abstract

The common marmoset () has been recently developed as a nonhuman primate model useful for studying behaviour, neurology, and higher-level cognitive processes considering their phylogenetic proximity to humans. Here, we investigated the resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of the marmoset claustrum, a small, highly connected subcortical structure. Using an open resource of 234 functional MRI scans from awake marmosets, we found claustrum connectivity to the prefrontal cortex, posterior parietal cortex, temporal cortices, cingulate cortex, sensory cortices, limbic areas, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. We also found strong functional connectivity to regions and hubs involved in marmoset resting-state networks. These findings demonstrate marmoset claustrum RSFC similar to previous human and non-human primate studies and validate the integration of marmosets into claustrum research.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.

Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and share several important pathological features including the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of tau protein. While this association is well established, the underlying pathogenesis is poorly defined and current treatment options remain limited, necessitating novel methods and approaches. In response we developed "TBI-on-a-chip", an trauma model utilizing murine cortical networks on microelectrode arrays (MEAs), capable of reproducing clinically relevant impact injuries while providing simultaneous morphological and electrophysiological readout.

Resting-State Functional Connectivity and Alcohol Use Disorder: A Case-Control Study.

J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci

September 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University and Peter Boris Centre for Addictions Research, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Hamilton, ON.

Objective: The authors examined differences in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in the brain between nontreatment-seeking adults with alcohol use disorder (case group) and recreational drinkers without alcohol use disorder (control group) and explored behavioral and psychological mechanisms underlying these differences.

Methods: This case-control study included 140 adults (N=71 with alcohol use disorder and N=69 demographically matched control individuals) who completed a 9-minute resting-state functional MRI scan. About 45% were men, and the mean±SD age was 32.

Aim: A total of 30% of individuals with epilepsy are resistant to drug treatment. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) shows promise for treating drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), but further research is needed to optimize DBS parameters, including stimulation frequency. This study aimed to reveal the optimal frequency for ANT-DBS by testing the real-time effects of various stimulation frequencies on the ANT among patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation.

Background: Recent research has started to uncover an important connection between immune system activity and cognitive abilities. Although correlative associations have been documented, the causal mechanisms connecting specific immune cell subpopulations to cognitive capabilities remain insufficiently characterized. Our research aimed to determine directional relationships between distinct immune cell subtypes and cognitive function, potentially identifying targets for immunomodulatory interventions.
