Allogenic Bioengineered Cartilage Achieves Hyaline Cartilage Repair in a Large Animal Model: A Promising Step Forward

François Lazeyras, Sébastien Courvoisier

Background: Chondrocyte-based cell therapy remains a promising method for cartilage repair, despite limitations faced during the last 30 years. Purpose/Hypothesis: This work presents hyaline-like bioengineered beads from donor chondrocytes as a novel treat ...

MRI characterization of in vitro clots at 3T and 7T: A technical note

Lijing Xin, François Lazeyras

In acute ischemic stroke, the composition of the occlusive clot can be associated with the underlying pathophysiology and the response to treatment. For these reasons, it is important to characterize the clot composition from clinical scans. We examine the ...

Choreography Controlled (ChoCo) brain MRI artifact generation for labeled motion-corrupted datasets

Michel Kocher, François Lazeyras, Bastien Chopard, Sébastien Courvoisier, Julien Songeon

MRI is a non-invasive medical imaging modality that is sensitive to patient motion, which constitutes a major limitation in most clinical applications. Solutions may arise from the reduction of acquisition times or from motion-correction techniques, either ...

In vivo magnetic resonance P-31-Spectral Analysis With Neural Networks: 31P-SPAWNN

Lijing Xin, François Lazeyras, Sébastien Courvoisier, Julien Songeon

Purpose: We have introduced an artificial intelligence framework, 31P-SPAWNN, in order to fully analyze phosphorus-31 (P-31) magnetic resonance spectra. The flexibility and speed of the technique rival traditional least-square fitting methods, with the per ...

The relationship between EEG and fMRI connectomes is reproducible across simultaneous EEG-fMRI studies from 1.5T to 7T

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Arwen Blanche Giraud, François Lazeyras, Giannina Rita Iannotti

Both electroencephalography (EEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) are non-invasive methods that show complementary aspects of human brain activity. Despite measuring different proxies of brain activity, both the measured blood-oxygenation ...

Shedding light on excessive crying in babies

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...

Music enhances structural maturation of emotional processing neural pathways in very preterm infants

Nicolas Kunz, Laura Ioana Gui, François Lazeyras

Prematurity disrupts brain maturation by exposing the developing brain to different noxious stimuli present in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and depriving it from meaningful sensory inputs during a critical period of brain development, leading to ...

Music processing in preterm and full-term newborns: A psychophysiological interaction (PPI) approach in neonatal fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Serafeim Loukas, François Lazeyras

Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide special equipment designed to give life support for the increasing number of prematurely born infants and assure their survival. More recently NICU's strive to include developmentally oriented care and modulate ...

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 ...

Music in premature infants enhances high-level cognitive brain networks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, François Lazeyras

Neonatal intensive care units are willing to apply environmental enrichment via music for preterm newborns. However, no evidence of an effect of music on preterm brain development has been reported to date. Using resting-state fMRI, we characterized a circ ...
