The utility of the McCarron-Dial System in determining location of brain lesion.
… assessment are to detect the presence of brain damage, localize which areas of the brain may be dysfunctional, and describe subsequent functional impairments. The sensitivity of neuropsychological instruments in carrying out these functions has long been a question of debate. The purpose …

Alternative Neuropsychological and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measures in Multiple Sclerosis: Exploring the relation between brain lesion measured by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging and interhemispheric communication and processing speed in multiple sclerosis
… by demyelination of the white matter in the brain and central cord. MS may involve degeneration of white matter throughout the nervous system, with a predilection for specific target zones that includes the corpus callosum. The pathologic process may lead to motor problems, but halve of the …

The matter of mindfulness : investigations into the mechanisms of mindfulness
… analysis, clinical intervention, functional brain imaging and brain-lesion methods. In Study One a total of 10 commonly proposed mechanisms of mindfulness were identified through a qualitive systematic analysis of the literature: self-regulation, exposure, cognitive flexibility, acceptance, …

Injectable chemokine-releasing gelatin matrices for enhancing endogenous regenerative responses in the injured rat brain
Brain injuries acquired from hemorrhage, ischemic strokes and trauma affect millions worldwide each year and often cause irreversible loss of neural tissue that disrupts vital neurological functions. Cell transplantation has traditionally been the strategy for achieving neuroregeneration but …

The role of substance P in experimental intracerebral haemorrhage.
… found following ischaemic stroke and traumatic brain injury. Inhibiting the main SP receptor (neurokinin-1 (NK1)) reduces oedema and improves functional outcome in both settings. As this thesis details, we hypothesised that SP plays a similarly deleterious role following intracerebral …

Cognitive, social and emotional processes in unawareness of illness following stroke
… unawareness of motor deficits contralateral to a brain lesion. Based on insights gained from both clinical and experimental research on anosognosia, it is argued that purely sensorimotor accounts do not explain several features of the syndrome, such as the delusional and emotional aspects. …

Disease mechanisms and markers of progression in cerebral small vessel disease
… natural history of white matter hyperintensity lesions (WMHs) in SVD. These are a key radiological feature of SVD that are strongly correlated with clinical sequelae, and I further tested whether brain lesion volume can regress over time. In part II I investigated the role of two novel …

Kynurenines in neurological disorders
… disease (HD) patients and patients with chronic brain injury, where the injury had occurred at least one year previously. QUIN was also determined for these patients using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, the dynamics of the kynurenine pathway were investigated following …

Understanding neural mechanisms of strategic learning: correlates, causality, and applications
… learning rule by investigating how the brain encodes and computes learning signals used to guide behavior in a repeated normal-form game. Specifically, I combined functional neuroimaging of a multi-strategy competitive game with computational modeling of three widely used classes of …

Preterm intraventricular haemorrhage - Effects of extracellular haemoglobin
… haemorrhage (IVH) is the most common brain lesion in preterm infants and is most commonly seen in the sickest children, with 15-20% of very preterm infants developing IVH. The mortality of infants with severe IVH is 20-50 % in the neonatal period and over 50 % of surviving infants …
