Open AccessDisrupted functional connectivity between sub-regions in the sensorimotor areas and cortex in migraine without aura
Migraine is a severe and disabling brain disorder, and the exact neurological mechanisms remain unclear. Migraineurs have altered pain perception, and headache attacks disrupt their sensory information process...

Open AccessStructural changes of cerebellum and brainstem in migraine without aura
Increasing evidence has suggested that the cerebellum is associated with pain and migraine. In addition, the descending pain system of the brainstem is the major site of trigeminal pain processing and modulati...

Cerebellar functional abnormalities in early stage drug-naïve and medicated Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological degenerative disorder characterized by impaired motor function and non-motor dysfunctions. While recent studies have highlighted the role of the cerebellu...

Open AccessPrevious chronic symptomatic and asymptomatic cerebral hemorrhage in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Identifying previous chronic cerebral hemorrhage (PCH), especially asymptomatic cases in patients with ischemic stroke, is essential for proper antithrombotic management. The study aimed to further clarify the...

Open AccessAssessment of gray and white matter structural alterations in migraineurs without aura
Migraine constitute a disorder characterized by recurrent headaches, and have a high prevalence, a high socio-economic burden and severe effects on quality of life. Our previous fMRI study demonstrated that so...

Open AccessRelationship between intracranial internal carotid artery calcification and enlarged cerebral perivascular space
The association between intracranial internal carotid artery (IICA) calcification and lacunes, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) has been well researched. However, enlarged cer...

The sensorimotor network dysfunction in migraineurs without aura: a resting-state fMRI study
Migraine is a common recurrent neurological disorder combining nausea, vomiting, and hypersensitivities to visual, auditory, olfactory and somatosensory stimuli. However, the dysfunction of the sensorimotor ne...

Open AccessIncreased default mode network connectivity and increased regional homogeneity in migraineurs without aura
The precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex, which has been associated with pain sensitivity, plays a pivotal role in the default mode network. However, information regarding migraine-related alterations in resti...

Pulse pressure as an independent predictor of stroke: a systematic review and a meta-analysis
Recent evidence suggests that pulse pressure (PP) is a strong cardiovascular diseases’ risk factor. We systematically evaluated all relevant studies to determine whether PP can be used as an independent predic...

Validation of 5-item and 2-item questionnaires in Chinese version of Dizziness Handicap Inventory for screening objective benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
As possible candidate screening instruments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), studies to validate the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) sub-scale (5-item and 2-item) and total scores are rare i...

Relationship between vertebral artery hypoplasia and posterior circulation stroke in Chinese patients
Vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH), which has been found in about 10 % of normal individuals, does not produce symptoms but may be associated with an increased risk of cerebral posterior circulation ischemic (P...

Value of imaging lenticulostriate arteries before middle cerebral artery stenting for the prevention of perforator stroke
In this study, we investigated whether pre-procedural imaging of LSAs would potentially be helpful for preventing LSAs from being covered.

Association of right-to-left shunt with frontal white matter lesions in T2-weighted MR imaging of stroke patients
Cardiac right-to-left shunt (RLS), mainly due to patent foramen ovale (PFO), is a risk factor for paradoxical embolism and stroke. Results of studies about brain lesions in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in ...
