Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) Based on the P300 Event Related Potential (ERP)
(2010)Research in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) ranges from applications for people with severe motor disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), to applications for the consumer market such as games. During the ... -
Brain metastases in patients with cancer of an unknown primary tumour in the Netherlands, A status update.
(2022)Background: Cancers of unknown primary (CUP) are metastatic tumours of which the site of origin cannot be identified. Guidelines regarding care for CUP patients are limitedly available, particularly for those who present ... -
Breaking the Habit; An Evaluation of Ibogaine as a Viable Treatment for Opioid Dependence and Withdrawal
(2014)It is the aim of this review to analyse what is known of ibogaines mechanism of action, risk and toxicology and to evaluate its role in combating drug addiction. Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive indole alkaloid, ... -
Cadherins in Autism Spectrum Disorders
(2012)Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are developmental disorders with a multiple genetic background. Many genes have been shown to be associated with ASD, including genes coding for cell-adhesion molecules. These molecules are ... -
Can the negative deflections found with EEG on frontocentral electrodes be explained by one underlying process?
(2011)Several negative deflections have been found with EEG on frontocentral electrodes. Source localization and fMRI study have pointed all of these negativities in the vicinity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). The ... -
Chromosome 9p21.2 and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A causal pathogenic link?
(2012)In this thesis we discussed the function and possible role of IFT-74, Tie2, C9orf14, C9orf11, MOBKL2B, IFNK, C9orf72 and LINGO2 in the pathogenesis of ALS. Some of these genes (IFT-74, Tie2, MOBKL2B, IFNK and LINGO2) have ... -
Chronic inflammation disturbs regulation of serotonin transporter in major depression: intracellular mechanism
(2013)Major depression is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder which is becoming a world wide health problem. Several studies indicate that chronic inflammation or chronic psychosocial stress can induce, or at least con- tribute ... -
Closed-loop Optogenetic Stimulation
(2012)Feedback systems are pervasive throughout nature, and the brain is no exception. From processes occurring on a molecular level to interactions between different anatomical regions, the endogenous input to these systems ... -
Cognitive Dissonance Reduction: Psychological Background, Neuroscientific Insights and its Role in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
(2013)Cognitive dissonance reduction is a psychological mechanism that has been studied extensively since the 1950s. Knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying it is taking shape, but these brain systems are not yet fully ... -
Collective anti-predatory behaviour in animals groups
(2009)The collective behaviour of animal groups serves to reduce the risk of predation to individuals. By joining a group individuals remain in close proximity to others which reduces the risk of predation. Groups can also afford ... -
Combining BCI with functional electrical stimulation for facial nerve paralysis in locked-in indviduals
(2023)Locked-in syndrome (LIS) is a nervous system disorder that is characterised by loss of voluntary muscle control, which can lead to whole body paralysis. Classical and incomplete LIS patients retain the ability to produce ... -
Compulsive aspects in animal models of addiction and their underlying neurobiological mechanisms
(2014)Addiction is devastating disease affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide. As there is a need for more pharmacological therapies targeting the core aspects of addiction, research should focus on the severe ... -
Computational models of visual processing: a discussion of normalization and predictive coding using Marr's three levels of analysis
(2013)Our percept is the result of processing visual information by our visual system. This system contains many billions of neurons and a manyfold of connections between these neurons. In order to understand a complex system ... -
Connecting Consciousness: The role of large scale brain networks in consciousness
(2010)Conscious awareness is the unitary experience we have of knowing what is happening around us and what we think and feel about that. Although stimulus information is initially processed in unimodal sensory areas, our ... -
Current developments of white matter connectivity research in Schizophrenia; A study into voxel based versus track based DTI methodology
(2010)Research in schizophrenia has shown that structural brain abnormalities exist in patients with this disorder, but while imaging studies mostly pointed in the direction of gray matter changes, ... -
Cytoplasmic FMRP Interacting Protein 1 (CYFIP1) - A key player in the pathophysiology of the Fragile X Syndrome?
(2011)This literature study investigates the role Cyfip1 could play in the pathophysiology of the Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). FXS, the most common form of mental retardation, is caused by disruptions to the Fmr1 gene. In all cases ... -
Desensitisation and facilitation of memory after eye movements: An effort to solve an apparent contradiction.
(2012)Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) is a disorder characterized by frequent vivid memories of a traumatic event. A current effective treatment for PTSD is Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing treatment (EMDR). A ... -
Developing translational animal models for decision making: the Iowa Gambling Task case
(2011)Decision-making under conditions of uncertainity and risk is an essential part of human life. Every day we are required to make complex choices between often conflicting options, of which we can only partially estimate the ... -
Different brain areas involved in either idiopathic or acquired Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
(2011)Abstract Introduction: Knowledge about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is accumulating through neuro‐imaging research investigating involved brain circuits, most notably the CorticoStriatoThalamoCortical (CSTC) circuit. ... -
Differential roles of dorsal and ventral anterior congulate and medial prefrontal cortex in cognitive emotion regulation
(2011)A rapidly growing neuroimaging literature has provided extensive data on the neural systems implicated in cognitive emotion regulation. Functional imaging studies significantly contribute to the identification of the ...
