Insomnia severity impact dynamic connectivity and modulate connectivity-cognitive links in major depressive disorder (2026) · Psychological Medicine · doi
The current study aims to address the gap in understanding the relationship between insomnia severity and dynamic functional connectivity in MDD. Prior studies have focused on static functional connectivity, and the current study explores dynamic functional connectivity. The study also aims to identify insomnia-related changes in brain network connectivity and their impact on cognitive functions, which is a gap in current research.

Investigating working memory and brain activation in major depressive disorder with and without insomnia: insights from functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) (2026) · BMC Psychiatry · doi
The barin functional indicators associated with WM deficits in MDD patients with insomnia remain unclear. The contribution of insomnia to cognitive dysfunction, particularly working memory deficits, remains poorly understood. There is a need to investigate the relationship between insomnia and cognitive dysfunction in MDD patients, particularly in working memory (WM).

Increased functional network connectivity following cognitive rehabilitation in progressive multiple sclerosis with moderate to severe disabilty: findings from the CogEx study (2026) · Journal of Neurology · doi
Cognitive deficits occur in over 70% of patients with progressive MS and profoundly impair multiple domains. There is a need to develop effective strategies for managing cognitive impairment in MS. The study aims to address this challenge by exploring the effects of cognitive rehabilitation on functional network connectivity.
