“…In the present study, dALFF was lower in the right lingual gyrus in active TAO patients than that in HCs, which is consistent with the previous finding of reduced FC between the contralateral MTG and bilateral calcarine/lingual gyri (Wen et al, 2022). This suggested that the ventral stream, which processes faces, was impaired (Reisch et al, 2022). The dorsal visual stream starts from V1 and projects to the posterior parietal cortex, which is important for binocular vision fusion, and has predominant advantages in decoding the disparities present in 3D images.…”

Purpose: Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune disease that affects the orbit and is the most prevalent extra-thyroidal complication of Graves’ disease. Previous neuroimaging studies have focused on abnormal static regional activity and functional connectivity in patients with TAO. However, the characteristics of local brain activity over time are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate alterations in the dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dALFF) in patients with active TAO and to distinguish patients with TAO from healthy controls (HCs) using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier.Methods: A total of 21 patients with TAO and 21 HCs underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. dALFFs were calculated in conjunction with sliding window approaches to assess dynamic regional brain activity and to compare the groups. Then, we used SVM, a machine learning algorithm, to determine whether dALFF maps may be used as diagnostic indicators for TAO.Results: Compared with HCs, patients with active TAO showed decreased dALFF in the right calcarine, lingual gyrus, superior parietal lobule, and precuneus. The SVM model showed an accuracy of 45.24%–47.62% and area under the curve of 0.35–0.44 in distinguishing TAO from HCs. No correlation was found between clinical variables and regional dALFF.Conclusion: Patients with active TAO showed altered dALFF in the visual cortex and the ventral and dorsal visual pathways, providing further details on the pathogenesis of TAO.

“…The literature has emphasized the role of this area in processing social experiences (Haruno and Kawato 2009;Shinoura et al 2011;Toller et al 2015;Ong et al 2021;Su et al 2022), with the temporal region playing a key role in social memory and the retrieval of information pertaining to prior social experiences (Okuyama et al 2016), Theory of Mind or mentalization during human interactions (Frith and Frith 2003), facial expression interpretation (Reisch et al 2022), and visualization of friends' faces and voices (Lee Masson and Isik 2021. The concept of social play is not exclusive to humans; as illustrated in the review by Kellman and Radwan (2022), it is an innate and universal behaviour that represents an intrinsic need for all mammals, allowing individuals to cultivate their social, cognitive and communicative skills.…”

“…In contrast, there are not many studies on imagery of social experiences and interactions. Regarding the neural circuits of the 'social brain', the literature points to the medial prefrontal cortex, which represents stereotypes, prejudices and social characteristics of people (Proverbio et al 2017;Ray et al 2008;Shamay-Tsoory et al 2009;Tsuchida and Fellows 2012;Proudfit 2015;Molenberghs et al 2016;Nejati et al 2021); the insula, which plays a key role in experiencing emotions and processing social cues (Calder et al 2000;Pugnaghi et al 2011;Knutson et al 2013;Boucher et al 2015;Li et al 2020); the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is involved in the regulation of emotional and social processes (Hornak et al 2003;Hadland et al 2003) and the temporal lobe, which plays an important role in encoding facial expressions, recognising familiar faces and voices, and regulating social behaviour (Toller et al 2015;Redcay et al 2016;Ong et al 2021;Lee Masson and Isik 2021;Reisch et al 2022;Su et al 2022).…”

The literature has demonstrated the potential for detecting accurate electrical signals that correspond to the will or intention to move, as well as decoding the thoughts of individuals who imagine houses, faces or objects. This investigation examines the presence of precise neural markers of imagined motivational states through the combining of electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods. 20 participants were instructed to vividly imagine the desire to move, listen to music or engage in social activities. Their EEG was recorded from 128 scalp sites and analysed using individual standardized Low-Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomographies (LORETAs) in the N400 time window (400–600 ms). The activation of 1056 voxels was examined in relation to the 3 motivational states. The most active dipoles were grouped in eight regions of interest (ROI), including Occipital, Temporal, Fusiform, Premotor, Frontal, OBF/IF, Parietal, and Limbic areas. The statistical analysis revealed that all motivational imaginary states engaged the right hemisphere more than the left hemisphere. Distinct markers were identified for the three motivational states. Specifically, the right temporal area was more relevant for “Social Play”, the orbitofrontal/inferior frontal cortex for listening to music, and the left premotor cortex for the “Movement” desire. This outcome is encouraging in terms of the potential use of neural indicators in the realm of brain-computer interface, for interpreting the thoughts and desires of individuals with locked-in syndrome.
