Summary: Pediatric concussion can lead to long-term symptoms, and rs-fMRI disturbances are common in these patients. A secondary data analysis revealed sex differences in rs-fMRI connectivity, with more widespread abnormalities in females compared to males. This suggests that recovery timelines in pediatric concussion may vary by sex.

Summary: The reliability and robustness of rs-fcMRI depend on minimizing the influence of head motion on brain signals. This study examined the impact of head motion on newborn brain connectivity using a large dataset. The findings revealed that head motion significantly affected connectivity, with specific effects observed in sensory-related and default mode networks. Implementing a motion correction strategy helped reduce the confounding effects of head motion on neonatal rs-fcMRI.

Summary: A study on the developmental trajectories of the default-mode network (DMN) using longitudinal resting-state fMRI data revealed that connectivity strength and network efficiency increased from childhood to adolescence, particularly in midline structures. The identification of three subclusters within the DMN based on divergent developmental rates of nodal centrality highlights the complex developmental patterns of this network system. These findings have implications for understanding the network mechanisms underlying cognitive development in individuals.

Summary: The study reveals that resting brain entropy is negatively associated with general functionality in the default mode network (DMN) and executive control network (ECN), independently of age and sex. Furthermore, resting brain entropy in DMN/ECN increases with age but decreases with education years, suggesting it may reflect a latent functional reserve that can be enhanced by education.

Summary: The search for an ideal approach to investigate functional connections in the human brain is a challenge for neuroscience. Recent studies have found that using naturalistic stimuli to collect functional connectivity data predicts cognitive and emotional scores more accurately than using resting-state data. Furthermore, activation maps predicted using naturalistic stimuli are better predictors of individual intelligence scores than those predicted using resting-state data.

Summary: The study revealed that the default mode network (DMN) in the brain becomes more active during decision-making based on naturalistic contexts compared to symbolic cues. While anterior DMN regions are sensitive to the need for contextual control, posterior DMN regions are responsible for processing contextual content and showing stronger representation of the significance of the modulated sound.

Summary: Placing a patient under anesthesia is crucial in surgical practice, but the mechanisms by which anesthetic drugs affect consciousness are poorly understood. Using REACT, a multi-modal imaging technique, this study investigated how different levels of propofol-induced sedation affect neurotransmission-related functional connectivity. The results showed that propofol increased GABA-A and noradrenaline transporter-enriched functional connectivity in occipital and somatosensory regions, respectively. During auditory stimulation, the dopaminergic network exhibited reduced functional connectivity, particularly in bilateral temporal and mid/posterior cingulate cortices, with an interaction between auditory stimulation and level of consciousness observed in the right temporal cluster. By integrating micro- and macro-scale systems, this study provides evidence for direct GABAergic and indirect noradrenergic and dopaminergic-related network changes under propofol sedation, highlighting the utility of REACT in exploring the molecular substrates of consciousness and cognition.

Summary: In this study, fMRI was used to investigate the differences in functional connectivity across cognitive networks at rest among college students with different levels of food security. The results suggest that food insecurity is associated with poorer executive function and altered functional connectivity in specific brain regions, which may contribute to executive function difficulties in college students.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between aging and resting-state functional connectivity (FC) in people with HIV (PWH). The results show that both aging and HIV infection have independent effects on between-network FC. Furthermore, HIV infection leads to additional increases in FC, particularly between the default-mode and executive control networks. This suggests that HIV infection may cause a reorganization of major brain networks similar to aging.

Summary: Neuroimaging has been extensively used to study brain structure and function in individuals with ADHD and ASD. However, there have been limitations in the current literature, such as small sample sizes and heterogeneous methods. To address these limitations, the ENIGMA-ADHD and ENIGMA-ASD working groups were established to collaborate on large-scale neuroimaging projects. The findings so far have shown overlap and unique differences in cortical structures between ASD and ADHD. Ongoing work is exploring other research questions.

Summary: Males exhibit greater variability than females in many traits, which may have implications for understanding sex differences in health and disease. A mega-analysis of brain structure variability based on MRI data of 16,683 healthy individuals spanning nine decades of life reveals significant patterns of greater male than female between-subject variance in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and cortical thickness. These sex differences are present in childhood and may be influenced by early life genetic or gene-environment interaction mechanisms. The findings underscore the importance of individual differences within each sex, which may contribute to sex-specific vulnerability to disorders.

Summary: Recent large-scale analysis found no evidence of altered caudate nucleus asymmetry in ADHD, but children with ADHD showed less rightward asymmetry of total hemispheric surface area. Adults with ADHD also exhibited altered globus pallidus asymmetry. However, the effects were small and not significant after correcting for multiple testing, suggesting that altered structural brain asymmetry may not serve as a useful biomarker for ADHD.

Summary: This study found that the fractal dynamics of BOLD signal during movie-watching are higher compared to rest. Higher Hurst exponent (H) values indicate greater fractal properties in the signal structure. Specifically, the visual, somatomotor, and dorsal attention networks showed higher H values during movie-watching, while the frontoparietal and default networks showed lower H values. The fractal properties were observed in movie-derived stimulus properties, such as luminance changes, but not in head motion estimates.

Summary: The hippocampus plays a crucial role in our sense of self and our place in the world. Through gradient analysis on resting state fMRI data, we found two major functional connectivity gradients in the hippocampus. One showed a sharp discontinuity, while the other was more continuous. The dorsal region was more strongly connected to areas involved in spatial navigation, while the ventral region was more strongly connected to areas involved in emotion. Gene co-expression gradients, however, showed a more segregated and discrete organization.

Summary: Head motion, especially in developmental fMRI studies, poses a major problem. This study analyzed a large dataset to characterize pediatric head motion in space, frequency, and time. The findings revealed different motion patterns between high and low/medium movers, as well as a second type of motion related to respiration rates. The study also found differences in motion between males and females and in different conditions. These findings have important implications for future study designs and motion reduction strategies.

Summary: Addressing the climate crisis requires radical and urgent action at all levels of society. Universities, in particular, have a responsibility to take the lead in such action, but they are falling short. Academic scientists also face obstacles such as bureaucracy and excessive competition, hindering their work. Drawing on Doughnut Economics, we propose new principles for scientific practice and urge academics to create a scientific enterprise that is capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century.
