Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
In recent years, the in vivo study of the central nervous system has undergone significant advancement through the implementation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based neuroimaging techniques. In particular, the advent of high- and ultra-high-field MRI systems has substantially contributed to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neurological diseases and has supported the development of personalized approaches in medicine. In the field of neuroimaging, the application of MRI techniques to investigate brain function and connectivity in vivo is increasingly expanding at ultra-high magnetic field strength (7T). This research project aims to develop, implement, and optimize advanced techniques to improve image quality through deep learning-based approaches and real-time monitoring of magnetic field fluctuations, with the goal of achieving functional neuroimaging at very high spatial and temporal resolution on a 7T scanner. These techniques will be applied in healthy volunteers to address fundamental questions in basic neuroscience, as well as in clinical populations with central nervous system disorders, including patients with focal epilepsy and patients with congenital brain lesions associated with persistent neurological deficits. The basic neuroscience component will allow investigation of mechanisms of brain function and connectivity between eloquent cortical regions and subcortical structures. In the clinical setting, improved delineation of activation maps in eloquent brain areas and characterization of their reorganization under pathological conditions are expected to enhance personalized therapeutic decision-making and deepen our understanding of neuroplasticity mechanisms, with potential impact on clinical care pathways.
