Bilateral cingulotomy is a procedure applied to patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). This report presents the structural changes occurring within the forceps minor and arcuate fascicles nerve fibers after a successful bilateral an...
Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) studies have reported abnormalities in emotion regulation circuits in BD; however, no study has examined the contribution of previous illness on these mechanisms. Using global probabilistic tractography, we...
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a severe disorder characterized by high relapse rates and decreased quality of life. An effective strategy in the management of TRD is deep brain stimulation (DBS), a technique consisting of the implantation of...
This prospective study investigated white matter tracts associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS) severity in 69 patients with primary RLS using correlational tractography based on diffusion tensor imaging. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and quantitat...
Background: We propose a three-dimensional path-planning method to generate optimized surgical trajectories for steering flexible needles along curved paths while avoiding critical tracts in the context of surgical glioma resection. Methods: Our appr...
This study investigated the characteristics of cognitive impairment in patients with white matter lesions (WMLs) caused by cerebral small vessel disease and the corresponding changes in WM microstructures. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data of 50 pa...
This study employed a two-step Mendelian randomization analysis to explore the causal relationship between telomere length, as a marker of aging, and anorexia nervosa and to evaluate the mediating role of changes in the white matter microstructure ac...
Background: The implementation of robotics in liver surgery offers several advantages compared to conventional open and laparoscopic techniques. One major advantage is the enhanced degree of freedom at the tip of the robotic tools compared to laparos...
(1) Background: Growing evidence indicates that inflammation can induce neural circuit dysfunction and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD). Nevertheless, whether inflammation affects the integrity of white matter...
The cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is one of the main causes of vascular and mixed cognitive impairment (CI), and it is associated, in particular, with brain ageing. An understanding of structural tissue changes in an intact cerebral white matt...
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in persistent cognitive impairment and psychiatric symptoms, while lesion location and severity are not consistent with its clinical complaints. Previous studies found cognitive deficits and psyc...
