Prediction of post-stroke motor recovery benefits from measures of sub-acute widespread network damages

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Elvira Pirondini, Cyprien Alban Félicien Rivier

Rivier et al. report that global measures of brain connectivity estimated by introducing virtual lesions in healthy structural connectomes significantly increase the accuracy of motor recovery prediction in stroke patients when added to focal and clinical ...

Brain Fingerprinting Using Fmri Spectral Signatures On High-Resolution Cortical Graphs

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Hamid Behjat, Stefano Moia, Carlo Ferritto

Resting-state fMRI has proven to entail subject-specific signatures that can serve as a fingerprint to identify individuals. Conventional methods are based on building a connectivity matrix based on correlation between the average time course of pairs of b ...

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 ...

A brief exposure to rightward prismatic adaptation changes resting-state network characteristics of the ventral attentional system

Patric Hagmann, Stephanie Clarke

A brief session of rightward prismatic adaptation (R-PA) has been shown to alleviate neglect symptoms in patients with right hemispheric damage, very likely by switching hemispheric dominance of the ventral attentional network (VAN) from the right to the l ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hua Zhang, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis, Andrea Biasiucci, Tiffany Corbet, Thomas Schmidlin, Dragana Viceic

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear. Here we show that BCI coupled to functio ...

Design and implementation of an optimizing type-centric compiler for a high-level language

Dmytro Petrashko

Production compilers for programming languages face multiple requirements. They should be correct, as we rely on them to produce code. They should be fast, in order to provide a good developer experience. They should also be easy to maintain and evolve. Th ...

Study of tonotopic brain changes with functional MRI and FDG-PET in a patient with unilateral objective cochlear tinnitus

Melissa Saenz

We studied possible brain changes with functional MRI (fMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a patient with a rare, high-intensity "objective tinnitus" (high-level SOAEs) in the left ear of 10 years duration, with no associ ...

Anatomically-adapted graph wavelets for improved group-level fMRI activation mapping

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Nora Leonardi, Hamid Behjat

A graph based framework for fMRI brain activation mapping is presented. The approach exploits the spectral graphwavelet transform (SGWT) for the purpose of defining an advanced multi-resolutional spatial transformation for fMRI data. The framework extends ...

Tackling the Bottleneck of Delay Tables in 3D Ultrasound Imaging

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Federico Angiolini, Marcel Arditi, Aya Mohamed Naguib Ahmed Ibrahim

3D ultrasound imaging is quickly becoming a refer- ence technique for high-quality, accurate, expressive diagnostic medical imaging. Unfortunately, its computation requirements are huge and, today, demand expensive, power-hungry, bulky processing resources ...

Ambipolar Gate-Controllable SiNW FETs for Configurable Logic Circuits With Improved Expressive Capability

Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici

In this letter, we report on the fabrication and characterization of ambipolar silicon-nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistors (FETs) with a double-independent-gate (DIG) structure for polarity control. Several structures are fabricated, showing the effec ...

EEG-MEG evidence for early differential repetition effects for fearful, happy and neutral faces

Nathalie George, Manuel Mercier

To deter-mine how emotional information modulates subsequent traces for repeated stimuli, we combined simultaneous electro-encephalography (EEG) and magneto-encephalography (MEG) measures during long-lag incidental repetition of fearful, happy, and neutral ...

Apraxia: a review

Olaf Blanke, Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that is difficult to assess or interpret. In this chapter, we review the current taxonomies of apraxia and related cognitive and neuro ...

Direct validation of in vivo localized 13C MRS measurements of brain glycogen

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

With the use of localized 13C MRS in conjunction with [1-(13)C]-D-glucose infusion, it is possible to study brain glycogen metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to validate in vivo 13C MRS measurements by comparing them with results from a stan ...
