The extended functional neuroanatomy of emotional processing biases for masked faces in major depressive disorder. by Teresa A Victor, Maura L Furey, Stephen J Fromm, Patrick S F Bellgowan, Arne Öhman, Wayne C Drevets

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Depressed and healthy participants showed distinct hemodynamic responses to masked-sad and masked-happy faces in neural circuits known to support the processing of emotionally valenced stimuli and to integrate the sensory and visceromotor aspects of emotional behavior. Altered function within these networks in MDD may establish and maintain illness-associated differences in the salience of sensory/social stimuli, such that attention is biased toward negative and away from positive stimuli.…”

The mediating role of intrinsic capacity in balance and falls among older adults by Yao Cui, Jian Zhou, Qian Liu, Hui Ye, Bo Liu

“…Patients underwent the sensory organization test and limits of stability test. (1) Using fall history as a binary dependent variable and various balance indicators as independent variables, visual (VIS) (p = 0.011, OR 0.957), vestibular function (p < 0.001, OR 0.958), and direction control (p = 0.042, OR 0.967) were negatively associated with falls. (2) After incorporating IC scores, sensory function (p < 0.001, OR 0.154), SPPB (p = 0.003, OR 0.758), and SOT-Composite (p < 0.001, OR 0.900) were negatively associated with falls, while SAS (p = 0.008, OR 1.068) was positively associated with falls. (3) IC score mediated the relationship between movement velocity (MVL) and falls. …”
