ABSTRACT Objective Patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis suffer from a severe neuropsychiatric syndrome, yet most patients show no abnormalities in routine magnetic resonance imaging. In contrast, advanced neuroimaging studies have consistently identified disrupted functional connectivity these patients, recent work suggesting increased volatility of state dynamics. Here, we investigate network dynamics through the spatiotemporal trajectory meta-state transitions, yielding time-resolved account brain exploration encephalitis. Methods Resting-state imaging data were acquired 73 NMDAR and age- sex-matched healthy controls. Time-resolved was clustered into meta-states, giving rise to transition graph states as nodes transitions between meta-states weighted, directed edges. Network topology, robustness, cost networks compared groups.

Importantly, alterations correlated disease severity.

Abstract Introduction Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is characterized by distinct structural and functional brain alterations, predominantly affecting the medial temporal lobes hippocampus. Structural connectome analysis with graph-based investigations of network properties allows for an in-depth characterization global local changes their relationship clinical deficits in NMDAR encephalitis. Objective To investigate connectivity efficiency use probabilistic whole-brain tractography graph theoretical networks. Methods networks from sixty-one patients post-acute stage (median time acute hospital discharge: 18 months) age- sex-matched healthy controls (HC) were analyzed using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-based anatomically-constrained spherical deconvolution-informed filtering tractograms. We calculated global, modular, nodal measures indicative reorganization special focus on default-mode network, lobe, Pathologically altered metrics included multiple regression analyses to potential association course, disease severity, cognitive outcome. Results Patients showed regular metrics, but bilateral reductions hippocampal node strength (left: p =0.049; right: =0.013) increased right precuneus ( compared HC.

Eine Autoimmunenzephalitis ist eine entzündliche Erkrankung des zentralen Nervensystems, die neben neurologischen Symptomen häufig und teils sogar vorwiegend durch psychiatrische Symptome gekennzeichnet sein kann. Bei überwiegend psychiatrischer Manifestation wird sie als „psychiatrische Autoimmunenzephalitis“ bezeichnet. Die Übersicht zeigt den aktuellen Stand zur Pathogenese Diagnostik sowie verschiedene Therapiemöglichkeiten der Immuntherapie auch Psychopharmakologie.

Patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis often experience severe symptoms. Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) has revealed widespread impairment of networks in patients. However, the changes information flow remain unclear. This study aims to investigate intrinsic connectivity (FC) both within and between resting-state (RSNs), as well alterations effective (EC) these networks. data were collected from 25 patients anti-NMDAR 30 healthy controls (HCs) matched for age, sex, educational level. Changes RSNs analyzed using independent component analysis (ICA). The interaction was identified by granger causality (GCA). Compared HCs, exhibited lower performance on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), terms correct numbers categories. Additionally, demonstrated decreased scores Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Neuroimaging studies abnormal intra-FC default mode network (DMN), increased visual (VN) dorsal attention (DAN), inter-FC VN frontoparietal (FPN). Furthermore, aberrant observed among DMN, DAN, FPN, VN, somatomotor (SMN). displayed noticeable deficits memory executive function. Notably, impairments intra-FC, inter-FC, EC. These results may help explain pathophysiological mechanism encephalitis.

ABSTRACT Background Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed complex and heterogeneous patterns of aberrant functional connectivity (FC) in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet it remains unclear how time-resolved FC relates to variance clinical disease severity. Objectives To characterize brain activity MS patients with analysis explore the relationship between severity, multi-domain impairments, altered network dynamics. Methods Resting-state MRI data were acquired from 101 age- sex-matched healthy controls (HC). Dynamic identified five states that compared HC high vs. low disability. Results Patients higher severity exhibited a more widespread spatiotemporal pattern spent time high-connectivity, low-occurrence state lower HC. Depressive symptom was positively related dynamics on global scales patients, while fatigue motor impairment inversely frontoparietal basal ganglia. Conclusions Time-resolved uncovered alterations correlations remained undetected static account activity. Such time-varying approaches are thus crucial for disentangling dynamics, symptoms MS.
