TL;DR: A technique termed 'lesion network mapping', which uses connectome data from a large cohort of healthy subjects to test whether lesion locations causing cervical dystonia map to a common brain network, lends insight into the causal neuroanatomical substrate of cervical Dystonia and demonstrates convergence across idiopathic and acquired dySTONia.

TL;DR: Individual-specific functional connectivity analyses revealed important new distinctions among cortical circuits responsible for the positive and negative symptoms, as well as key new information about how circuits underlying symptom expressions may vary depending on the underlying etiology and illness syndrome from which they manifest.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that not only the connectivity but also the size and position of functional regions are related to human behavior, which suggests that identifying homologous functional regions across individuals can benefit a wide range of studies in the investigation of connectivity, task activation, and brain-behavior associations.

TL;DR: Analysis of the functional connectome using an individually applicable resting-state fMRI marker revealed that abnormalities of functional connectivity could be detected not only adjacent to the visible lesion but also in distant brain tissue, even in the contralesional hemisphere, associated with tumor biology and cognitive function.

TL;DR: Using a novel 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐compatible stimulator, whole‐brain effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation in patients with Parkinson disease are investigated.
