“…[21][22][23][24] A systematic study of MHE therapy with rifaximin was performed by our group in which we found a significant improvement in cognitive performance. 25 This was accompanied by an enhanced working memory performance via facilitation of the functioning of subcortical structures, greater inhibitory control by modulation of fronto-parietal activation, and improved white matter integrity in MHE after rifaximin on multi-modal brain MR imaging. We also found improved neural network connectivity between frontal and parietal structures and, in particular, facilitation of the left parietal operculum.…”
