Resting-State Cortico-Cerebellar Connectivity Correlates with Post-Stroke Motor Recovery - A Prospective Functional MRI Study

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Elena Beanato

Cerebellar functional and structural connectivity are likely related to motor function after stroke. Less is known about motor recovery, which is defined as a gain of function between two time points, and about the involvement of the cerebellum. Fifteen pa ...

Pathway-dependent Brain Stimulation Responses Indicate Motion Processing Integrity After Stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Elena Beanato, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Fabienne Windel, Michele Bevilacqua, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Pauline Menoud

Homonymous hemianopia (HH), a common visual impairment resulting from occipital lobe lesions, affects a significant number of stroke survivors. Intensive perceptual training can foster recovery, possibly by enhancing surviving visual pathways. This study e ...

Brain Oscillatory Modes as a Proxy of Stroke Recovery

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Background Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability, making the search for successful rehabilitation treatment one of the most important public health issues. A better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying impairment and recovery is ...

Precision non-invasive brain stimulation: an in silico pipeline for personalized control of brain dynamics

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Elena Beanato

Objective. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) offers therapeutic benefits for various brain disorders. Personalization may enhance these benefits by optimizing stimulation parameters for individual subjects. Approach. We present a computational pipeline ...

Noninvasive modulation of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex during spatial navigation in humans

Olaf Blanke, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Emanuela De Falco, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Baptiste Gauthier

Because of the depth of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex (HC-EC) in the brain, understanding of its role in spatial navigation via neuromodulation was limited in humans. Here, we aimed to better elucidate this relationship in healthy volunteers, using tr ...

Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Julie Duqué

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...

Stroke Recovery–Related Changes in Cortical Reactivity Based on Modulation of Intracortical Inhibition

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Philip Egger, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Pauline Menoud

BACKGROUND: Cortical excitation/inhibition dynamics have been suggested as a key mechanism occurring after stroke. Their supportive or maladaptive role in the course of recovery is still not completely understood. Here, we used transcranial m ...

Safety, tolerability and blinding efficiency of non-invasive deep transcranial temporal interference stimulation: first experience from more than 250 sessions

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Fabienne Windel, Emma Marie D Stiennon, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Objective. Selective neuromodulation of deep brain regions has for a long time only been possible through invasive approaches, because of the steep depth-focality trade-off of conventional non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques. Approach. An appr ...

Noninvasive deep brain stimulation to modulate human behavior by means of transcranial temporal interference electrical stimulation

Elena Beanato

All functions we use in our everyday life depend on a complex interplay between both cortical and subcortical brain areas, communicating in between each others. When a region is affected by either an accident, aging or neurodegenerative diseases, the whole ...

Novel personalized treatment strategy for patients with chronic stroke with severe upper-extremity impairment: The first patient of the AVANCER trial

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Andrea Crema, Elena Beanato, Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Claudia Bigoni, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet

Background: Around 25% of patients who have had a stroke suffer from severe upper-limb impairment and lack effective rehabilitation strategies. The AVANCER proof-of-concept clinical trial (NCT04448483) tackles this issue through an intensive and personaliz ...
