Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by social difficulties. Research trying to explain these difficulties has focused mostly on problems with understanding others, but there are indications that the U+2018se
Towards a more comprehensive understanding of catecholaminergic consequences in dynamic network topology and salience processing Ghent University
The network structure and organisation of the human brain has become of increasing interest to the neuroscientific community. Here, the brain can be viewed as a system with various interacting regions that produce complex behaviours. Previous work has sho
Closed-loop precision therapy for epilepsy using photopharmacology Ghent University
Thirty percent of patients with epilepsy keep having seizures despite medical treatment. Because anti-epileptic medication affects almost the entire nervous system, there are often many serious side effects. This interdisciplinary project aims to combine

Up for Brains! U+2013 evaluating the effect of standing desks in the classroom on adolescentsU+2019 cognitive function. Ghent University
High levels of sedentary time are related to negative health outcomes. As sedentary time is already
highly prevalent in adolescence, effective strategies are needed to tackle this health problem.
Adolescents spend the majority of the day in a classroom while sitting at a desk, suggesting the
classroom is an important setting for implementing specific strategies to reduce sedentary time.
One of the strategies that gained ...
