Neurobiological and metabolic basis of motivation and effort-based decision-making - A human 1H-MRS, fMRI and machine learning study

Motivation is a multifaceted phenomenon that we explore within the framework of decision-making. Through this cognitive process, actions are directed towards specific goals by performing a trade-off between the cost and benefit of an action. The dorsomedia ...

Brain's Dynamic Functional Organization with Simultaneous EEG-fMRI Networks

João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Patricia Figueiredo

The brain's functional networks can be assessed using imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). Recent studies have suggested a link between the dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) captured by ...

Fast, Broad-Band Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy with Diamond Widefield Relaxometry

Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Hoda Shirzad

We present an alternative to conventional Electron the use of bulky magnets and magnetron equipment, we use the photoluminescence of an ensemble of Nitrogen-Vacancy centers at the surface of a diamond. Monitoring their relaxation time (or T1), we detected ...

Dynamic functional hippocampal markers of residual depressive symptoms in euthymic bipolar disorder

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Julian Gaviria

Objectives: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe, chronic, affective disorder characterized by recurrent switching between mood states, psychomotor and cognitive symptoms, which can linger in euthymic states as residual symptoms. Hippocampal alterations may p ...

Brain microstructural and functional MRI: developments and application to a rat model of Alzheimer's disease

Yujian Diao

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a valuable tool in investigating the pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its progression, which are still open questions. Although some MRI-derived hallmarks in terms of functional connectivity and ...

An optimized protocol for assessing changes in mouse whole-brain activity using opto-fMRI

Valerio Zerbi, Christina Maria Grimm

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in mouse brain, paired with spatially and temporally defined manipulations, offers a powerful tool to causally explain the effect of specific neuronal activity on brain network dynamics. Here, we present an opti ...

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 ...

Diamond-Based Nanoscale Quantum Relaxometry for Sensing Free Radical Production in Cells

Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Hoda Shirzad

Diamond magnetometry makes use of fluorescent defects in diamonds to convert magnetic resonance signals into fluorescence. Because optical photons can be detected much more sensitively, this technique currently holds several sensitivity world records for r ...

Improving Functional Connectome Fingerprinting with Degree-Normalization

Enrico Amico

Background: Functional connectivity quantifies the statistical dependencies between the activity of brain regions, measured using neuroimaging data such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) blood-oxygenation-level dependent time series. The netw ...
