Network-level macroscale structural connectivity predicts propagation of transcranial magnetic stimulation by Davide Momi, Recep A. Ozdemir, Ehsan Tadayon, Pierre Boucher, Mouhsin M. Shafi, Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Emiliano Santarnecchi

“…TMS-evoked activity was predicted by the modularity and structural integrity of the stimulated network rather than the targeted region(s) or the whole-brain connectivity, suggesting network-level structural connectivity as more relevant than local and global brain properties in shaping TMS signal propagation. …”

Ubiquitin Fusion Degradation Protein 1 as a Blood Marker for The Early Diagnosis of Ischemic Stroke by Laure Allard, Natacha Turck, Pierre R. Burkhard, Nadia Walter, Anna Rosell, Marianne Gex-Fabry, Denis F. Hochstrasser, Joan Montaner, Jean-Charles Sanchez

“…Ubiquitin fusion degradation protein 1 is increased in human postmortem CSF, a model of global brain insult, suggesting that its measurement in blood may prove useful as a biomarker of stroke.Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure UFD1 in plasma and sera in three independent cohorts, European (Swiss and Spanish) and North-American retrospective analysis encompassing a total of 123 consecutive stroke and 90 control subjects.Results: Highly significant increase of ubiquitin fusion degradation protein 1 (UFD1) was found in Swiss stroke patients with 71% sensitivity (95% CI, 52–85.8%), and 90% specificity (95% CI, 74.2–98%) (N = 31, p < 0.0001). …”

The Emerging Role of NaF-PET/CT in Detecting Vascular Microcalcification in the Pathogenesis of Neurological Dysfunction by Eric M. Teichner, Robert C. Subtirelu, Arjun B. Ashok, Yvonne Su, Victoria A. Anderson, Milo Writer, Omar Al-Daoud, Miraziz Ismoilov, William Y. Raynor, Thomas J. Werner, Poul F. Høilund-Carlsen, Abass Alavi, Mona-Elisabeth Revheim

“…Elevated NaF uptake within the bilateral carotid arteries signified substantial ongoing vascular microcalcification. Reduced global brain metabolism and region-specific hypometabolism measured with FDG PET indicated potential cerebrovascular mechanisms that may be influencing neurological function. …”
