A mid‐ventricular variant of Takotsubo syndrome: was it triggered by insular cortex damage?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "ESC Heart Failure"
DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13397
Abstract: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient cardiomyopathy that is often associated with cerebrovascular diseases. Earlier studies have supported the concept that the cardiovascular system is regulated by a central autonomic network (CAN) consisting of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10072-020-04917-1
Abstract: Patients with akinetic-rigid Parkinson’s disease (AR-PD) are more prone to cognitive decline and depressive symptoms than tremor-dominant PD (TD-PD) patients. The right fronto-insular cortex (rFIC), as a key node of salience network, plays a critical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2017.11.036
Abstract: ABSTRACT Cortical electrical stimulation (CES) has shown to be an effective therapeutic alternative for neuropathic pain refractory to pharmacological treatment. The primary motor cortex(M1) was the main cortical target used in the vast majority of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2018.09.009
Abstract: The current view of the neurobiology of learning and memory suggests that long-term memory (LTM) depends not only on the de novo protein synthesis but also on the synthesis of mRNA even hours after the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.02.033
Abstract: Our motor behavior can be affected by proprioceptive information. However, little is known about which brain circuits contribute to this process. We have recently revealed that the proprioceptive information arising from jaw-closing muscle spindles (JCMSs)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2020.146720
Abstract: In the pain matrix, the insular cortex (IC) is mainly involved in discriminative sensory and motivative emotion. Abnormal signal transmission from injury site causes neuropathic pain, which generates enhanced synaptic plasticity. The mammalian target of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2018.01.005
Abstract: Interoceptive signals, such as the heartbeat, are processed in a network of brain regions including the insular cortex. Recent studies have shown that such signals modulate perceptual and cognitive processing, and that they impact visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2019.04.017
Abstract: BACKGROUND Damage to the insula disrupts nicotine-induced cravings and is associated with greater odds of cessation. The role of laterality in regulating these changes is unclear. Neuroimaging studies in cigarette smokers show left hemispheric activation… read more here.
