A Computational Framework for the Design of Spinal Neuroprostheses

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Jocelyne Bloch

Severe Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) alters the communication between supra-spinal centers and the sensorimotor networks coordinating limb movements, which are usually located below the injury. Epidural electrical stimulation of lumbar segments has shown the ab ...

The Demographic and Adaptive History of the African Green Monkey

Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Relatively little is known about the evolutionary history of the African green monkey (genus Chlorocebus) due to the lack of sampled polymorphism data fromwild populations. Yet, this characterization of genetic diversity is not only critical for a better u ...

EXiO-A Brain-Controlled Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rhesus Macaques

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jeremy Olivier, Miguel Nicolelis, Tristan Hubert Vouga

Recent advances in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated enormous potential to shape the future of rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Here, a lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by the intracortical activity of an awake behaving ...

From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation

Pierluigi Giuseppe Manti

Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...

Multisensory Integration in Self Motion Perception

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna

Self motion perception involves the integration of visual, vestibular, somatosensory and motor signals. This article reviews the findings from single unit electrophysiology, functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging and psychophysics to present ...

A brain-spine interface alleviating gait deficits after spinal cord injury in primates

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jocelyne Bloch, Tomislav Milekovic, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Marco Capogrosso, Elodie Rey, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, David Allenson Borton, Simone Ellen Joze Duis

Spinal cord injury disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that orchestrate movement. To bypass the lesion, brain-computer interfaces(1-3) have directly linked cortical activity to electrical stimulation of muscles, and have th ...

Kinematic and gait similarities between crawling human infants and other quadruped mammals

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti

Crawling on hands and knees is an early pattern of human infant locomotion, which offers an interesting way of studying quadrupedalism in one of its simplest form. We investigate how crawling human infants compare to other quadruped mammals, especially pri ...

Imaging the Dynamics of Neocortical Population Activity in Behaving and Freely Moving Mammals

Carl Petersen

The development of functional imaging techniques applicable to neuroscience and covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales has greatly facilitated the exploration of the relationships between cognition, behaviour and electrical brain activity. Fo ...

Inferior frontal oscillations reveal visuo-motor matching for actions and speech: evidence from human intracranial recordings

Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta, Pär Halje

The neural correspondence between the systems responsible for the execution and recognition of actions has been suggested both in humans and non-human primates. Apart from being a key region of this visuo-motor observation-execution matching (OEM) system, ...

Leveraging biomedical informatics for assessing plasticity and repair in primate spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine

Recent preclinical advances highlight the therapeutic potential of treatments aimed at boosting regeneration and plasticity of spinal circuitry damaged by spinal cord injury (SCI). With several promising candidates being considered for translation into cli ...
