      Quantification methods based on the acquisition of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) with multiple diffusion weightings (e.g., multi-shell) are becoming increasingly applied to study the in-vivo brain. Compared ...
    • Neurological soft signs in adolescents are associated with brain structure 

      Bonke, Elena M.; Bonfert, Michaela V.; Hillmann, Stefan M.; Seitz-Holland, Johanna; Gaubert, Malo; Wiegand, Tim L.T.; De Luca, Alberto; Cho, Kang Ik K.; Sandmo, Stian Bahr; Yhang, Eukyung; Tripodis, Yorghos; Seer, Caroline; Kaufmann, David; Kaufmann, Elisabeth; Muehlmann, Marc; Gooijers, Jolien; Lin, Alexander P.; Leemans, Alexander; Swinnen, Stephan P.; Bahr, Roald; Shenton, Martha; Pasternak, Ofer; Tacke, Uta; Heinen, Florian; Koerte, Inga K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Neurological soft signs (NSS) are minor deviations in motor performance. During childhood and adolescence, NSS are examined for functional motor phenotyping to describe development, to screen for comorbidities, and to ...
    • REPIMPACT: A prospective longitudinal multisite study on the effects of repetitive head impacts in youth soccer 

      Koerte, Inga K.; Bahr, Roald; Filipcik, Peter; Gooijers, Jolien; Leemans, Alexander; Lin, Alexander P.; Tripodis, Yorghos; Sochen, Nir; Swinnen, Stephan P.; Pasternak, Ofer; Shenton, Martha E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Repetitive head impacts (RHI) are common in youth athletes participating in contact sports. RHI differ from concussions; they are considered hits to the head that usually do not result in acute symptoms and are therefore ...
