Corpus callosum structural characteristics in very preterm children and adolescents: Developmental trajectory and relationship to cognitive functioning

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi

Previous studies suggest that structural alteration of the corpus callosum, i.e., the largest white matter commissural pathway, occurs after a preterm birth in the neonatal period and lasts across development. The present study aims to unravel corpus callo ...

Enhancement of brain atlases with region-specific coordinate systems: flatmaps and barrel column annotations

Michael Reimann, Armando Romani, Aleksandra Zuzanna Teska, Felix Schürmann, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Huanxiang Lu, Sirio Bolaños Puchet

Digital brain atlases define a hierarchy of brain regions and their locations in three-dimensional space. They provide a standard coordinate system in which diverse datasets can be integrated for visualization and analysis. They also enable building of dat ...

Signatures of life course socioeconomic conditions in brain anatomy

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Bogdan Draganski

Socioeconomic status (SES) plays a significant role in health and disease. At the same time, early-life conditions affect neural function and structure, suggesting the brain may be a conduit for the biological embedding of SES. Here, we investigate the bra ...

Increased functional connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus underlies the attenuation of numerosity estimations for self-generated words

Olaf Blanke, Jevita Potheegadoo, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Giedre Stripeikyte

Previous studies have shown that self-generated stimuli in auditory, visual, and somatosensory domains are attenuated, producing decreased behavioral and neural responses compared to the same stimuli that are externally generated. Yet, whether such attenua ...

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 ...

Common and distinct brain networks of autoscopic phenomena

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Objective Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are illusory own body reduplications characterized by the visual perception of a second own body in extrapersonal space, and include three main forms: autoscopic hallucination (AH), heautoscopy (HAS) and out-of-body-expe ...

Sleep disturbance-related depressive symptom and brain volume reduction in shift-working nurses

Chang-Hyun Park

Disturbed sleep is the most common effect of shift work. A large corpus of research indicates an association between sleep disturbance and depressive symptom in shift workers. In this study, we proposed the mediating role of grey matter (GM) structure in t ...

Context effects on probability estimation

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

Topological principles and developmental algorithms might refine diffusion tractography

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

The identification and reconstruction of axonal pathways in the living brain or “ex-vivo” is promising a revolution in connectivity studies bridging the gap from animal to human neuroanatomy with extensions to brain structural–functional correlates. Unfort ...

Increased Neural Strength and Reliability to Audiovisual Stimuli at the Boundary of Peripersonal Space

Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel

The actionable space surrounding the body, referred to as peripersonal space (PPS), has been the subject of significant interest of late within the broader framework of embodied cognition. Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown the represen ...

Audio-Tactile and Peripersonal Space Processing Around the Trunk in Human Parietal and Temporal Cortex: An Intracranial EEG Study

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jean-Paul Noel, Hyeongdong Park

Interactions with the environment happen within one's peripersonal space (PPS)-the space surrounding the body. Studies in monkeys and humans have highlighted a multisensory distributed cortical network representing the PPS. However, knowledge about the tem ...

Common and distinct brain regions processing multisensory bodily signals for peripersonal space and body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Petr Grivaz

We take the feeling that our body belongs to us for granted. However, recent research has shown that it is possible to alter the subjective sensation of body ownership (BO) by manipulating multisensory bodily inputs. Several frontal and parietal regions ar ...

Visuo-vestibular mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness

Joachim Jean-Marie Forget

Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...

Differential patterns of functional and structural plasticity within and between inferior frontal gyri support training-induced improvements in inhibitory control proficiency

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Bogdan Draganski, Michaël Mouthon

Ample evidence indicates that inhibitory control (IC), a key executive component referring to the ability to suppress cognitive or motor processes, relies on a right-lateralized fronto-basal brain network. However, whether and how IC can be improved with t ...

The Brain Network reflecting Bodily Self-Consciousness: a functional connectivity study

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Silvio Ionta

Several brain regions are important for processing self-location and first-person perspective, two important aspects of bodily self-consciousness. However, the interplay between these regions has not been clarified. In addition, while self-location and fir ...

The Contributions of Sensory Dominance and Attentional Bias to Cross-modal Enhancement of Visual Cortex Excitability

Micah Murray

Approaching or looming sounds (L-sounds) have been shown to selectively increase visual cortex excitability [Romei, V., Murray, M. M., Cappe, C., & Thut, G. Preperceptual and stimulus-selective enhancement of low-level human visual cortex excitability by s ...

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 ...

High-field diffusion tensor imaging characterization of cerebral white matter injury in lipopolysaccharide-exposed fetal sheep

Yohan Van de Looij, François Lazeyras

BACKGROUND: In gyrencephalic species such as sheep, precise anatomical and microstructural characterization of the consequences of fetal inflammation remains scarce. The goal of this study was to characterize changes in white matter (WM) structure using ad ...

Human Primary Auditory Cortex Follows the Shape of Heschl's Gyrus

Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Melissa Saenz, Stephanie Clarke

The primary auditory cortex (PAC) is central to human auditory abilities, yet its location in the brain remains unclear. We measured the two largest tonotopic subfields of PAC (hA1 and hR) using high-resolution functional MRI at 7 T relative to the underly ...
