The goal of the project is to validate the developed standardized atrophy measurement method at VU University Medical Centre in patients with MS. This is done by testing how well the measurements of atrophy agree between different scanners and…
The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…
The proposed study will further examine the effects of pregnancy on the human brain, by investigating structural and functional connectivity, local metabolite concentrations and neural activity related to social cognitive and memory processes.…
Primary Objective:First we need to establish that patients with an eating disorder and healthy controls differ in mental imagery. So, the first aim of our research is to compare the nature and characteristics (emotionality, vividness and perspective…
The main goal of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using 1) passive treadmill belt speed perturbations to measure spinal reflex activity in the calf muscles; and 2) active real-time visual feedback on dedicated gait parameters to highlight…
The project has three main scientific objectives: (1) To investigate how speech processing with CIs affects listeners* mental representations at lexical and sub-lexical levels, as well as the flow of information between these levels; (2) To study…
To map phenomenolocal characteristics of hallucinations and delusions in psychiatric and neurologic patient populations as well as in the general population. By comparing this between all groups, different subtypes of hallucinations and delusions…
Conditions that promote IL-10 producing B cells in humans are still ill defined. In this project our aim is to investigate the frequnecy of IL-10 producing B cells in healthy volunteers. Next, we aim to compare this to the frequency of IL-10…
PROUD is a multicentre prospective study, using clinical factors in combination with additional tests with the aim to clarify more about the aetiology and pathogenesis of MS.
1) Evaluating the effect and recovery of glioma surgery in eloquent areas on cognitive functioning.2) Examining the effec tof glioma surgery in eloquent areas on quality of life.3) Examining the effect of gliomas in eloquent areas on the…
Is the BOLD MRI able to show the difference in the level of oxygenation as a mesurement of ischemia between a in a healthy kidney (<30% renal artery stenosis) and a kidney with more than 70% artery stenosis?
To explore and optimize the usability of Doppler-OCT scanning of conditions affecting any of the retino-choroidal layers.
The above anounced studies suggest that some abnormalities in the Wnt pathway can be expected to affect development and function of the brain, potentially leading to recognizable behavioural phenotypes. Given the key role of APC in the Wnt pathway,…
• To increase the sensitivity of the current MRI methods for detecting the changes caused by NPSLE through the scans made on the 7 Tesla scanner, since the higher field strength will lead to a higher signal to noise ratio and higher resolution. • To…
The overall aim of this project is to elucidate the interaction between stress and epileptic seizures in childhood epilepsy. The specific aim of this study is to compare the possible differences in stress hormone regulation, hippocampal function and…
The general goal of our study is to unravel the anatomical and functional correlates of tinnitus in the human brain using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will use a high-field (7 T) MRI scanner and obtain a) detailed…
Main question: What is the lung function of late preterm births compared with children born at term at age 12? Sub-questions: - Which respiratory symptoms in late preterm infants at age 12?
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that free field word recognition scores in quiet and noise with CI *ON* are significantly better than the best aided pre-implant scores in the ear to be implanted (contralateral ear plugged)…
Primary objective: To identify specific bacteria or a characteristic bacterial composition in the oral and gut microbiome of pSS patients compared to non-Sjögren*s syndrome sicca (non-SS sicca) patients, SLE patients and healthy controls.Secondary…
The primary objective of the current study is to (further) investigate the role of reward and punishment sensitivity in Anorexia Nervosa and obesity by examining general and disorder-specific appetitive and aversive biases. The secondary objective…
