Altered intrahemispheric structural connectivity in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a common developmental neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by tics and frequent psychiatric comorbidities, often causing significant disability. Tic generation has been linked to disturbed networks of brain areas ...

The missing social instinct

Nicole Regula Zürcher Wimmer

Smooth social interactions in everyday life rely on spontaneous understanding of emotions and intentions of others, conveyed by subtle social cues, such as gaze and facial expressions. In individuals with autism, however, who represent close to 1% of the p ...

Quantum Phase Transition in a Low-Dimensional Weakly Interacting Bose Gas

Luca Fontanesi

This thesis is devoted to the study of the effect of disorder on low-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gases. In particular, the disorder triggers a quantum phase transition in one dimension at zero temperature that is investigated here through the study ...

Abstract Despite the fact that premonitory urges precede most tics in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS), the voluntariness of tic elicitation and its suppressibility as a response to these urges still remains unclear. Moreover, there are n ...

The Impact of Sleep Fragmentation on Sleep Homeostasis, Brain and Peripheral Energy Metabolism and Spatial Learning

Maxime Olivier Baud

The quality of sleep has recently come to the forefront of public health concerns in industrialized nations. Indeed, voluntary sleep curtailment is widespread, sleep disorders are increasingly recognized and both correlate with the current epidemiology of ...

Interhemispheric motor networks are abnormal in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Brain imaging has shown altered corpus callosum (CC) morphology in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). Yet it is unclear whether these morphological changes are associated with altered interhemispheric interactions. Here, we combined transc ...

Altered modulation of intracortical excitability during movement preparation in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder in which cortical disinhibition has been proposed as a pathophysiological mechanism involved in the generation of tics. Tics are typically reduced during task performance and concentration. How ...

Structural changes in the somatosensory system correlate with tic severity in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics. Previous structural MRI studies have identified regional abnormalities in grey matter, especially in the basal ganglia. These findings are c ...

Epigenetic dysregulation in cognitive disorders

Johannes Gräff

Epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for biological functions requiring stable molecular changes such as the establishment of cell identity and tissue formation, they also constitute dynamic intracellular processes for translating environmental sti ...
