Table 5 Brain regions alternation and its potential impact.
| Brain regions | Experimental result | Brain function | Anticipated results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anterior cingulate cortex | MB | Movement, affect and social behaviors | Behavioral disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and autism |
| Paracingulate cortex | MB | Cognitive and affective regulation | Bipolar disorder |
| Inferior parietal, but supramarginal and angular gyri | MB >HCs | Part of the default model network and higher cognitive functions | Depression, anxiety, alexia and agraphia |
| Precuneus | MB >HCs | Visuospatial imagery, episodic memory retrieval, and consciousness | Depression, anxiety and impaired consciousness |
