An immersive virtual reality tool for assessing left and right unilateral spatial neglect

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roberta Ronchi

The reported rate of the occurrence of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is highly variable likely due to the lack of validity and low sensitivity of classical tools used to assess it. Virtual reality (VR) assessments try to overcome these limitations by pr ...

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 ...

Age-Dependent Asymmetry of Wrist Position Sense Is Not Influenced by Stochastic Tactile Stimulation

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar

Stochastic stimulation has been shown to improve movement, balance, the sense of touch, and may also improve position sense. This stimulation can be non-invasive and may be a simple technology to enhance proprioception. In this study, we investigated wheth ...

Dopaminergic modulation of cortical motor network lateralization

Michael Herzog, Lester Melie Garcia, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

Introduction Unilateral movements are primarily processed in contralateral cortical and subcortical areas and additionally in ipsilateral cerebellum, leading to an asymmetric pattern of neural activation. Decrease of lateralization is characteristic of agi ...

Temporal Dissociation of Neocortical and Hippocampal Contributions to Mental Time Travel Using Intracranial Recordings in Humans

Olaf Blanke

In mental time travel (MTT) one is "traveling" back-and-forth in time, remembering, and imagining events. Despite intensive research regarding memory processes in the hippocampus, it was only recently shown that the hippocampus plays an essential role in e ...

Human EEG reveals distinct neural correlates of power and precision grasping types

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Huaijian Zhang, Tiffany Corbet

Hand grasping is a sophisticated motor task that has received much attention by the neuroscientific community, which demonstrated how grasping activates a network involving parietal, pre-motor and motor cortices using fMRI, ECoG, LFPs and spiking activity. ...

Illusory hand ownership in a patient with personal neglect for the upper limb, but no somatoparaphenia

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Lukas Heydrich, Roberta Ronchi

The symptoms of patients with left personal neglect are characterized by inattention towards contralesional (left) body parts while at the same time explicitly ascertaining ownership for the neglected hemibody. It is currently unknown if personal neglect i ...

Left neglect dyslexia: Perseveration and reading error types

Roberta Ronchi

Right-brain-damaged patients may show a reading disorder termed neglect dyslexia. Patients with left neglect dyslexia omit letters on the left-hand-side (the beginning, when reading left-to-right) part of the letter string, substitute them with other lette ...

Crossed somatoparaphrenia: an unusual new case and a review of the literature

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich

Somatoparaphrenia is a delusional misidentification and confabulation of body parts, usually arm or hand, opposite to a cerebral lesion, generally of the "minor" right hemisphere. There is some controversy concerning lesion site ( fronto-parietal; parieto- ...

Intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections of the human auditory cortex

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Leila Cammoun, Leila Faiza Ben Hamida Cammoun, Stephanie Clarke

The human auditory cortex comprises the supratemporal plane and large parts of the temporal and parietal convexities. We have investigated the relevant intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections using in vivo DSI tractography combined with landmark-base ...

Representation of Sound Objects within Early-Stage Auditory Areas: A Repetition Effect Study Using 7T fMRI

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Stephanie Clarke, Sandra Elisabete Monney, Melissa Saenz

Environmental sounds are highly complex stimuli whose recognition depends on the interaction of top-down and bottom-up processes in the brain. Their semantic representations were shown to yield repetition suppression effects, i. e. a decrease in activity d ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Silvio Ionta, Roberto Martuzzi

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 ...

Mental imagery for full and upper human bodies: common right hemisphere activations and distinct extrastriate activations

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Silvio Ionta

The processing of human bodies is important in social life and for the recognition of another person's actions, moods, and intentions. Recent neuroimaging studies on mental imagery of human body parts suggest that the left hemisphere is dominant in body pr ...

Impaired Imagery for Upper Limbs

Olaf Blanke

The brain processes associated with mental imagery have long been a matter of debate. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies have yielded diverging evidence of mental transformation activating the right hemisphere, the left hemisphere, or both. Here, ...

Hand preference and sex shape the architecture of language networks

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Leila Cammoun, Leila Faiza Ben Hamida Cammoun

In right-handed subjects, language processing relies predominantly on left hemisphere networks, more so in men than in women, and in right- versus left-handers. Using DT-MRI tractography, we have shown that right-handed men are massively interconnected bet ...

From diffusion MRI to brain connectomics

Patric Hagmann

The success of diffusion MRI is deeply rooted in the fact that during their micrometric random displacements water molecules explore tissue microstructure. Hence by labeling magnetically spins of displaced water, diffusion MRI provides us with exquisite in ...
