Publications by authors named "Abril Castanon-Perez"

- Abril Castanon-Perez's research primarily explores the
mirror neuron system (MNS)
in the context of
multiple sclerosis (MS)
, using advanced neuroimaging techniques such as
functional MRI
and
diffusion tensor imaging
to investigate differences between MS patients and healthy individuals.
- A significant focus of her studies is the
relationship between brain function and structure
, particularly analyzing the
amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF)
and
gray matter volume (GMV)
within the MNS, contributing valuable insights into how neurodegenerative diseases affect neural networks.
- Her findings indicate that MNS functionality may be altered in
relapsing-remitting MS patients with low disability
, showing differences in visuospatial and visuoperceptive functions, as well as revealing the importance of studying the MNS even in
resting states
to better understand its active and passive roles in cognitive processing.
