Effect of ALlopurinol in addition to hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic Brain Injury on Neurocognitive Outcome KU Leuven
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of death or long-term disability in infants born at term in the western world, affecting about 1-4 per 1.000 life births and consequently about 5-20.000 infants per year in Europe.
Hypothermic treatment became the only established therapy to improve outcome after perinatal hypoxic-ischemic insults. Despite hypothermia and neonatal intensive care, 45-50% of affected children ...
Brain Connectivity for Executive Control over Action in Ageing. KU Leuven
One hallmark of ageing is a motor functioning decline that represents a crucial impediment for healthy and active living. This multidisciplinary project combines detailed motor and neuropsychological assessments with multimodal neuroimaging techniques in an exceptionally large sample to pave the way for cognitive training interventions to improve motor functions in older adults.
Its focus is on executive functions, i.e., high-level ...

The pandemic within: tackling brain vulnerability in COVID19 at high resolution: NEUROCOV KU Leuven
The COVID19 pandemic has shown our health care fragility vis a vis novel pathogens, with a global disruption on societal welfare. Despite the towering success of vaccine development, lack of preparedness on integrative clinical and molecular phenotyping has emerged with clarity and highlights the need to scale translational efforts for personalized prevention and therapy. Of particular concern are the long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 ...
Oligopeptidase inhibitors in brain function and dysfunction: towards new therapeutic strategies for neuroprotection (NEUROPRO). University of Antwerp
Training the next-generation of European GLIOblastoma (translational) researchers, to RESOLVE precision targeting of the brain tumour microenvironment KU Leuven
Isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype (IDHwt) glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent, aggressive and lethal brain tumour. It has a universally fatal prognosis with 85% of patients dying within two years. Effective precision medicine therapies are thus urgently required. This can only be achieved by focused multi-sectoral collaborations in innovative research disciplines. Overall, GLIORESOLVE will exploit the intractability of GBM to address ...
Europe, Brain and music: New perspectives for stimulating cognitive and sensory processes (EBRASMUS) Ghent University
The aim of the EBRAMUS project is to increase our overall understanding of brain function and to have an impact on clinical and educational applications by developing new diagnostic tools, training and rehabilitation techniques, and new music technology. The EBRAMUS team is composed of an international and interdisciplinary group of partners. The program relies on 11 projects. IPEM is the partner that takes the lead for the cochlear Implant ...
