Whole-brain gray matter volume and fractional anisotropy of the posterior thalamic radiation and sagittal stratum in healthy adults correlate with the local environment by Keisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto, Toshiharu Ikaga, Yoshinori Yamakawa

“…Our findings reveal that a favorable environment is positively correlated with gray matter volume (GMV) in the frontal and occipital lobes, cerebellum, and whole brain, as well as with fractional anisotropy (FA) in the fornix (including the fornix stria terminalis), posterior thalamic radiation (PTR), sagittal stratum (SS), and whole brain. …”

Action inflexibility and compulsive-like behavior accompany neurobiological alterations in the anterior orbitofrontal cortex and associated striatal nuclei by Laura M. Butkovich, Sophie T. Yount, Aylet T. Allen, Esther H. Seo, Andrew M. Swanson, Shannon L. Gourley

“…Experimentally bred mice suffer excitatory dendritic spine attrition, as well as changes in inhibitory synapse-associated proteins, GAD67/GAD1 and SLITRK3, largely in the anterior and not posterior OFC (or medial frontal cortex). They also display higher levels of the excitatory synaptic marker striatin in the nucleus accumbens and lower levels of the excitatory synaptic marker SAPAP3 in the dorsal striatum, striatal nuclei that receive input from the anterior OFC. …”

Clinical Whole-Body Gait Characterization Using a Single RGB-D Sensor by Lukas Boborzi, Johannes Bertram, Roman Schniepp, Julian Decker, Max Wuehr

“…Here, we present vGait, a comprehensive 3D gait assessment method using a single RGB-D sensor and state-of-the-art pose-tracking algorithms. vGait was validated in healthy participants during frontal- and sagittal-perspective walking. Performance was comparable across perspectives, with vGait achieving high accuracy in detecting initial and final foot contacts (F1 scores > 95%) and reliably quantifying spatiotemporal gait parameters (e.g., stride time, stride length) and whole-body coordination metrics (e.g., arm swing and knee angle ROM) at different levels of granularity (mean, step-to-step variability, side asymmetry). …”
