Cortico-spinal Mechanisms of TENS-induced Analgesia: A Single-Blind, Three-Arm, fMRI-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

This paper compares two TENS modes, showing they reduce pain via distinct cortico-spinal mechanisms, with Conventional TENS involving spinal inhibition and Acupuncture-Like TENS relying on top-down modulation.

Thalamic Network Controllability Predicts Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis

This study shows that reduced thalamic network controllability in MS patients predicts cognitive impairment better than thalamic volume.

Body size interacts with the structure of the central nervous system: A multi-center in vivo neuroimaging study

This study shows body size parameters significantly correlate with brain and spinal cord MRI metrics and should be included in neuroimaging studies.

Morphological brain networks of white matter: mapping, evaluation, characterization and application

This paper develops a method to construct morphological white matter networks from MRI data, showing they are reliable, heritable, and predictive of various brain features and diseases.

Probing individual-level structural atrophy in frontal glioma patients

This study introduces an individual-level structural abnormality detection method for frontal glioma patients and finds unique and shared atrophy patterns linked to molecular biomarkers.

A Multisite and Multimodal Comparative Study of Cerebellar Connectome Between Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

This study compares cerebellar connectome alterations between multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders using multimodal MRI data from multiple sites.
