BackgroundAs a complex subjective experience, pain processing may be related to functional integration among intrinsic connectivity networks of migraine patients without aura. However, few study focused on the pattern alterations in the intrinsic connectivity networks of migraine patients without aura.ResultsThirty-one migraine patients without aura and 31 age- and education-matched healthy controls participated in this study. After identifying the default mode network, central executive network and salience network as core intrinsic connectivity networks by using independent component analysis, functional connectivity, and effective connectivity during the resting state were used to investigate the abnormalities in intrinsic connectivity network interactions. Migraine patients without aura showed decreased functional connectivity among intrinsic connectivity networks compared with healthy controls. The strength of causal influences from the right frontoinsular cortex to the right anterior cingulate cortex became weaker, and the right frontoinsular cortex to the right medial prefrontal cortex became stronger in migraine patients without aura.ConclusionsThese changes suggested that the salience network may play a major role in the pathophysiological features of migraine patients without aura and helped us to synthesize previous findings into an aberrant network dynamical framework.

Decreased inhibition control ability and increased craving may be the most important causes of relapsing in smoking. Although inhibition control defects in young smokers were investigated, the effects of short-term abstinence on inhibition control in young smokers were still unclear. Thirty young smokers participated in the present study. The EEG signals during the Go/NoGo task were recorded in both satiety and 12 h abstinence conditions. The task performances were observed and compared between the two conditions. Event-related potential (ERP) analysis was used to investigate changes in N200 and P300 amplitude and latency induced by 12 h of abstinence. After 12 h of abstinence, the latency of N200 was prolonged in young smokers. No significant changes were found in the number of NoGo errors and the response time of Go in young smokers after 12 h of abstinence. Correlation analysis showed that the N200 latency of abstinence condition was significantly correlated with the number of NoGo errors and the response time of Go in the abstinence condition. The present findings may improve the understanding of the effect of short-term abstinence in young smokers. We suggested that the latency of N200 may be associated with inefficient inhibitory control of the abstinence condition in young smokers. Our results may contribute new insights into the neural mechanism of nicotine abstinence in young smokers.

Objective. It has become a very difficult task for cameras to complete real-time crowd counting under congestion conditions. Methods. This paper proposes a DRC-ConvLSTM network, which combines a depth-aware model and depth-adaptive Gaussian kernel to extract the spatial-temporal features and depth-level matching of crowd depth space edge constraints in videos, and finally achieves satisfactory crowd density estimation results. The model is trained with weak supervision on a training set of point-labeled images. The design of the detector is to propose a deep adaptive perception network DRD-NET, which can better initialize the size and position of the head detection frame in the image with the help of density map and RGBD-adaptive perception network. Results. The results show that our method achieves the best performance in RGBD dense video crowd counting on five labeled sequence datasets; the MICC dataset, CrowdFlow dataset, FDST dataset, Mall dataset, and UCSD dataset were evaluated to verify its effectiveness. Conclusion. The experimental results show that the proposed DRD-NET model combined with DRC-ConvLSTM outperforms the existing video crowd counting ConvLSTM model, and the effectiveness of the parameters of each part of the model is further proved by ablation experiments.

At present, a large number of off-line videos is stored in the server of surveillance network. In order to retrieve the target face in these massive videos frames, the face retrieval system is designed. A new Quadruplet Network is constructed by changing the RELU structure of CNN network and training the new Quadruplet Network to acquire the depth features. Join with the online fugitive face picture that launched online to initiate the wanted, with the help of the depth feature contrast to launch the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). The new Quadruplet Network converges faster than familiar networks such as Alexnet, Googlenet, VGGNet and ResNet. Because of the shared weight design of the network, the retrieval has a high precision, recall and the retrieval rate. Image depth features can be shared quickly online between the cameras. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective, with an accuracy of 98.74% and a precision of 99.54%, and a frame rate of 28 FPS.
