Abstract This proposal is for a multi-centre collaborative clinical study to reconsider and further refine the criteria of full-term neonatal encephalopathy initially defined in 1976 by Sarnat and Sarnat. Its suggestions are intended as a template for prospective study ...

Brain activity can be measured with several non-invasive neuroimaging modalities, but each modality has inherent limitations with respect to resolution, contrast and interpretability. It is hoped that multimodal integration will address these limitations by using the co...

We have previously reported long-term changes in the brains of non-concussed varsity rugby players using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic imaging (fMRI). Others have reported cognitive deficits in contact spor...

The encoding of sensory information in the human brain is thought to be optimised by two principal processes: ‘prediction’ uses stored information to guide the interpretation of forthcoming sensory events, and ‘attention’ prioritizes these events according to their beha...

In this study, we address the effect of anxiety measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) on EEG and risk decisions. We selected 20 high and 20 low anxious participants based on their STAI trait scores in the upper or lower quartile of the norm distribution...

To assess the augmented delta quotient (ADQ) monitor as a monitor of cerebral function during cardiac surgery, we monitored during operation the electroencephalograms of 48 young subjects (aged 2 weeks to 19 yr). We found ADQ patterns produced by cardiopulmonary bypass,...

Understanding the time-dependent changes of biomarkers related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a key to assessing disease progression and to measuring the outcomes of disease-modifying therapies. In this paper, we validate an Alzheimer’s disease progression score model w...

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. The close homology of monkeys and humans has increased the prevalence of non-human-primate models in functional MRI studies of brain connectivity. To improve upon the attainable resolution in functional MRI studies, a commensurate increase in the se...

Because individual differences influence the outcome of treatment approaches, the customization of healthcare options for individual patients should improve treatment results. We describe a novel approach to customizing interventions, The Virtual Brian (TVB), which comb...

We report on a miniature label-free imaging system for monitoring brain blood flow and blood oxygenation changes in awake, freely behaving rats. The device, weighing 15 grams, enables imaging in a ∼ 2 × 2 mm field of view with 4.4 μm lateral resolution and 1 − 8 Hz temp...
