Structural connectomics in brain diseases

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandra Griffa, Patric Hagmann, Philipp Baumann

Imaging the connectome in vivo has become feasible through the integration of several rapidly developing fields of science and engineering, namely magnetic resonance imaging and in particular diffusion MRI on one side, image processing and network theory o ...

Altered Synaptic Dynamics during Normal Brain Aging

Graham Knott, Bohumil Maco

What is the neuroanatomical basis for the decline in brain function that occurs during normal aging? Previous postmortem studies have blamed it on a reduction in spine density, though results remain controversial and spine dynamics were not assessed. We us ...

Multimodal evaluation of the pediatric brain: DTI and its competitors

Elda Fischi Gomez

The development of the human brain, from the fetal period until childhood, happens in a series of intertwined neurogenetical and histogenetical events that are influenced by environment. Neuronal proliferation and migration, cell aggregation, axonal ingrow ...

How to Measure Cortical Folding from MR Images: a Step-by-Step Tutorial to Compute Local Gyrification Index

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer

Cortical folding (gyrification) is determined during the first months of life, so that adverse events occurring during this period leave traces that will be identifiable at any age. As recently reviewed by Mangin and colleagues2, several methods exist to q ...

The development of the human brain, from the fetal period until childhood, happens in a series of inter- twined neurogenetical and histogenetical events that are influenced by environment. Neuronal proliferation and mi- gration, cell aggregation, axonal in ...

Geodesic Active Fields

Dominique Zosso

Image registration is the concept of mapping homologous points in a pair of images. In other words, one is looking for an underlying deformation field that matches one image to a target image. The spectrum of applications of image registration is extremely ...

Sound-driven modulation of sub- and suprathreshold activity in mouse primary visual cortex

Diego Ghezzi

Integration of multimodal information is essential for the integrative response of the brain and is thought to be accomplished mostly in sensory association areas. However, available evidences in humans and monkeys indicate that this process begins already ...

Properties of neocortical microcircuits

Thomas Berger

The mammalian neocortex is one of the most complex brain areas, integrating all sensory modalities and allowing the animal to perform high level cognitive operations. Despite some cytoarchitectural specializations, the general neocortical structure is rema ...

Spontaneous locally restricted EEG alpha activity determines cortical excitability in the motor cortex

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

There is growing interest in the functional meaning of rhythmical brain activity. For oscillatory brain activity around 10 Hz in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) it is discussed whether it is associated with the level of cortical excitation. However, i ...

A Scale-Space of Cortical Feature Maps

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dominique Zosso

In this paper we define a scale-space for cortical mean curvature maps on the sphere, that offers a hierarchical representation of the brain cortical structures, useful in multi-scale registration and analysis algorithms. A spherical feature map is obtaine ...
