On the cortical connectivity in the macaque brain: A comparison of diffusion tractography and histological tracing data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) tractography is a non-invasive tool to probe neural connections and the structure of the white matter. It has been applied successfully in studies of neurological disorders and normal connectivity. Rec ...

Advanced Neurotechnologies for the Restoration of Motor Function

Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions ("neurotechnologies'') exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous system can increase the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation. Recent stud ...

Disownership of body parts as revealed by a visual scale evaluation. An observational study

Olaf Blanke, Roberta Ronchi, Michela Bassolino, Giuseppe Vallar, Dragana Viceic

The disownership of body parts, that most frequently occurs on the left side of the body, contralateral to right-hemispheric lesions, is an infrequent disorder, as usually assessed by interviews asking for dichotomic "yes/no" responses. This observational ...

A Self-Learning Methodology for Epileptic Seizure Detection with Minimally Supervised Edge Labeling

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Damián Pascual Ortiz

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and affects over 65 million people worldwide. Despite the continuing advances in anti-epileptic treatments, one third of the epilepsy patients live with drug resistant seizures. Besides, the mortali ...

Functional imaging of rostrocaudal spinal activity during upper limb motor tasks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Roberto Martuzzi, Elvira Pirondini

The spinal cord is the main interface between the brain and the periphery. It notably plays a central role in motor control, as spinal motoneurons activate skeletal muscles involved in voluntary movements. Yet, the spinal mechanisms underlying human moveme ...

Predicting Modafinil-Treatment Response in Poststroke Fatigue Using Brain Morphometry and Functional Connectivity

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Background and Purpose- Poststroke fatigue affects a large proportion of stroke survivors and is associated with a poor quality of life. In a recent trial, modafinil was shown to be an effective agent in reducing poststroke fatigue; however, not all patien ...

Advantages of soft subdural implants for the delivery of electrochemical neuromodulation therapies to the spinal cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Marco Capogrosso, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Pavel Musienko, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Jérôme Gandar, Polina Shkorbatova, Nathan Antoine Greiner

Objective. We recently developed soft neural interfaces enabling the delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord. These stimulations restored locomotion in animal models of paralysis. Soft interfaces can be placed either below or abo ...
