- Cognitive Control Network and Language Reorganization in Patients with Brain Tumors
The authors investigated the participation of cognitive control network (CCN) in tumor-induced language reorganization. The results showed that the CCN is involved in language reorganization and is associated with improved speech after surgery.
- Deep Medullary Vein Integrity and Relationships with Small Vessel Disease and Interstitial Diffusivity Measures in Patients with a Recent Small Subcortical Infarct
In this retrospective observational study, the authors assessed how DMV integrity relates to MRI-based SVD severity markers and glymphatic function assessed by DTI measures in patients with a recent small subcortical infarct. DMV disruption demonstrated a weak association with SVD, influenced by confounding factors, and a strong relationship with microstructural WM integrity and free water content, suggesting the potential involvement of extracellular fluid in mechanisms leading to vein disruption.
