[PMID: 37572645 DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2023.108855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder of music perception and production, with the observed deficits contrasting with the sophisticated music processing reported for the general population. Musical deficits within amusia have been hypothesized to arise from altered pitch processing, with impairments in pitch discrimination and, notably, short-term memory. We here review research investigating its behavioral and neural correlates, in particular the impairments at encoding, retention, and recollection of pitch information, as well as how these impairments extend to the processing of pitch cues in speech and emotion. The impairments have been related to altered brain responses in a distributed fronto-temporal network, which can be observed also at rest. Neuroimaging studies revealed changes in connectivity patterns within this network and beyond, shedding light on the brain dynamics underlying auditory cognition. Interestingly, some studies revealed spared implicit pitch processing in congenital amusia, showing the power of implicit cognition in the music domain. Building on these findings, together with audiovisual integration and other beneficial mechanisms, we outline perspectives for training and rehabilitation and the future directions of this research domain.

Abstract
Direct cortical stimulation during awake craniotomy with speech testing became the «gold standard» in brain mapping and preserving speech zones during neurosurgical procedures. However, there are many other cerebral functions, and their loss can be very critical for certain patients. For example, such a function is production and perception of music for musicians. This review presents the latest data on functional anatomy of musician brain, as well as aspects of neurosurgical treatment with awake craniotomy and music testing under brain mapping.

Yao S, Kendrick KM. Reduced homotopic interhemispheric connectivity in psychiatric disorders: evidence for both transdiagnostic and disorder specific features. PSYCHORADIOLOGY 2022; 2:129-145. [PMID: 38665271 PMCID: PMC11003433 DOI: 10.1093/psyrad/kkac016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
There is considerable interest in the significance of structural and functional connections between the two brain hemispheres in terms of both normal function and in relation to psychiatric disorders. In recent years, many studies have used voxel mirrored homotopic connectivity analysis of resting state data to investigate the importance of connectivity between homotopic regions in the brain hemispheres in a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. The current review summarizes findings from these voxel mirrored homotopic connectivity studies in individuals with autism spectrum disorder, addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and depression disorders, and schizophrenia, as well as disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, epilepsy, and insomnia. Overall, other than attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, studies across psychiatric disorders report decreased homotopic resting state functional connectivity in the default mode, attention, salience, sensorimotor, social cognition, visual recognition, primary visual processing, and reward networks, which are often associated with symptom severity and/or illness onset/duration. Decreased homotopic resting state functional connectivity may therefore represent a transdiagnostic marker for general psychopathology. In terms of disorder specificity, the extensive decreases in homotopic resting state functional connectivity in autism differ markedly from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, despite both occurring during early childhood and showing extensive co-morbidity. A pattern of more posterior than anterior regions showing reductions in schizophrenia is also distinctive. Going forward, more studies are needed to elucidate the functions of these homotopic functional connections in both health and disorder and focusing on associations with general psychopathology, and not only on disorder specific symptoms.

Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:972939. [PMID: 36032260 PMCID: PMC9399621 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.972939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) abnormalities between the two brain hemispheres in left temporal lobe epilepsy (lTLE) patients and to determine whether these alterations could be leveraged to guide lTLE diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-eight lTLE patients and sixty healthy controls (HCs) matched in age, sex, and education level were recruited to receive resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scan. Then VHMC analyses of bilateral brain regions were conducted based on the results of these rs-fMRI scans. The resultant imaging data were further analyzed using support vector machine (SVM) methods. RESULTS Compared to HCs, patients with lTLE exhibited decreased VMHC values in the bilateral middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and middle cingulum gyrus (MCG), while no brain regions in these patients exhibited increased VMHC values. SVM analyses revealed the diagnostic accuracy of reduced bilateral MTG VMHC values to be 75.42% (89/118) when differentiating between lTLE patients and HCs, with respective sensitivity and specificity values of 74.14% (43/58) and 76.67% (46/60). CONCLUSION Patients with lTLE exhibit abnormal VMHC values corresponding to the impairment of functional coordination between homotopic regions of the brain. These altered MTG VMHC values may also offer value as a robust neuroimaging biomarker that can guide lTLE patient diagnosis.
