In vivo X-ray microtomography locally affects stem radial growth with no immediate physiological impact

Pascal Turberg, Charlotte Grossiord, Laura Mekarni, Hervé Cochard

Microcomputed tomography (mu CT) is a nondestructive X-ray imaging method used in plant physiology to visualize in situ plant tissues that enables assessments of embolized xylem vessels. Whereas evidence for X-ray-induced cellular damage has been reported, ...

Non-invasive neuromodulation of the right temporoparietal junction using theta-burst stimulation in functional neurological disorder

Serafeim Loukas

Background Disrupted sense of agency (SoA)-the sense of being the agent of one's own actions-has been demonstrated in patients with functional neurological disorder (FND), and a key area of the corresponding neuronal network is the right temporoparietal ju ...

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 ...

Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation to restore mobility after spinal cord injury

Carmina Andrea Galvez Solano

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects almost 500,000 people every year, causing complete paralysis of both legs in severe cases, with no current treatment perspective. However, new neuroengineering technologies, such as the Brain Spine Interface (BSI), have eme ...

Targeted regeneration of spinal cord neurons across a complete injury restores walking

Marco Milano

Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts axonal connections between the brain and the spinal cord, and is characterized by a spectrum of sensorimotor and autonomic impairments. While spontaneous recovery is limited, recent studies have shown that functional imp ...

Clonal relations in the mouse brain revealed by single-cell and spatial transcriptomics

Gioele La Manno

Ratz et al. present an easy-to-use method to barcode progenitor cells, enabling profiling of cell phenotypes and clonal relations using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, providing an integrated approach for understanding brain architecture. ...

A functional model of adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis

Wulfram Gerstner, Olivia Gozel

In adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis, the link between maturation of newborn neurons and their function, such as behavioral pattern separation, has remained puzzling. By analyzing a theoretical model, we show that the switch from excitation to inhibition of ...

The Appearance of the Warburg Effect in the Developing Avian Eye Characterized In Ovo: How Neurogenesis Can Remodel Neuroenergetics

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Laurent Brodier

PURPOSE. The avian eye is an established model for exploring mechanisms that coordinate morphogenesis and metabolism during embryonic development. Less is known, however, about trafficking of bioenergetic and metabolic signaling molecules that are involved ...

Longitudinal osmotic and neurometabolic changes in young rats with chronic cholestatic liver disease

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Veronika Rackayová

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (type C HE) is increasingly suspected in children with chronic liver disease (CLD), and believed to underlie long-term neurocognitive difficulties. The molecular underpinnings of type C HE in both adults and children are incom ...

Octopamine neuron dependent aggression requires dVGLUT from dual-transmitting neurons

Brian Donal McCabe

Neuromodulators such as monoamines are often expressed in neurons that also release at least one fast-acting neurotransmitter. The release of a combination of transmitters provides both "classical" and "modulatory" signals that could produce diverse and/or ...

From adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis to pattern separation

Olivia Gozel

For a few decades, adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis has been widely recognized by the neuroscience community as an intriguing phenomenon. Two observations are particularly puzzling. At the cellular level, the switch from excitation to inhibition of the GAB ...

Cbp-dependent histone acetylation mediates axon regeneration induced by environmental enrichment in rodent spinal cord injury models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Claudia Kathe, Kay Alexander Bartholdi, Thomas Haynes Hutson

After a spinal cord injury, axons fail to regenerate in the adult mammalian central nervous system, leading to permanent deficits in sensory and motor functions. Increasing neuronal activity after an injury using electrical stimulation or rehabilitation ca ...

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 ...

In vivo pulse labeling of isochronic cohorts of cells in the central nervous system using FlashTag

Subashika Govindan

The tracing of neuronal cell lineages is critical to our understanding of cellular diversity in the CNS. This protocol describes a fluorescence birth-dating technique to label, track and isolate isochronic cohorts of newborn cells in the CNS in vivo in mou ...

The physiological variability of channel density in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells and interneurons explored using a unified data-driven modeling workflow

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Ying Shi, Armando Romani, Felix Schürmann, Jean-Denis Georges Emile Courcol, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Christian Andreas Rössert, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Michele Migliore, Olivier Richard Hagens, Stefano Maximiliano Antonel, Szabolcs Kali, Carmen Alina Lupascu, Rosanna Migliore, Luca Leonardo Bologna, Audrey Mercer

Every neuron is part of a network, exerting its function by transforming multiple spatiotemporal synaptic input patterns into a single spiking output. This function is specified by the particular shape and passive electrical properties of the neuronal memb ...

Influencing axon regeneration after spinal cord injury

Mark Andrew Anderson

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a severing of axonal connections that leads to permanent sensorimotor deficits. In cases of incomplete injury, rehabilitation paradigms have been reported to be successful in improving behavioral outcome in humans with S ...
