An enduring issue with data-driven analysis and filtering methods is the interpretation of results. To assist, we present an automatic method for identification of artifact in independent components (ICs) derived from functional M RI (fMRI). The method was designed with the following features: does not require temporal information about an fMRI paradigm; does not require the user to train the algorithm; requires only the fMRI images (additional acquisition of anatomical imaging not required); is able to identify a high proportion of artifact-related ICs without removing components that are likely to be of neuronal origin; can be applied to resting-state fMRI; is automated, requiring minimal or no human intervention. We applied the method to a MELODIC probabilistic ICA of resting-state functional connectivity data acquired in 50 healthy control subjects, and compared the results to a blinded expert manual classification. The method identified between 26 and 72% of the components as artifact (mean 55%). About 0.3% of components identified as artifact were discordant with the manual classification; retrospective examination of these ICs suggested the automated method had correctly identified these as artifact. We have developed an effective automated method which removes a substantial number of unwanted noisy components in ICA analyses of resting-state fMRI data. Source code of our implementation of the method is available.

Temporal complexity of fMRI is reproducible and correlates with higher order cognition

Amir Omidvarnia, Andrew Zalesky, Sina L. Mansour, Dimitri Van de Ville, Graeme D. Jackson, Mangor Pedersen

Summary: The study quantified multiscale entropy of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data in different brain regions, revealing high temporal complexity in default mode and frontoparietal networks, and lower temporal complexity in subcortical areas and the limbic system. Test-retest analysis demonstrated reproducibility of results across individuals, highlighting the relationship between functional brain connectivity strengths and changes in rsfMRI temporal complexity over time scales.

Automatic detection of generalized paroxysmal fast activity in interictal EEG using time-frequency analysis

Amir Omidvarnia, Aaron E. L. Warren, Linda J. Dalic, Mangor Pedersen, Graeme Jackson

Summary: Automated detection of generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA), a generalized IED seen in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), was successfully developed using time-frequency information derived from manually marked IEDs in scalp EEG recordings. EEG-fMRI analysis of automatically detected events showed comparable results to manual IED markup, demonstrating the validity of this approach. The proposed framework offers a fast, automated, and objective method for inspection of generalized IEDs in LGS and potentially other epilepsy syndromes.

Summary: The study identified elevated fractions of microglia and endothelial cells in regions of reduced cortical thickness, with differentially expressed genes showing enrichment for microglial markers, particularly activated microglial states. Findings suggest that activated microglia may play a role in cortical thinning in epilepsy.

Summary: The study revealed that FCDs are unevenly distributed across the cerebral cortex and different lesion locations have significant impact on surgical outcomes. Lesions in the temporal and occipital lobes tend to be larger than frontal lobe lesions, leading to varying rates of seizure freedom post surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of resective epilepsy surgery on productivity in adults and explored factors that positively influence productivity outcomes. The results indicate that resective surgery significantly improves overall productivity. Factors associated with increased post-surgery employment risk include lower pre-surgical employment, shorter follow-up duration, and lower mean age at the time of surgery.

Summary: This study analyzed the structural abnormalities of white matter fiber tracts in patients with bottom-of-sulcus dysplasia (BOSD) and found widespread abnormalities despite the focal nature of the dysplasia. High seizure frequency was associated with greater reduction in fiber density. The results demonstrate a bilaterally distributed, specific white matter network that is vulnerable to disruption in BOSD.

Summary: Using data from a large multicenter cross-sectional cohort, this study found a sequential regional morphometric changes pattern in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis, which is correlated with clinical features. A disease progression model was reconstructed from cross-sectional MRI data, highlighting a sequence of MRI changes consistent with previous longitudinal studies.

Summary: This study collected normative data from 101 adults aged 18-45, finding that performance on the Spatial Learning Task is not influenced by factors such as age, gender, education level, or overall IQ. The data showed that 90% of participants achieved perfect scores within five or fewer trials on the task.

Summary: This study demonstrates that fixel-based analysis can detect tract-specific abnormalities associated with acute sports-related concussion. The findings suggest that these abnormalities may be compatible with cytotoxic oedema and normalize within 12 days after injury. However, subtle abnormalities may persist in the subacute stage.

Summary: Patients with left and right temporal lobe epilepsy demonstrate significant impairments in future thinking ability, which has important implications for treatment decision-making. The cognitive ability to envision future events is compromised in temporal lobe epilepsy, likely due to impaired memory and language functions.

Summary: This study compared the spatial distribution of grey matter asymmetry and atrophy in temporal lobe epilepsy using the ENIGMA-Epilepsy dataset. The results showed marked differences between the two measures, with asymmetry revealing anomalies in ipsilateral limbic circuits and atrophy displaying diffuse and bilateral patterns. Additionally, cortical atrophy was correlated with disease duration and age at seizure onset.

Tetraplegic obstructive sleep apnoea patients dilate the airway similarly to able-bodied obstructive sleep apnoea patients

Alice Hatt, Elizabeth Brown, David J. Berlowitz, Fergal O'Donoghue, Hailey Meaklim, Alan Connelly, Graeme Jackson, Kate Sutherland, Peter A. Cistulli, Bon San Bonne Lee, Lynne E. Bilston

Summary: Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) exhibit heterogeneous pharyngeal dilator muscle responses during quiet breathing, similar to non-SCI OSA patients. However, as a group, SCI OSA patients appear to be more similar to non-SCI OSA patients than to healthy controls of similar age and BMI. This may indicate altered pharyngeal pressure reflex responses in some individuals with SCI.
