概括
休息状态的fMRI揭示了急性中风后失语症 (PSA) 患者的功能连接 (FC) 受到干扰,脑网络通信发生变化与失语症严重程度相关. 这些发现凸显了FC的重要地位.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 神经学 神经学
背景情况:
- 急性中风后失言症 (PSA) 带来了重大的沟通挑战.
- 了解PSA的神经支对于有效治疗至关重要.
- 休息状态功能磁共振成像 (rs-fMRI) 提供了对大脑网络功能的洞察.
研究的目的:
- 在急性PSA患者的语言和非语言大脑网络中研究功能连接 (FC),使用rs-fMRI.
- 探索PSA中FC变化和临床表现 (失言症严重程度) 之间的关系.
- 为了确定特定的大脑区域和参与PSA病变的网络.
主要方法:
- 招募了20名急性PSA患者和30名健康对照 (HC) 用于rs-fMRI.
- 使用西方失语电池 (WAB) 计算PSA患者的失语率 (AQ).
- 采用格兰杰因果关系和REST加软件用于对选定的ROI进行FC分析,包括Broca和Wernicke的面积同类.
主要成果:
- 在PSA患者中,右中额头 (RMFG) 和左中尾 (LMOG) 之间的FC增加,与AQ正相关.
- 在布罗卡的区域同类和左中额头 (LMFG) 之间观察到减少的FC.
- 在Wernicke的区域同类和小脑虫之间发现了增强的FC,同样与AQ正相关.
结论:
- 急性PSA的特点是中断的半球间FC,影响语言网络.
- 在PSA患者中,失言症的严重程度与多个大脑区域的改变FC相关.
- FC模式为理解和潜在治疗PSA提供了潜在的生物标志物.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
884
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Language and Cognition
353
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Lateralization
342
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
