Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases

Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...

Key challenges for tropospheric chemistry in the Southern Hemisphere

Julia Schmale

This commentary paper from the recently formed International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Southern Hemisphere Working Group outlines key issues in atmospheric composition research that particularly impact the Southern Hemisphere. In this article, we ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

3D Smith chart constant quality factor semi-circles contours for positive and negative resistance circuits

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Andrei Müller

The article firstly proves that the constant quality factor (Q) contours for passive circuits, while represented on a 2D Smith chart, form circle arcs on a coaxal circle family. Furthermore, these circle arcs represent semi-circles families in the north he ...

An intracerebral exploration of functional connectivity during word production

Amandine Grappe

Language is mediated by pathways connecting distant brain regions that have diverse functional roles. For word production, the network includes a ventral pathway, connecting temporal and inferior frontal regions, and a dorsal pathway, connecting parietal a ...

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

Stephanie Clarke, Wietske Van der Zwaag, 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 ...

Intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections of the human auditory cortex

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

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 ...

Hyperschematia after right brain damage: a meaningful entity?

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

In recent years we reported three right-brain-damaged patients, who exhibited a left-sided disprortionate expansion of drawings, both by copying and from memory, contralateral to the side of the hemispheric lesion (Neurology, 67: 1801, 2006, Neurocase 14: ...

The Ciliogenic Transcription Factor RFX3 Regulates Early Midline Distribution of Guidepost Neurons Required for Corpus Callosum Development

The corpus callosum (CC) is the major commissure that bridges the cerebral hemispheres. Agenesis of the CC is associated with human ciliopathies, but the origin of this default is unclear. Regulatory Factor X3 (RFX3) is a transcription factor involved in t ...

Mesenchymal stem cells restore cortical rewiring after neonatal ischemia in mice

Yohan Van de Looij

Objective: A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain damage and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment on the structure and contralesional connectivity of motor function-related cerebral areas. Methods: Brain r ...

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, ...

fMRI activation during a language task in adolescents with ASD

Nouchine Hadjikhani

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by language and communication impairments, social impairments, and repetitive behaviors or restricted interests. Previous Studies of semantic functions have found differences in ...

Mid- to late Holocene climate change- an overview

Stefan Müller, Jed Oliver Kaplan

The last 6000 years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in comparison to larger glacial–interglacial changes), and because abundant, detailed ...

Postlesional plasticity in central auditory processing : MRI and FMRI image registration and statistical signal processing

Dragana Viceic

The most general and striking evidence related with brain injury is that of the restoration of function. Recovery of motor and somatosensory functions has shown to commonly occur after stroke, but not all individuals show improvement. Clinical studies have ...

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 ...
