Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of white matter fiber-bundle cross-section in multiple sclerosis using diffusion-weighted imaging:
TL;DR: The CSD method can be applied in MS for a fiber-specific study of WM microstructure and quantification of FC, and a significant widespread reduction of WM FC in MS compared to HCs is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal-related memory network in multiple sclerosis: A structural connectivity analysis.
Sara Llufriu,Maria A. Rocca,Elisabetta Pagani,Gianna C Riccitelli,Elisabeth Solana,Bruno Colombo,Mariaemma Rodegher,Andrea Falini,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used graph theoretical analysis to quantify structural connectivity of the hippocampal-related episodic memory network and its association with memory performance in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of cervical cord MRI and brain magnetization transfer imaging to the assessment of individual patients with multiple sclerosis: a preliminary study.
Marco Rovaris,Markus Holtmannspötter,Maria A. Rocca,G. Iannucci,Maria Codella,Beatrice Viti,Adriana Campi,G. Comi,Tarek A. Yousry,Massimo Filippi +9 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data support a more extensive use of cervical cord MRI and brain MTI to differentiate between MS and other disorders in case of inconclusive findings on T2-weighted MRI scans of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping white matter damage distribution in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with a multimodal MRI approach.
TL;DR: Fractional anisotropy preservation, associated with increased mean diffusivity and reduced T1/T2-weighted ratio may reflect astrocyte damage, is higher at periventricular level in multiple sclerosis and diffuse in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action observation training modifies brain gray matter structure in healthy adult individuals.
Maria A. Rocca,Silvia Fumagalli,Elisabetta Pagani,Roberto Gatti,Gianna C Riccitelli,Paolo Preziosa,Giancarlo Comi,Andrea Falini,Massimo Filippi +8 more
TL;DR: Ten-day AOT in healthy individuals modifies GM structure, promoting structural brain plasticity and functional competence, in healthy subjects following AOT.
