4. 2. Non-invasive Functional Neuroimaging for Localizing Epileptic Brain Activity

   Author : Yazdan Shirvany; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mathematical Dipole; Finite Element Method; Source localization; Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Forward Problem; Inverse Problem; Particle Swarm Optimization; Non-invasive EEG; Somatosensory Evoked Potentials; Epileptic Spike; Functional Neuroimaging;

   Abstract : Surgical therapy has become an important therapeutic alternative for patients with medically intractable epilepsy. Correct and anatomically precise localization of the epileptic focus, preferably with non-invasive methods, is the main goal of the pre-surgical epilepsy diagnosis to decide if resection of brain tissue is possible.

5. 3. Non-invasive EEG Functional Neuroimaging for Localizing Epileptic Brain Activity

   Author : Yazdan Shirvany; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Somatosensory Evoked Potentials; Forward Problem; Inverse Problem; Mathematical Dipole; Epileptic Spike; Functional Neuroimaging; Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Particle Swarm Optimization; Source localization; Finite Element Method; Non-invasive EEG;

   Abstract : Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic diseases in the world, and is present in up to 1% of the world’s population. Many patients with epilepsy never receive the treatment which make them seizure free. Surgical therapy has become an important therapeutic alternative for patients with drug resistant epilepsy.

6. 4. Brain Structure and Function in Adolescents with Atypical Anorexia Nervosa

   Author : Gaia Olivo; Helgi B. Schiöth; Christian Benedict; Jessica Mwinyi; Andreas Jansen; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) has a high incidence in adolescents, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The weight loss is generally less pronounced than that experienced in full-syndrome anorexia nervosa (AN), but the medical consequences can be as severe. READ MORE

7. 5. Cross-functional brain imaging of attention, memory, and executive functions : Unity and diversity of neurocognitive component processes

   Author : Petter Marklund; Lars Nyberg; Akira Miyake; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human memory; executive functions; prefrontal cortex; sustained and transient neural activity; declarative long-term memory; attention; working memory; functional neuroimaging; cognitive control.; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The central theme of the present thesis revolves around the exploration of similarities and differences in brain activity patterns invoked by the component processes underlying mnemonic, executive and attentional functions. The primary aim was to identify and functionally characterize commonly recruited brain regions in terms of shared component processes, which has been a largely neglected area of research in cognitive neuroscience.
