Variation in brain lateralization during various language tasks: a functional transcranial Doppler studyNathalie Stroobant
Department of Internal Medicine, Section Neurology, Laboratory for Neuropsychology, University Ghent, De Pintelaan 185, 4K3, 9000 Ghent, Belgium
Behav Brain Res 199:190-6. 2009..The use of a variety of language tasks in the determination of language lateralization therefore appears to be essential in providing a more comprehensive view of language functioning...
Depression, anxiety, and neuropsychological performance in coronary artery bypass graft patients: a follow-up studyNathalie Stroobant
University Hospital, Ghent, Laboratory for Neuropsychology, 4K3, De Pintelaan 185, B 9000, Ghent, Belgium
Psychosomatics 49:326-31. 2008..Undergoing coronary-artery bypass surgery (CABG) remains a significant life-event, with an important psycho-emotional impact on patients and their families...
Neuropsychological functioning 3-5 years after coronary artery bypass grafting: does the pump make a difference?Nathalie Stroobant
Centre for Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Ghent, De Pintelaan 185, Ghent, Belgium
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 34:396-401. 2008..Neurocognitive sequelae after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are frequently reported. The present study investigated the possible difference between on- and off-pump CABG patients in a long-term perspective...
Effect of cardiovascular disease on hemodynamic response to cognitive activation: a functional transcranial Doppler studyN Stroobant
Center for Cardiac Surgery, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Eur J Neurol 11:749-54. 2004..Using functional TCD we found that BFV values during activation were significantly lower in cardiac patients compared with healthy controls. Future research should focus on the possible explanations of this phenomenon...

Department of Psychiatry, University Ghent, Ghent, Belgium
Stroke 30:2152-8. 1999..We sought to investigate the lateralization of BFV acceleration induced by a variety of cognitive tasks and to determine the influence of age, gender, IQ, and quality of the performance on the relative BFV changes...

Department of Psychiatry and the Neuropsychology, Center for Cardiac Surgery, University of Ghent, Belgium
Neuropsychol Rev 10:213-31. 2000..We recommend future agreement upon a more standardized methodology. TCD promises to be a useful tool to provide further insight into the cerebral organization and temporal reactivity of the human brain...

Test-retest reliability of functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonographyN Stroobant
Centre for Cardiac Surgery, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
Ultrasound Med Biol 27:509-14. 2001..We conclude that functional neuroimaging studies based on blood flow data should preferably select cognitive paradigms that demonstrated sufficient test-retest reliability...

Department of Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Br J Surg 99:1304-13. 2012..This study aimed to evaluate how effectively real interventions are replicated by patient-specific rehearsal technology, and to assess its value as a preparatory tool for the interventionalist and the operating team...
Cerebral hemodynamics during discrimination of prosodic and semantic emotion in speech studied by transcranial doppler ultrasonographyGuy Vingerhoets
Laboratory for Neuropsychology, Ghent University, Belgium
Neuropsychology 17:93-9. 2003..When attention was shifted to affective prosody, the lateralization effect disappeared as a result of a marked increase in right-hemispheric BFV...
Reliability and validity of day-to-day blood flow velocity reactivity in a single subject: an fTCD studyGuy Vingerhoets
Laboratory for Neuropsychology, Ghent University, Belgium
Ultrasound Med Biol 28:197-202. 2002..Reproducibility was poorer in the ACA, with 3 outliers. A strategy that calculates the average of multiple short activation epochs within the same session appears to improve the reliability of the lateralisation index...
