Probing myelin content of the human brain with MRI: A review

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda

Rapid and efficient transmission of electric signals among neurons of vertebrates is ensured by myelin-insulating sheaths surrounding axons. Human cognition, sensation, and motor functions rely on the integrity of these layers, and demyelinating diseases o ...

Exploring dynamic functional connectivity by incorporating prior knowledge of brain structure

Anjali Bagunu Tarun

The synchronized firing of distant neuronal populations gives rise to a wide array of functional brain networks that underlie human brain function. Given the enormous perception, learning, and cognition potential of the human brain, it is not surprising th ...

DWI Simulation-Assisted Machine Learning Models for Microstructure Estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Marco Pizzolato, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Thomas Yu, Muhamed Barakovic

Diffusion MRI (DW-MRI) allows for the detailed exploration of the brain white matter microstructure, with applications in both research and the clinic. However, state-of-the-art methods for microstructure estimation suffer from known limitations, such as t ...

Dynamic distortion correction for functional MRI using FID navigators

Tobias Kober

Purpose To develop a method for slice-wise dynamic distortion correction for EPI using rapid spatiotemporal B(0)field measurements from FID navigators (FIDnavs) and to evaluate the efficacy of this new approach relative to an established data-driven techni ...

How ageing shapes body and space representations: A comparison study between healthy young and older adults

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza, Giuliana Sorrentino, Charlène Zuber

To efficiently interact with the external world, the brain needs to represent the size of the involved body parts - body representations (BR) - and the space around the body in which the interactions with the environment take place - peripersonal space rep ...

Magnetization transfer in magnetic resonance fingerprinting

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert

Purpose To study the effects of magnetization transfer (MT, in which a semi-solid spin pool interacts with the free pool), in the context of magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). Methods Simulations and phantom experiments were performed to study the im ...

Advantages of fluid and white matter suppression (FLAWS) with MP2RAGE compared with double inversion recovery turbo spin echo (DIR-TSE) at 7T

Tobias Kober

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and white matter (WM) signal suppression techniques allow better visualization of both WM and gray matter (GM) lesions in such disorders as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Recently, a technique, FLuid And White matter Suppression ...

GABA and glutamate moderate beta-amyloid related functional connectivity in cognitively unimpaired old-aged adults

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

Background: Effects of beta-amyloid accumulation on neuronal function precede the clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by years and affect distinct cognitive brain networks. As previous studies suggest a link between beta-amyloid and dysregul ...

Cerebral Gray and White Matter Involvement in Anorexia Nervosa Evaluated by T1, T2, and T2*Mapping

Tobias Kober, François Lazeyras, Nurten Ceren Askin

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Changes in the brain composition of anorexics could potentially be expected, opening the door to new imaging approaches where quantitative and qualitative MRI have a role. Our purpose was to investigate anorexia-related brain dehydra ...

Longitudinal study of neonatal brain tissue volumes in preterm infants and their ability to predict neurodevelopmental outcome

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

Premature birth has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the relation between such outcomes and brain growth in the neonatal period has not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigates longitudinal brain development between ...
