September 13-15, 20237th International Symposium on GABA and Advanced MRS @ Bergen (Norway)Kia participated in this interesting symposium learning about the latest ongoing research and methods. She also presented her own work on: “Neurometabolic Changes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.“

September 11-14, 2023MRtrix3 Workshop @ KU LeuvenIf you want to know the latest state-of- the-art of how to analyse diffusion weighted data the MRtrix3 course in Leuven is the place to be! With this technique we are able to visualise and measure different properties of white matter tracts in the brain.

September 8-10, 2023fMRS Symposium 2023 @ Bangor (Wales)Koen attended the functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy conference in Bangor. “It is impressive how the field is moving forward and what the possibilities are for researching neurometabolic dynamics at the level of the brain. For me personally, these techniques will offer new opportunities to investigate the effects ofContinue reading

July 22-26, 2023OHBM Conference 2023 Melina and Shanti represented BRAINS-lab at the Organisation for Human Brain Mapping in Montreal. Not only did they showcase their latest TMS research on brain connectivity and motor control/learning, they also had time to network with international experts from other top-level institutions.

July 3rd, 2023Research stay of Melina Hehl at Yale UniversityWe are proud to announce that our colleague Melina has started a 3-month research stay at the research group of Richard Carson at the prestigious Yale PET Center, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, New Haven (CT, USA). During this stay, she will expand her knowledgeContinue reading

June, 6th, 2023Belgian Society for Neuroscience conference in BrusselsShanti Van Malderen showcased her latest research regarding cerebellar inhibition in older adults and Melina Hehl presented how to measure the magnetic field of your TMS coil. On top of that Melina was awarded the prize for the best oral presentation. Congratulations!

April, 28th, 2023Presenting recent findings on brain neurometabolism in persons with Diabetes @ FIRRI symposium 2023Kia and Jitske were selected to give an oral presentation at the FIRRI symposium in Ghent!

May, 27th, 2023BRAINS-lab @ NerdlandMelina and Koen were happy to explain 2500 young future scientists and their parents how transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used to investigate how our brain controls our muscles!
