Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines from The Italian Neurological and Neuroradiological Societies for the use of magnetic resonance imaging in daily life clinical practice of multiple sclerosis patients.
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Stefano Bastianello,Giancarlo Comi,Paolo Gallo,Massimo Gallucci,Angelo Ghezzi,Maria Giovanna Marrosu,Giorgio Minonzio,Patrizia Pantano,Carlo Pozzilli,Gioacchino Tedeschi,Maria Trojano,Andrea Falini,Nicola De Stefano +14 more
TL;DR: This review aims at providing daily life guidelines to clinicians for a correct application of MRI in the workup of patients suspected of having MS as well as in the monitoring of disease evolution in those with established MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiparametric evaluation of regional brain damage in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
Antonia Ceccarelli,Maria A. Rocca,Paola Valsasina,Mariaemma Rodegher,Elisabetta Pagani,Andrea Falini,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +7 more
TL;DR: In PPMS patients, GM atrophy was found in the thalami and the right insula, while mean diffusivity (MD) changes involved several cortical‐subcortical structures in all cerebral lobes and the cerebellum, and Combining regional measures derived from different MR modalities may be a valuable tool to improve understanding of PPMS pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced dynamics of functional connectivity and cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis
Alessandro d’Ambrosio,Paola Valsasina,Antonio Gallo,Nicola De Stefano,Deborah Pareto,Frederik Barkhof,Olga Ciccarelli,Christian Enzinger,Gioacchino Tedeschi,M. Laura Stromillo,María Jesús Arévalo,Hanneke E. Hulst,Nils Muhlert,Marisa Koini,Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca +15 more
TL;DR: Time-varying RS-FC was markedly less dynamic in CI- versus CP-MS patients, suggesting that slow inter-network connectivity contributes to cognitive dysfunction in MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voxel-wise mapping of cervical cord damage in multiple sclerosis patients with different clinical phenotypes
Maria A. Rocca,Paola Valsasina,Dusan Damjanovic,Dusan Damjanovic,Mark A. Horsfield,Sarlota Mesaros,Tatjana Stosic-Opincal,Jelena Drulovic,Massimo Filippi +8 more
TL;DR: Voxel-based assessment of cervical cord damage is feasible and may contribute to a better characterisation of the clinical heterogeneity of MS patients, mainly involving the posterior and lateral cord segments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of action observation/execution on mirror neuron system recruitment: an fMRI study in healthy individuals.
Roberto Gatti,Maria A. Rocca,Silvia Fumagalli,Erik Cattrysse,Eric Kerckhofs,Andrea Falini,Massimo Filippi +6 more
TL;DR: The modality of administration and the type of task modulated MNS recruitment during motor acts, which might have practical implications for the set-up of individualized motor rehabilitation strategies.
