There was a significant main effect of sex in five cortical regions, where gyrification was increased in women compared to men (women > men). These regions were located on the lateral surface of the brain, specifically left rostral middle frontal (Cluster 1), left caudal middle frontal (Cluster 2), left inferior parietal (Cluster 3), right inferior...

Early and late components exhibit distinct features and are not correlated. Late responses are not characteristic of SII area only but include more complex cortico-cortical neural networks. Besides some overlapped activity in early and late responses, distinct networks participate in somatosensory brain processing. Abstract Beside the well-documented...

Estrogen plays an important role in maintaining various physiological functions of the women's body. Estrogen deficiency due to oxidative stress, hormonal disbalance and disturbance in molecular signalling pathways such as intracellular calcium, Daxx translocation, glutaminergic excitotoxicity, voltage dependent anion and insulin like growth factor...

The positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand sensitive to tau neurofibrillary tangles (18F-AV1451) also binds with iron. Here, we examined group differences in 18F-AV1451 PET after controlling for iron-sensitive measures from magnetic resonance imaging. Off-target binding of iron to the 18F-AV1451 ligand may not affect its sensitivity to Aβ...

Cerebellar rTMS improved sway index under eyes closed-foam surface condition in young healthy adults, whereas M1 rTMS did not show any improvement. Findings suggest a unique role of cerebellum in reactive balance performance during the most sensory deprived conditions. Abstract Both the primary motor cortex (M1) and the cerebellum are crucial...

Between early adolescence and adulthood, dopamine axon terminals in the anterior corpus callosum decrease in density, as evidenced by semiautomatic quantification of axons using Imaris imaging software. Furthermore, there is an effect of age on dopamine receptor transcript expression by oligodendrocyte lineage cells that is both cell- and dopamine...
