Human EEG reveals distinct neural correlates of power and precision grasping types

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Huaijian Zhang, Tiffany Corbet

Hand grasping is a sophisticated motor task that has received much attention by the neuroscientific community, which demonstrated how grasping activates a network involving parietal, pre-motor and motor cortices using fMRI, ECoG, LFPs and spiking activity. ...

Layer, cell-type and pathway-specific thalamocortical input to mouse somatosensory cortex

Berat Semihcan Sermet

In the mouse whisker system, sensory information is relayed to the whisker somatosensory cortex by two major thalamic nuclei, the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM) and the posterior medial nucleus (POM). While the cortical axonal innervation pattern o ...

Cholinergic, Glutamatergic, and GABAergic Neurons of the Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nucleus Have Distinct Effects on Sleep/Wake Behavior in Mice

The pedunculopontine tegmental (PPT) nucleus has long been implicated in the regulation of cortical activity and behavioral states, including rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. For example, electrical stimulation of the PPT region during sleep leads to rapid ...

The mechanism of sirtuin 2-mediated exacerbation of alpha-synuclein toxicity in models of Parkinson disease

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Magdalena Zweckstetter, Sebastian Kugler

Sirtuin genes have been associated with aging and are known to affect multiple cellular pathways. Sirtuin 2 was previously shown to modulate proteotoxicity associated with age-associated neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease ( ...

Motor imagery in spinal cord injured people is modulated by somatotopic coding, perspective taking, and post-lesional chronic pain

Polona Pozeg, Michele Scandola

Motor imagery (MI) allows one to mentally represent an action without necessarily performing it. Importantly, however, MI is profoundly influenced by the ability to actually execute actions, as demonstrated by the impairment of this ability as a consequenc ...

Dopamine induces soluble alpha-synuclein oligomers and nigrostriatal degeneration

Elpida Tsika

Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy body inclusions containing aggregated alpha-synuclein. Efforts to explain dopamine neuron vulnerability are hindered by the lack of do ...

alpha-Synuclein-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration in a rat model of Parkinson's disease occurs independent of ATP13A2 (PARK9)

Bernard Schneider, Elpida Tsika, Liliane Glauser, Alessandra Musso, Guillaume Daniel, Darren Moore, Aris Nikolaos Fiser

Mutations in the ATP13A2 (PARK9) gene cause early-onset, autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD) and Kufor-Rakeb syndrome. ATP13A2 mRNA is spliced into three distinct isoforms encoding a P5-type ATPase involved in regulating heavy metal transport acro ...

Photobiomodulation Suppresses Alpha-Synuclein-Induced Toxicity in an AAV-Based Rat Genetic Model of Parkinson's Disease

Hubert van den Bergh, Hilal Lashuel, Georges Wagnières, Abid Oueslati, Blaise Lovisa, John Perrin

Converging lines of evidence indicate that near-infrared light treatment, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), may exert beneficial effects and protect against cellular toxicity and degeneration in several animal models of human pathologies, including n ...

Automatic target validation based on neuroscientific literature mining for tractography

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Sean Lewis Hill, Jocelyne Bloch, Bogdan Draganski, Renaud Luc Richardet, Xavier Vasques, David Slater

Target identification for tractography studies requires solid anatomical knowledge validated by an extensive literature review across species for each seed structure to be studied. Manual literature review to identify targets for a given seed region is ted ...
