Differential Impact of Brain Network Efficiency on Poststroke Motor and Attentional Deficits

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Philip Egger, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Elena Beanato, Gabriel Girard, Julia Brügger, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Giorgia Giulia Evangelista, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

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 ...

Toward individualized medicine in stroke-The TiMeS project: Protocol of longitudinal, multi-modal, multi-domain study in stroke

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Philip Egger, Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Silvestro Micera, Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Elena Beanato, Valérie Rita Madeleine Zufferey, Gabriel Girard, Julia Brügger, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Traian Popa, Pauline Menoud, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Despite recent improvements, complete motor recovery occurs in < 15% of stroke patients. To improve the therapeutic outcomes, there is a strong need to tailor treatments to each individual patient. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the preci ...

Evaluating reproducibility and subject-specificity of microstructure-informed connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Elda Fischi Gomez, Tom Hilbert, Elena Beanato, Gabriel Girard, Julia Brügger, Gian Franco Piredda, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philipp Johannes Koch, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior, Chang-Hyun Park

Tractography enables identifying and evaluating the healthy and diseased brain's white matter pathways from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data. As previous evaluation studies have reported significant false-positive estimation biases, recen ...

Determining patterns of post-stroke motor recovery through longitudinal multimodal MRI: A step towards patient stratification

Julia Brügger

Motivated by the need for a better understanding of post-stroke recovery and new biomarkers to improve stroke patient stratification and outcomes, this thesis investigated structure-function coupling and its role in post-stroke recovery. Furthermore, in or ...
