Non-invasive optical spectroscopy and imaging of human brain function

A Villringer, B Chance - Trends in neurosciences, 1997 - cell.com
Brain activity is associated with changes in optical properties of brain tissue. Optical
measurements during brain activation can assess haemoglobin oxygenation, cytochrome-c-oxidase …

Coupling of brain activity and cerebral blood flow: basis of functional neuroimaging.

A Villringer, U Dirnagl - Cerebrovascular and brain metabolism …, 1995 - europepmc.org
The coupling of brain cell function to the vascular system is the basis for a number of functional
neuroimaging methods relevant for human studies. These include methods as diverse as …

Beyond the visible—imaging the human brain with light

H Obrig, A Villringer - Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & …, 2003 - journals.sagepub.com
Optical approaches to investigate cerebral function and metabolism have long been applied
in invasive studies. From the neuron cultured in vitro to the exposed cortex in the human …

Toward discovery science of human brain function

…, GJ Teng, J Veijola, A Villringer… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Although it is being successfully implemented for exploration of the genome, discovery
science has eluded the functional neuroimaging community. The core challenge remains the …

Heparin treatment in sinus venous thrombosis

KM Einhäupl, A Villringer, S Mehraein, C Garner… - The Lancet, 1991 - Elsevier
Abstract Treatment of sinus venous thrombosis (SVT) is controversial. Although heparin has
been used for this condition, many investigators have opposed its use because of the …

Dynamic imaging with lanthanide chelates in normal brain: contrast due to magnetic susceptibility effects

A Villringer, BR Rosen, JW Belliveau… - Magnetic resonance …, 1988 - Wiley Online Library
Using a one‐dimensional rapid imaging technique, we have found that injection of lanthanide
chelates such as Gd(DTPA) 2− leads to a significant decrease (50%) in rat brain signal …

Precuneus shares intrinsic functional architecture in humans and monkeys

…, LQ Uddin, BB Biswal, A Villringer… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Evidence from macaque monkey tracing studies suggests connectivity-based subdivisions
within the precuneus, offering predictions for similar subdivisions in the human. Here we …

Correlates of alpha rhythm in functional magnetic resonance imaging and near infrared spectroscopy

…, F Blankenburg, B Taskin, H Obrig, A Villringer - Neuroimage, 2003 - Elsevier
We used simultaneous electroencephalogram-functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI)
and EEG-near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to investigate whether changes of the …

Dysfunction of ventral striatal reward prediction in schizophrenia

…, M Koslowski, T Wüstenberg, A Villringer… - Neuroimage, 2006 - Elsevier
Background: Negative symptoms may be associated with dysfunction of the brain reward
system in schizophrenia. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the …

Dynamic properties of human brain structure: learning-related changes in cortical areas and associated fiber connections

…, K Müller, A Horstmann, A Villringer… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent findings in neuroscience suggest that adult brain structure changes in response to
environmental alterations and skill learning. Whereas much is known about structural …
