Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: brain correlates of the learning process

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Chang-Hyun Park, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Maeva Moyne

Motor skill learning is a crucial process at all ages. However, healthy aging is often accompanied by a reduction in motor learning capabilities. This study characterized the brain dynamics of healthy older adults during motor skill acquisition and identif ...

Plastic Changes in Pain and Motor Network Induced by Chronic Burn Pain

Chang-Hyun Park

Musculoskeletal diseases with chronic pain are difficult to control because of their association with both central as well as the peripheral nervous system. In burn patients, chronic pain is one of the major complications that cause persistent discomfort. ...

The structural connectome and motor recovery after stroke: predicting natural recovery

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Gabriel Girard, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Elena Beanato, Philip Egger, Philipp Johannes Koch, 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 ...

Methods for functional connectivity and morphometry in neonatal neuroimaging to study neurodevelopment

Serafeim Loukas

Preterm birth is a major pediatric health problem that perturbs the genetically determined program of corticogenesis of the developing brain. As a consequence, prematurity has been strongly associated with adverse long-term neurodevelopmental outcome that ...

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 ...

Human Cochlear Nucleus on 7 Tesla Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Insights Into Micro-anatomy and Function for Auditory Brainstem Implant Surgery

Nicolas Vachicouras

Objective:The cochlear nucleus (CN) is the target of the auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Most ABI candidates have Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and distorted brainstem anatomy from bilateral vestibular schwannomas. The CN is difficult to characterize as ...

Bilateral Rolandic operculum processing underlying heartbeat awareness reflects changes in bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Maria Laura Blefari

Exteroceptive bodily signals (including tactile, proprioceptive and visual signals) are important information contributing to self-consciousness. Moreover, prominent theories proposed that visceral signals about internal bodily states are equally or even m ...

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 ...

Distinct vestibular effects on early and late somatosensory cortical processing in humans

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Michiel van Elk, Christian Pfeiffer

In non-human primates several brain areas contain neurons that respond to both vestibular and somatosensory stimulation. In humans, vestibular stimulation activates several somatosensory brain regions and improves tactile perception. However, less is known ...

Stroking or Buzzing? A Comparison of Somatosensory Touch Stimuli Using 7 Tesla fMRI

Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Roberto Martuzzi

Studying body representations in the brain helps us to understand how we humans relate to our own bodies. The in vivo mapping of the somatosensory cortex, where these representations are found, is greatly facilitated by the high spatial resolution and high ...

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 ...

Brain system for mental orientation in space, time, and person

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon

Orientation is a fundamental mental function that processes the relations between the behaving self to space (places), time (events), and person (people). Behavioral and neuroimaging studies have hinted at interrelations between processing of these three 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 ...

The vestibular system: a spatial reference for bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Christian Pfeiffer

Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the “I”. Self- consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the body, as well as to its location and displacement in the gravitational fi ...

Geodesic Active Fields : A Geometric Framework for Image Registration

Dominique Zosso

Image registration is the concept of mapping homologous points in a pair of images. In other words, one is looking for an underlying deformation field that matches one image to a target image. The spectrum of applications of image registration is extremely ...

Regional cortical volumes and congenital heart disease: a MRI study in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Maude Schneider, Marie Schaer

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who survive surgery often present impaired neurodevelopment and qualitative brain anomalies. However, the impact of CHD on total or regional brain volumes only received little attention. We address this question ...
