Hubs, influencers, and communities of executive functions: a task-based fMRI graph analysis by Alexandra T. Davis

“…IntroductionThis study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning—initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory—using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.MethodsWe used healthy adults’ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.ResultsThe bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function. …”

Exploring the relationship between creatine supplementation and renal function: insights from Mendelian randomization analysis by Bing Zhou, Minping Hong, Liqin Jin, Keng Ling

“…A total of 1129 participants responded to the survey, and chi-square tests were utilized for data analysis. To explore the potential association between creatine levels (as the exposure) and renal function (as the outcome), we utilized open-access genetic databases, and Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques were used to confirm this correlation.Results Chi-square analysis revealed no significant association between creatine usage and renal function among the participants. …”
