概括
视网膜脱落 (RD) 患者表现出大脑连接的改变,特别是在视觉皮层. 动态功能连接 (dFC) 的这些变化可能有助于诊断RD,并影响视觉处理.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 医疗成像医学成像
- 眼科医生 眼科 眼科
背景情况:
- 以前的研究表明,视网膜脱落 (RD) 患者的大脑活动发生变化,重点关注局部变化.
- 在RD患者中,初级视觉皮层 (V1) 内的定向功能连接性尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 研究RD患者在V1区域内动态功能连接 (dFC) 的方向变化.
- 通过机器学习探索这些连接变化的诊断潜力.
主要方法:
- 基于种子的功能连接性和格兰杰因果分析被用来评估dFC和动态有效连接性 (dEC).
- 一个支持向量机算法分类了RD患者和健康对照 (HCs).
主要成果:
- 在视觉网络 (VN) 和默认模式网络 (DMN) 之间以及在VN内,RD患者的dFC/dEC呈现较高.
- 观察到VN与听觉网络 (AN) 之间的dFC降低,VN与感觉运动网络 (SMN) 之间的dEC降低.
- 从左侧V1区域的dFC变化实现了0.786的诊断AUC.
结论:
- 在RD患者中存在VN-DMN连接的显著变化,可能会影响视觉处理和认知.

Vision
53.1K
Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...
