The analysis revealed that while performing working memory tasks, the young patients with concussion had initial activation that was greater than normal, known as hyperactivation, compared to young controls in the right precuneus and right inferior parietal gyrus of the brain, whereas the older patients had hypoactivation (less than normal) compared to older controls in the right precuneus and right inferior frontal gyrus.

All contrasts were limited to the brain locations within the supplementary motor area and the parahippocampal gyrus, as defined in the Harvard — Oxford Cortical Structural Atlas (available in FSL software), and a threshold was established, with gaussian random - fields theory, at a cluster - level z value of more than 2.3 (corrected P < 0.05).

Conversely, the imagery period as compared with the rest period for questions 2 and 3 was associated with extensive activation of the parahippocampal gyrus and, to a lesser extent, the supplementary motor area; these findings closely matched the activation seen in the spatial localizer scan.

In this subject, the activation associated with the imagery period as compared with the rest period for question 1 resulted in extensive activation in the supplementary motor area and minimal activity in the parahippocampal gyrus (Figure 4).

The bottom sets of scans obtained from the patient (Panel C) and the control subject (Panel D) show activation (blue) resulting from the spatial imagery task (cued with the word «navigation») as compared with rest periods, as well as the time course of the peak voxel in the parahippocampal gyrus.

Neurogenesis can take place only within specific regions of the brain, such as the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus.

Social network proximity was also associated with neural response similarity within areas involved in attentional allocation, such as the right superior parietal cortex30, 31, and regions in the inferior parietal lobe, such as the bilateral supramarginal gyri and left inferior parietal cortex (which includes the angular gyrus in the parcellation scheme used32), that have been implicated in bottom - up attentional control, discerning others» mental states, processing language and the narrative content of stories, and sense - making more generally33, 34,35.

Waning production of neurons and an overall shrinking of the dentate gyrus, part of the hippocampus thought to help form new episodic memories, was believed to occur in ageing humans as well.

There was no significant increase in progranulin protein levels in the frontal cortex (Fig. 4B h), thalamus (Fig. 4C i), or hippocampus (Fig. 4D j), despite observing the expected increase in doublecortin - positive neurons in the dentate gyrus (Fig. 4E t), indicating increased neurogenesis as a positive control.

As such, the current study aimed to characterize connectivity between two key regions implicated in semantic control: inferior frontal gyrus, pars triangularis (IFGtri) and posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG), during a semantic association task in four BAA and four age - matched, healthy bilingual controls (BHC).

Two of such modules are the ventral (superior parietal cortex as well as superior and medial frontal gyri) and dorsal (superior parietal cortex, superior and dorsal lateral frontal, and precentral gyri) attention networks identified by previous fMRI analyses [3].

We also found significant interactions between the right middle frontal gyrus (as seed) and the right pars triangularis / inferior frontal sulcus and bilateral AIC with respect to GRAMMATICALITY Other combinations of contrasts and seed regions did not yield significant results.

These modules include the visual (yellow), sensory / motor (orange) and basal ganglia (red) cortices as well as the default mode network (precuneus / posterior cingulate, inferior parietal lobes, and medial frontal gyrus; maroon).

Nevertheless, we could see that brain regions such as SII, insula, cingulate gyrus, amygdala / hippocampal formation and prefrontal cortices might be important when differentiating the acupuncture specific effect from sham acupuncture.
