    New publication in Nature Reviews Neurology

    Linda was invited to write a review on network perspectives in glioma, together with Jaap and Ayan Mandal! They describe how adult glioma is associated with a wide range of symptoms and variable survival that are not fully explained by tumour location or subtype. As we know very well in the team, recent work suggests…

  • Thanks Brigit!

    Thanks Brigit!

    We said goodbye to our amazing research coordinator Brigit Thomassen. Over the last two years Brigit has been a valuable part of our team, active in both GRIP and MULTINET to organize and oversee data collection and help optimize patients’ research participation experience. Her dedication, organization and positive energy were a joy to have in…

    Mona and Maxine publish their latest over the summer

    We’re kicking off the academic year with some fantastic news: both Mona and Maxine have just published their latest papers. Mona explored the interesting question of whether increased brain activity – already associated to tumor progression- also relates to neurocognitive symptoms in people with gliomas. Find the full publication here. Maxine took a data-driven approach to investigate…

    Maxine & Lucas present at CCA

    At the annual Cancer Center Amsterdam retreat in Noordwijkerhout, Maxine presented the GRIP group’s work on the “Efficacy of blended cognitive behavioral therapy for fatigue in stable diffuse glioma: an RCT”. Her abstract was selected for the plenary session! Lucas also presented at this retreat, with his poster on “Unravelling the crosstalk between glioma and…

  • Modeling brain dynamics in brain tumor patients using The Virtual Brain

    By Shanna Kulik, Tianne Numan, Linda Douw Update: this paper has now been published in Eneuro! With great interest we read the recent BioRxiv contribution by Aerts and colleagues (2018). We would here like to informally offer some of our thoughts and suggestions on this piece of work. In this simulation study, Aerts and colleagues…

  • New paper: the connectomic profile of glioma patients and its clinical correlates

    In our latest paper we show that in glioma patients connections between different brain areas are affected on a broad scale. Specifically connections linked to brain regions that play a central role in information processing (hubs) are altered. By analysing 71 functional MRI scans of glioma (brain tumor) patients and a cohort of healthy controls…
