Long-term Effect of MPH on White Matter Tracts of Adults with ADHD: An Application of Consistent Model Selection followed by TBSS

We focused on analysis of long-term medication influenced white matter tracts based on diffusion-weighted MRI brain images of patients with ADHD disorder. We applied a framework of consistent model selection with Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) to give proper and consistent modelling of fiber-crossing in white matter. An orientation atlas...

Brain Dynamic Information Flow Estimation Based on EEG and Diffusion MRI: A Proof-of-principle Study and Application in Stroke

In the hemiparetic stroke, functional recovery of paretic limb may occur with the reorganization of neural networks in the brain. Electroencephalography (EEG), with an excellent temporal resolution, can be used to reveal functional changes in the brain following a stroke. This study assessed a novel multimodal brain imaging technique namely...

Diffusion MRI case study in epilespy: A Hemispheric Regional Based Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Tractography and Connectome in patients with Focal and Genetic Generalised Epilepsy

Background: Imaging in the field of epilepsy has been a lasting challenge. In genetic generalised epilepsy (GGE) patients, conventional neuroimaging methods such as the MRI often appear normal and even in focal epilepsy (FE) an obvious structural abnormality is not always visualised. The objective of this exploratory case study is to identify...

EEG Derived Laterality Metrics as a Biomarker for of Upper Limb Recovery in Stroke: An Explorative Study into EEG Biomarkers for Longitudinal Stroke Recovery

Problem: A biomarker that accurately predicts recovery of ischemic stroke for patients with poor baseline Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) is lacking. Biomarkers that predict recovery while providing functional insight into the underlying neural process are highly desired for optimal clinical care. Objectives: This...

The Value of Tractography: Towards More Accurate Targeting in Deep Brain Stimulation?

<b>Introduction</b>: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an important therapeutic option for various neurological diseases. For certain indications the optimal target cannot be identified on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but can be visualized with tractography. A recent improvement for clinical practice is the probabilistic...
