Projects
Functional MRI laboratory has, since its start in 2003, focused on several major research topics:
- functional mapping of critical cortical areas prior to brain surgery
- functional anatomy and plasticity of the motor system in healthy volunteers
- changes of hemodynamic response (cerebrovascular reactivity) in carotid disease (supported by grant IGA MH CR NR7830, 2003-2005, PI R. Herzig)
- multi-modal facilitation of cortical motor control in people with one-sided weakness after stroke (supported by grant IGA MH CR NR8367, 2005-2007, PI P. Hluštík)
- changes in motor system activation resulting from botulinum toxin treatment of post-stroke arm spasticity (supported by grant IGA MH CR NR9220, 2008-2011, and NT13575, 2012-2015, PI P. Kaňovský, co-PI P. Hluštík)
- sensorimotor system plasticity in cervical spondylogenic myelopathy and changes after spinal decompression (supported by grant IGA MH CR NT14609, 2013-2015, PI L. Hrabálek, co-PI P. Hluštík)
- central and autonomic correlates of sustained peripheral stimulation in human subjects (supported by grant GA CR 14-22572S, 2014-2016, PI P. Hluštík)
- central effects of botulinum toxin treatment in cervical dystonia (supported by grant of the Czech Health Research Council 2016-2019, PI M. Nevrlý, co-PI P. Hluštík)
- morphological and pathophysiological changes of the retina and visual pathway in optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis (supported by grant of the Czech Health Research Council NV19-06-00216, 2019-2022)
- advanced magnetic resonance techniques to disclose pathophysiology and improve diagnosis and clinical management of degenerative cervical cord compression (supported by grants of the Czech Health Research Council NV18-04-00159, 2018-2021 and NU22-04-00024, 2022-2025, co-PI P. Hluštík)
