The cerebellum has a crucial role in mood regulation. While cerebellar grey matter (GM) alterations have been previously reported in bipolar disorder (BD), cerebro-cerebellar white matter (WM) connectivity alterations and cerebellar GM profiles have not been characterised in the context of predominant polarity (PP) and onset polarity (OP) subphenot...

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound is a powerful new technology that is enabling development of noninvasive applications for complex brain disorders. This is currently revolutionizing the treatment of tremor disorders, and a variety of experimental applications are under active investigation. To fully realize the potential of this disrupt...

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) can manifest as debilitating, medically-refractory tics for which deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the centromedian-parafascicular complex (CM) can provide effective treatment. However, patients have reported benefit with activation of contacts dorsal to the CM and likely in the ventro-lateral thalamus (VL). At o...

Very preterm birth can disturb brain maturation and subject these high-risk children to neurocognitive difficulties later. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of prematurity on microstructure of frontostriatal tracts in children with no severe neurologic impairment, and to study whether the diffusion tensor imaging metrics of frontostri...

Injury to major white matter pathways during language-area associated glioma surgery often leads to permanent loss of neurological function. The aim was to establish standardized tractography of language pathways as a predictor of language outcome in clinical neurosurgery. We prospectively analyzed 50 surgical cases of patients with left perisylvia...

BackgroundDiffusion MRI is the preferred non-invasive in vivo modality for the study of brain white matter connections. Tractography datasets contain 3D streamlines that can be analyzed to study the main brain white matter tracts. Fiber clustering methods have been used to automatically group similar fibers into clusters. However, due to inter-subj...

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord impairment in adults. Previous supraspinal investigations have primarily focused on cortical changes in this patient population. As the nexus between the brain and the spinal cord, the brainstem has been understudied in patients with DCM. The current study examined the s...

The ability to recognize the structural components of words, known as morphological processing, was recently associated with the bilateral ventral white matter pathways, across different writing systems. However, it remains unclear whether these associations are specific to the context of reading. To shed light on this question, in the current stud...

Brain atlases have proven to be valuable neuroscience tools for localizing regions of interest and performing statistical inferences on populations. Although many human brain atlases exist, most do not contain information about white matter structures, often neglecting them completely or labelling all white matter as a single homogenous substrate. ...

We investigated the added value of combining information from direction-encoded color (DEC) maps with high-resolution structural magnetic resonance imaging scans (T1-weighted images [T1WIs]) to improve the identification of regions of interest (ROIs) for fiber tracking during preoperative planning for patients with brain tumors. The dataset include...
