  2. 1. Quantitative MRI Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration in Multiple Sclerosis

    Author : Michael Platten; Tobias Granberg; Chunliang Wang; Fredrik Piehl; Sara Shams; Mattias Vågberg; KTH; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Machine learning; Multiple sclerosis; Corpus callosum; Neurodegeneration; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that targets myelin in the brain and spinal cord. The corpus callosum connects the cerebral hemispheres and is composed of heavily myelinated axons. READ MORE

  4. 2. Brain Regeneration - in vitro and in vivo studies of exercise-related effects on brain plasticity

    Author : Cecilia Bull; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : brain; neural progenitor cells; stem cells; hippocampus; corpus collosum; rat; mouse; regeneration; neurogenesis; oligodendrogenesis; irradiation; exercise;

    Abstract : Neural stem and progenitor cells in the germinal regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, are of great interest, because they provide the possibility for enhanced brain plasticity or can contribute to endogenous cell replacement after injury or disease. Voluntary exercise was recently shown to robustly induce cellular and structural plasticity, thereby contributing to overall brain health. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neuroradiological aspects of multiple sclerosis : from early signs to late disease stages

    Author : Tobias Granberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved the diagnostic process in MS, but has also led to incidental MS-like findings. READ MORE

  6. 4. White matter connections : developmental neuroimaging studies of the associations between genes, brain and behavior

    Author : Fahimeh Darki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Development of cognitive abilities across childhood and adulthood parallels brain maturation in typically developing samples. Cognitive abilities such as reading and working memory have been linked to neuroimaging measures in relevant brain regions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Memory, genes, and brain imaging : relating the APOE gene to brain function and structure

    Author : Johanna Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. An important goal for current AD research is to find preclinical markers of impending disease. Apolipoprotein E sigma4 (APOE epsilon4) is the chief known genetic risk factor for AD. READ MORE
