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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Towards patient-tailored interventions for stroke recovery: graph theoretical approaches and modeling of non-invasive brain stimulation

Giorgia Giulia Evangelista

Stroke is a disease that causes the death of precious brain cells that will never grow back and which will affect one in four humans at some point in their life. While therapies and treatments for this debilitating condition are fairly standard, their outc ...

A Novel Patient-Tailored, Cumulative Neurotechnology-Based Therapy for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation in Severely Impaired Chronic Stroke Patients: The AVANCER Study Protocol

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

Effective, patient-tailored rehabilitation to restore upper-limb motor function in severely impaired stroke patients is still missing. If suitably combined and administered in a personalized fashion, neurotechnologies offer a large potential to assist reha ...

The structural connectome and motor recovery after stroke: predicting natural recovery

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Takuya Morishita, Elena Beanato, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Philipp Johannes Koch, Philip Egger, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista

Stroke patients vary considerably in terms of outcomes: some patients present ‘natural’ recovery proportional to their initial impairment (fitters), while others do not (non-fitters). Thus, a key challenge in stroke rehabilitation is to identify individual ...

Disconnectomics of the Rich Club Impacts Motor Recovery After Stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Elena Beanato, Chang-Hyun Park, Philipp Johannes Koch, Philip Egger, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Structural brain networks possess a few hubs, which are not only highly connected to the rest of the brain but are also highly connected to each other. These hubs, which form a rich-club, play a central role in global brain organiza ...
