Whole-body somatotopic maps in the cerebellum revealed with 7T fMRI

The cerebellum is known to contain a double somatotopic body representation. While the anterior lobe body map has shown a robust somatotopic organization in previous fMRI studies, the representations in the posterior lobe have been more difficult to observ ...

Laminar analysis of the cerebellar cortex shows widespread damage in early MS patients: A pilot study at 7T MRI

Yohan Boillat

Background To date, little is known about the presence and extent of cerebellar cortical pathology in early stages of MS. ...

Metabolic and hemodynamic changes in the activated human brain and cerebellar organisation measured by MRS/MRl at 7 Tesla

Yohan Boillat

Although less often investigated than the positive blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, a negative BOLD signal has also been observed under certain conditions, which could have a neuronal origin. To further investigate the negative BOLD signal from ...

Metabolite concentration changes associated with positive and negative BOLD responses in the human visual cortex: A functional MRS study at 7 Tesla

Rolf Gruetter, Yohan Boillat, Lijing Xin, Wietske Van der Zwaag

Negative blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal observed during task execution in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be caused by different mechanisms, such as a blood-stealing effect or neuronal deactivation. Electrophysiological re ...

Cerebellar cortical laminar analysis of T1 relaxation times at 7T MRI shows widespread cerebellar cortex damage in early relapsing-remitting MS patients but no correlation with clinical deficits

Whole brain measurements of the positive BOLD response variability during a finger tapping task at 7 T show regional differences in its profiles

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Yohan Boillat

PURPOSE: The positive BOLD response can vary across brain regions. Here, the positive BOLD responses of motor regions, including the cerebellum, were investigated by fast fMRI acquisition. METHODS: The participants were asked to perform an event-related fi ...

Surface-based characteristics of the cerebellar cortex visualized with ultra-high field MRI

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Gunnar Krüger, Cristina Granziera, Guillaume Bonnier, Kieran O'Brien, Yohan Boillat, Mario Joao Fartaria de Oliveira

Although having a relatively homogeneous cytoarchitectonic organization, the cerebellar cortex is a heterogeneous region characterized by different amounts of myelin, iron and protein expression profiles. In this study, we used quantitative T1 and T2* mapp ...
