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 ...

Differential Impact of Brain Network Efficiency on Poststroke Motor and Attentional Deficits

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philip Egger, Philipp Johannes Koch

Background:Most studies on stroke have been designed to examine one deficit in isolation; yet, survivors often have multiple deficits in different domains. While the mechanisms underlying multiple-domain deficits remain poorly understood, network-theoretic ...

Toward individualized medicine in stroke-The TiMeS project: Protocol of longitudinal, multi-modal, multi-domain study in stroke

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Sylvain Jean-François Harquel

Despite recent improvements, complete motor recovery occurs in < 15% of stroke patients. To improve the therapeutic outcomes, there is a strong need to tailor treatments to each individual patient. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the preci ...

Evaluating reproducibility and subject-specificity of microstructure-informed connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Gian Franco Piredda, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato

Tractography enables identifying and evaluating the healthy and diseased brain's white matter pathways from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data. As previous evaluation studies have reported significant false-positive estimation biases, recen ...

Determining patterns of post-stroke motor recovery through longitudinal multimodal MRI: A step towards patient stratification

Julia Brügger

Motivated by the need for a better understanding of post-stroke recovery and new biomarkers to improve stroke patient stratification and outcomes, this thesis investigated structure-function coupling and its role in post-stroke recovery. Furthermore, in or ...

Variability and reproducibility of multi-echo T2 relaxometry: Insights from multi-site, multi-session and multi-subject MRI acquisitions

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Elda Fischi Gomez, Gian Franco Piredda, Thomas Yu, Takuya Morishita

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) can increase the specificity and sensitivity of conventional weighted MRI to underlying pathology by comparing meaningful physical or chemical parameters, measured in physical units, with normative values acqu ...
