The main objective of the study is to investigate whether the strong clinical effects of natalizumab in RRMS can be explained by enhanced functional adaptation mechanisms of the brain and whether enhanced functional reorganisation is sustained over…
Using a variety of methods, we try to determine the dynamics of the chewing movements in typically developing children and children with CP. The methods are, in some degree, complementary to each other. Given the limitations of the methods we need…
With this study we aim to investigate the emotional development, behavior, social behavior, variation in personality traits and intellectual functioning in a group of children who are diagnosed with narcolepsy with of without cataplexie, according…
To investigate the differences in driving performance and safety between CD patients and healthy controls in a driving simulator. To compare the subjective evaluation of the difficulty of various aspects of the driving task driving in CD patients…
To detect ophthalmic differences between patients and controles. To detect (early) changes in the retina in (pre)symptomatic HCHWA-D disease carriers, in order to find a *biomarker* for disease stage and progression.
No studies have yet investigated brain activity in NC patients in relation to alertness and sleep resistance. The aim of the current study is to obtain more insight into the regulatory mechanisms controlling alertness and sleep resistance in…
The objectives of this multi-centre, double-blind, randomized, 2-parallelgroups study are to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of levetiracetam (LEV) monotherapy 15-60mg/kg/day versus valproic acid (VPA) monotherapy 10-40mg/kg/day in…
1. To determine the reproducibility of the ECWT and the 6MWT to assess the physical strain of walking in patients with PPS and in healthy control subjects.2. To evaluate the one-year course of the physical strain of walking among patients with PPS…
With this research we intend to fill the gap described in the previous chapter by:1) Detecting functional network changes in several causes of early-onset dementia and to characterize the specific changes for each dementia cause.2) Relating specific…
The main objective of this study is to determine the neural correlates of apathy. These neural correlates will be compared with the neuropsychological tests At a later stage, the predictive value of the neural correlates will also be assessed.
The main objective of this study is to characterize the features and the extent of extracerebellar structural pathology in SCA3 and SCA6 patients. Secondary objectives are:- To explore the sensitivity of DWI and other imaging modalities in detecting…
The primary objective of the clinical part of EPISTOP project is to identify the clinical and molecular biomarkers of epileptogenesis in a prospective clinical study of patients with TSC. Secondary objective of the clinical part of EPISTOP is to…
The project aim is to optimize existing EEG methods for recording and analyzing EEG data acquired during walking in combination with advanced VR methods for the investigation and rehabilitation of gait and balance impairments. The project aims to…
Our primary objective is to study the cellular immune response in CIDP during different stages of disease activity and to explore their role as a biomarker for treatment response and disease activity in patients with CIDP.
To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) on a 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla MRI system and ultrasound (US) to visualize the peripheral nerves and muscles in the forearm to diagnose MMN and ALS…
To investigate whether the CVS patients show the muscle membrane disturbances, as the FMS patients do. That is, are there muscle conduction velocities disturbances in the CVS patients?
1. To identify presymptomatic and symptomatic profiles including (early) disease stages and early biomarkers of disease progression and to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms, we will investigate RVCL patients at different ages (both symptomatic…
1. We will recruit 6 probands who experience cerebellar movement disorders with spinocerebellar ataxia features such as uncoordinated movement (i.e. asthenia, asynergy, delayed reaction time and dyschronometria) in limbs and organs such as the eyes…
Our objective is to perturb neural activity in the parietal-occipital cortex in PD patients (and age-matched control subjects) to determine if the activity contributes to better visually-guided behaviour, but at the same time, to diminished…
This project will investigate what the needs of patients with late stage parkinsonism, their families and of their carers are, what services and support they receive, and the extent to which their needs are met in different health-care systems. This…
