Hussein Youssef – Bilateral scientific collaboration awarded!
We are happy to announce that Hussein Youssef was awarded a grant for a bilateral scientific cooperation between Koç University and Hasselt University under the promotorship of Prof. Atay Vural and Prof. Koen Cuypers. In this project, that will be carried-out at the REVAL research center (UHasselt), Hussein will use an innovative non-invasive brain stimulation approach with the goal to improve brain function and motor control in persons with multiple sclerosis.

New paper!
We used TMS mapping to investigate differences in lateralization and distinctiveness of cortical motor representations over the adult lifespan. This work is published open-access. The full pdf version of the paper can be downloaded here.
