Abstract Background: Surgery and chemotherapy can cause emotional disorders in patients with rectal cancer (RC). However, few comprehensive studies are conducted on RC patients associated alterations in the topological organization of structural and functional networks. Methods: Resting-state functional MRI and Diffusion tensor imaging data were collected from 36 RC patients with surgery and chemotherapy and 32 healthy controls (HC). Functional network (FN) was constructed from extracting average time courses for 246 regions of interest (ROI) and structural network (SN) was established by deterministic tractography. Graph theoretical analysis was used to calculate small-worldness property, clustering coefficients, shortest path length and network efficiency. Additionally, we assess network resilient on FN and SN. Results: Abnormal small-worldness property of FN and SN were found in RC patients. The FN and SN exhibited increased local efficiency and global efficiency respectively in RC patients.The increased nodal efficiency in RC patients were mainly found in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe and limbic lobe for FN and SN, while the decreased nodal efficiency were distributed in subcortical nuclei, parietal lobe and limbic lobe only for SN. In network resilient analysis, the RC patients showed less resilient to targeted or random node deletion in both networks compared with HC. Moreover, FN is more robust than SN for all participants. Conclusions: This study revealed that topological organizations of the FN and SN may be disrupted in RC patients. Brain network reorganization is a compensation mechanism for brain impairment after surgery and chemotherapy.

The object and scope of this paper are to detail the results of a full investigation into the minute structure of the cerebral cortex in the Pig, and to add such notes upon the histology of the same structure in the Sheep and Cat as will suffice for a fair comparative view of those divergencies in fundamental structure which present themselves between the brain of these animals and that of the highest members of the Mammalian series. Attention has been especially directed to the greater mass formed by the parietal, frontal, and upper arc of the limbic lobe, the inferior arc of the limbic lobe (gyrus hippocampi) and the olfactory lobe being left for subsequent examination. The method adopted has been that of slicing the hemispheres of fresh brain from end to end upon the freezing microtome, and examining each individual section, both in the fresh state and after preservation, by a method already described. Tables containing details of the dimensions of cells and depth of layers accompany the paper, being collated at the end for convenience of reference. The Convolutions of the Brain In the Pig. The regional distribution of ganglionic cells in the cortex of this animal constitutes so important a portion of our inquiry that, in order to avoid any obscurity in the subsequent sketch, it will be advisable to review briefly the arrangement of the convolutions and sulci. In doing so I shall follow the terminology adopted by Professor Broca, in his late important work on the comparative anatomy of the convolutions in Mammals.

Objective The aim of the present work was to observe the activation/deactivation of cerebral functional regions after electroacupuncture (EA) at Yintang (EX-HN3) and GV20 by functional MRI (fMRI). Design A total of 12 healthy volunteers were stimulated by EA at Yintang and GV20 for 30 min. Resting-state fMRI scans were performed before EA, and at 5 and 15 min after needle removal. Statistical parametric mapping was used to preprocess initial data, and regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) were analysed. Results ReHo at 5 min post stimulation showed increases in the left temporal lobe and cerebellum and decreases in the left parietal lobe, occipital lobe and right precuneus. At 15 min post stimulation, ReHo showed increases in the left fusiform gyrus; lingual gyrus; middle temporal gyrus; postcentral gyrus; limbic lobe; cingulate gyrus; paracentral lobule; cerebellum, posterior lobe, declive; right cuneus and cerebellum, anterior lobe, culmen. It also showed decreases in the left frontal lobe, parietal lobe, right temporal lobe, frontal lobe, parietal lobe and right cingulate gyrus. ALFF at 5 min post stimulation showed increases in the right temporal lobe, but decreases in the right limbic lobe and posterior cingulate gyrus. At 15 min post stimulation ALFF showed increases in the left frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, right temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and cerebellum, but decreases in the left frontal lobe, anterior cingulate gyrus, right frontal lobe and posterior cingulate gyrus. Conclusions After EA stimulation at Yintang and GV20, which are associated with psychiatric disorder treatments, changes were localised in the frontal lobe, cingulate gyrus and cerebellum. Changes were higher in number and intensity at 15 min than at 5 min after needle removal, demonstrating lasting and strong after-effects of EA on cerebral functional regions.
