  • Brain white matter damage and its association with neuronal synchrony during sleep 

    Sanchez, Erlan; El-Khatib, Héjar; Arbour, Caroline; Bedetti, Christophe; Blais, Hélène; Marcotte, Karine; Baril, Andrée-Ann; Descoteaux, Maxime; Gilbert, Danielle; Carrier, Julie; Gosselin, Nadia (Oxford University Press, 2019-01-28)
    The restorative function of sleep partly relies on its ability to deeply synchronize cerebral networks to create large slow oscillations observable with EEG. However, whether a brain can properly synchronize and produce a restorative sleep when it ...
  • Cerebral white matter diffusion properties and free‐water with obstructive sleep apnea severity in older adults 

    Baril, Andrée‐Ann; Gagnon, Katia; Descoteaux, Maxime; Bedetti, Christophe; Chami, Sirin; Sanchez, Erlan; Montplaisir, Jacques-Yves; De Beaumont, Louis; Gilbert, Danielle; Poirier, Judes; Pelleieux, Sandra; Osorio, Ricardo S.; Carrier, Julie; Gosselin, Nadia (Wiley, 2020-03-13)
    Characterizing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the aging brain could be key in our understanding of neurodegeneration in this population. Our objective was to assess white matter properties in newly diagnosed and untreated adults with ...
  • Evolution of severe sleep-wake cycle disturbances following traumatic brain injury: a case study in both acute and subacute phases post-injury 

    Duclos, Catherine; Dumont, Marie; Potvin, Marie-Julie; Desautels, Alex; Gilbert, Danielle; Menon, David K.; Bernard, Francis; Gosselin, Nadia (BMC, 2016)
    Background. Sleep-wake disturbances are frequently reported following traumatic brain injury (TBI), but they remain poorly documented in the acute stage of injury. Little is known about their origin and evolution. Case presentation. This study presents ...
  • Sleep in the acute phase of severe traumatic brain injury : a snapshot of polysomnography 

    Sleep and traumatic brain injury
    Wiseman-Hakes, Catherine; Duclos, Catherine; Blais, Hélène; Dumont, Marie; Bernard, Francis; Desautels, Alex; Menon, David K.; Gilbert, Danielle; Carrier, Julie; Gosselin, Nadia (SAGE, 2015-12-23)
    Background and Objectives. The onset of pervasive sleep-wake disturbances associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is poorly understood. This study aimed to (a) determine the feasibility of using polysomnography in patients in the acute, hospitalized ...
  • Sleep spindles are resilient to extensive white matter deterioration 

    Sanchez, Erlan; Arbour, Caroline; El-Khatib, Héjar; Marcotte, Karine; Blais, Hélène; Baril, Andrée-Ann; Bedetti, Christophe; Descoteaux, Maxime; Lina, Jean-Marc; Gilbert, Danielle; Carrier, Julie; Gosselin, Nadia (Oxford University Press, 2020-06-13)
    Sleep spindles are an essential part of non-rapid eye movement sleep, notably involved in sleep consolidation, cognition, learning and memory. These oscillatory waves depend on an interaction loop between the thalamus and the cortex, which relies on ...
  • Visual fixation in the intensive care unit: a strong predictor of post-traumatic amnesia and long-term recovery after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury 

    Visual fixation in the ICU
    Arbour, Caroline; Baril, Andrée-Ann; Westwick, Harrison J.; Potvin, Marie-Julie; Gilbert, Danielle; Giguère, Jean-François; Lavigne, Gilles; Desautels, Alex; Bernard, Francis; Laureys, Steven; Gosselin, Nadia (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2016-12-01)
    Objective: We examined whether visual fixation at 24h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission is superior to the initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score to predict PTA duration and long-term TBI recovery. Design: Two-phase cohort study. Setting: Level I ...
