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 ...

CDKL5 sculpts functional callosal connectivity to promote cognitive flexibility

Valerio Zerbi

Functional and structural connectivity alterations in short- and long-range projections have been reported across neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Interhemispheric callosal projection neurons (CPN) represent one of the major long-range projections in th ...

The functional characterization of callosal connections

Muhamed Barakovic, Giorgio Innocenti

The brain operates through the synaptic interaction of distant neurons within flexible, often heterogeneous, distributed systems. Histological studies have detailed the connections between distant neurons, but their functional characterization deserves fur ...

Revisiting brain rewiring and plasticity in children born without corpus callosum

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Silvia Obertino, Vanessa Siffredi

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter pathway connecting homologous structures of the two cerebral hemispheres. Remarkably, children and adults with developmental absence of the corpus callosum (callosal dysgenesis, CD) show typical interhemisphe ...

Bundle-Specific Axon Diameter Index as a New Contrast to Differentiate White Matter Tracts

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Gabriel Girard, Alessandro Daducci, Cristina Granziera, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti

In the central nervous system of primates, several pathways are characterized by different spectra of axon diameters. In vivo methods, based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, can provide axon diameter index estimates non-invasively. However ...

C-reactive protein and white matter microstructural changes in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy

Alessandra Griffa

Encephalopathy is a neurological complication of COVID-19. The objective of this exploratory study is to investigate the link between systemic inflammation and brain microstructural changes (measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in patients with COVID-19 ...

Intra- and inter-hemispheric structural connectome in agenesis of the corpus callosum

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

Agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) is a congenital brain malformation characterized by the complete or partial failure to develop the corpus callosum. Despite missing the largest white matter bundle connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brai ...

Large-scale functional network dynamics in human callosal agenesis: Increased subcortical involvement and preserved laterality

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Anjali Bagunu Tarun, Vanessa Siffredi, Younes Farouj

In the human brain, the corpus callosum is the major white-matter commissural tract enabling the transmission of sensory-motor, and higher level cognitive information between homotopic regions of the two cerebral hemispheres. Despite developmental absence ...

Resolving bundle-specific intra-axonal T2 values within a voxel using diffusion-relaxation tract-based estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Cristina Granziera

At the typical spatial resolution of MRI in the human brain, approximately 60–90% of voxels contain multiple fiber populations. Quantifying microstructural properties of distinct fiber populations within a voxel is therefore challenging but necessary. Whil ...

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 ...

Quantitative brain relaxation atlases for personalized detection and characterization of brain pathology

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda, Reto Meuli, Cristina Granziera, Guillaume Bonnier

Purpose To exploit the improved comparability and hardware independency of quantitative MRI, databases of MR physical parameters in healthy tissue are required, to which tissue properties of patients can be compared. In this work, normative values for long ...

Linked Books: un indice citazionale per la storia di Venezia

Matteo Romanello, Giovanni Colavizza

We present the outcomes of the Linked Books project, resulting in a prototype citation index interlinking the Italian national library catalog (Opac SBN) with the information system of the State Archive of Venice and international authority records or “met ...

Assessing feasibility and reproducibility of a bundle-specific framework on in vivo axon diameter estimates at 300mT/m

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Giorgio Innocenti, Maxime Descoteaux

In vivo quantitative estimation of axon diameter in the white matter could bring new tools to study the structural and functional architecture of the brain. Recently, the feasibility of axon diameter estimation with diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) has been ...

Intra- and extra-axonal axial diffusivities in the white matter: Which one is faster?

Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Nicolas Kunz

A two-compartment model of diffusion in white matter, which accounts for intra- and extra-axonal spaces, is associated with two plausible mathematical scenarios: either the intra-axonal axial diffusivity Da,‖ is higher than the extra-axonal De,‖ (Branch 1) ...

In-vivo Bundle-Specific Axon Diameter Distributions Estimation across the Corpus Callosum

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Maxime Descoteaux

Over the last decade microstructure imaging has become commonly endorsed to estimate quantitative features of neuronal tissue. However, those techniques estimate the microstructure only locally. Microstructure informed tractography was recently proposed to ...

Studying Linguistic Changes over 200 Years of Newspapers through Resilient Words Analysis

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet, Vincent Christian Buntinx

This paper presents a methodology to analyze linguistic changes in a given textual corpus allowing to overcome two common problems related to corpus linguistics studies. One of these issues is the monotonic increase of the corpus size with time, and the ot ...

Agile in-litero experiments : how can semi-automated information extraction from neuroscientific literature help neuroscience model building?

Renaud Luc Richardet

In neuroscience, as in many other scientific domains, the primary form of knowledge dissemination is through published articles in peer-reviewed journals. One challenge for modern neuroinformatics is to design methods to make the knowledge from the tremend ...

On evaluating the accuracy and biological plausibility of diffusion MRI tractograms

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci

One of the major limitations of diffusion MRI tractography is that the tractograms, i.e. set of fiber tracts, recovered by existing algorithms are not truly quantitative. Hence, the structural connectivity between different brain regions, a.k.a. connectomi ...
