贝塔thalassemia主要患者显示改变了大脑连接,在关键网络中的功能连接减少,并改变了网络之间的连接. 这些变化会影响认知,注意力和感官功能,原因是慢性贫血和缺氧.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 血液学 血液学 血液学
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 大型β-thalassemia (β-TM) 是一种遗传性血液疾病,导致慢性贫血和缺氧.
- 这些条件可以显著影响大脑功能和神经认知.
研究的目的:
- 在β-TM患者中系统评估大脑内网络功能连接 (FC) 和网络间功能连接 (FNC) 的改变.
- 使用rs-fMRI和ICA发现β-TM中神经功能障碍的潜在机制.
主要方法:

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.
01:26Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ and tau...
