Multimodal transcriptomic atlases of mouse spinal cord injury

A spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular responses involving inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine release, apoptosis, demyelination, excitotoxicity, ischemia, and the formation of a fibrotic scar surrounded by an astro ...

Overexpression of human alpha-Synuclein leads to dysregulated microbiome/metabolites with ageing in a rat model of Parkinson disease

Hilal Lashuel, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Florian Lang, Joan Romani Aumedes, Yogesh Singh

Background Braak's hypothesis states that sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) follows a specific progression of pathology from the peripheral to the central nervous system, and this progression can be monitored by detecting the accumulation of alpha-Synuclei ...

Sharpening the blades of the dentate gyrus: how adult-born neurons differentially modulate diverse aspects of hippocampal learning and memory

Gabriel Berdugo Vega

For decades, the mammalian hippocampus has been the focus of cellular, anatomical, behavioral, and computational studies aimed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying cognition. Long recognized as the brain's seat for learning and memory, a ...

Structure-function coupling increases during interictal spikes in temporal lobe epilepsy: A graph signal processing study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Patric Hagmann

Objective: Structure-function coupling remains largely unknown in brain disorders. We studied this coupling during interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs), using graph signal processing in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). ...

Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation

Anthony Pierre Robert Renard

Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...

Shedding light on excessive crying in babies

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...

Investigation and modeling of odors release from membrane holes on daily overlay in a landfill and its impact on landfill odor control

Sami Rtimi

In the present work, we studied the NH(3)and H2S odor fluxes between the exposed working area and the HDPE covering film holes of the daily overlay in an actual landfill site with a daily operating area of 1600 m(2)in Hangzhou, China. We showed that the od ...

Match Making in Sensory Cortex

Sylvain Crochet

Cortical sensory areas are supposed to encode immediate sensory inputs. In this issue of Neuron, Condylis et al. (2020) show that they can also recall information about a past event when in need of comparing two temporally segregated sensory inputs. ...

The role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in dorsomedial prefrontal-amygdala neural circuitry during positive-social emotion regulation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Gwladys Rey, Yury Koush

Positive-social emotions mediate one's cognitive performance, mood, well-being, and social bonds, and represent a critical variable within therapeutic settings. It has been shown that the upregulation of positive emotions in social situations is associated ...

Microfluidic device performing on flow study of serial cell–cell interactions of two cell populations

Philippe Renaud, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, George Coukos, Thamani Dahoun, Alexandre Harari, Marion Arnaud

In this study we present a novel microfluidic hydrodynamic trapping device to probe the cell–cell interaction between all cell samples of two distinct populations. We have exploited an hydrodynamic trapping method using microfluidics to immobilize a batch ...

Notch2 Signaling Maintains NSC Quiescence in the Murine Ventricular-Subventricular Zone

Freddy Radtke

Neurogenesis continues in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) of the adult forebrain from quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs). V-SVZ NSCs are a reservoir for new olfactory bulb (OB) neurons that migrate through the rostral migratory stream (RMS). To ...

The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory

Wei Tang

Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...

Evolution of Acid-Sensing Olfactory Circuits in Drosophilids

Matteo Dal Peraro, Benoîte Bargeton

Animals adapt their behaviors to specific ecological niches, but the genetic and cellular basis of nervous system evolution is poorly understood. We have compared the olfactory circuits of the specialist Drosophila sechellia-which feeds exclusively on Mori ...

The gram-negative sensing receptor PGRP-LC contributes to grooming induction in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Behavioral resistance protects insects from microbial infection. However, signals inducing insect hygiene behavior are still relatively unexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that olfactory signals from microbes enhance insect hygiene behavior, and gu ...

Subject-Independent Odor Pleasantness Classification Using Brain and Peripheral Signals

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Eleni Kroupi

Enhanced sensation of reality from multimedia contents can be achieved by creating realistic multimedia environments, using visual, auditory, and olfactory information. Although the affective information from video and audio has been extensively studied, t ...

A Graph-Based Formation Algorithm for Odor Plume Tracing

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares

Odor plume tracing is a challenging robotics application, made difficult by the combination of the patchy characteristics of odor distribution and the slow response of the available sensors. This work proposes a graph-based formation control algorithm to c ...

Bioinspired Selective Surface Deposition of Fragrance Delivery Systems

Kemal Arda Günay

The perception of pleasantness in many of the consumer goods is provided by volatile chemical compounds called fragrances. While the volatility of fragrances is essential to provide a pleasant olfactory response, it presents at the same time a technologi ...

Neuroligin-2 expression in the prefrontal cortex is involved in attention deficits induced by peripubertal stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Emerging evidence indicates that attention deficits, which are frequently observed as core symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders, may be elicited by early life stress. However, the mechanisms mediating these stress effects remain unknown. The prefrontal c ...
