Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate neurological functions after spinal cord injury

Salif Axel Komi

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing event. People who suffer from it lose their ability to move normally and are subject to life-threatening symptoms. When the insult is not too severe, partial recovery is possible. Otherwise, for severely affected ...

Gene replacement therapy provides benefit in an adult mouse model of Leigh syndrome

Johan Auwerx

Mutations in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are responsible for a broad spectrum of disorders among which Leigh syndrome is the most common in infancy. No effective therapies are available for this severe disease mainly because of the limited capabili ...

Decoding of grasping tasks from intraneural recordings in trans-radial amputee

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Objective. A major challenge in neuroprosthetics is the restoration of sensory-motor hand functions in upper-limb amputees. Neuroprostheses based on the direct re-connection of the peripheral nerves may be an interesting approach for re-establishing the na ...

Tutorial: a computational framework for the design and optimization of peripheral neural interfaces

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Giacomo Valle

Peripheral neural interfaces have been successfully used in the recent past to restore sensory-motor functions in disabled subjects and for the neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system. The optimization of these neural interfaces is crucial for ethi ...

Integration of hybrid material systems in conformable neural interfaces

Florian Dylan Fallegger

Neural interfaces are devices that are implanted into the body and interface electrically with the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system. They are inserted surgically for short periods of time or chronically to diagnose or treat several neural disease ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Marco Solcà, Robin Mange, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

Neural signal recording and processing in somatic neuroprosthetic applications. A review

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Andrea Cimolato

Neurointerfaces have acquired major relevance as both rehabilitative and therapeutic tools for patients with spinal cord injury, limb amputations and other neural disorders. Bidirectional neural interfaces are a key component for the functional control of ...

TMS-induced control of bodily self-consciousness by combining non-invasive brain stimulation and immersive virtual reality

Matteo Franza

Our brain constantly receives and integrates a flow of sensory and motor information that shapes the way our body is represented. Several experimental approaches have been proposed to alter the body representation, by manipulating exteroceptive or interoce ...

A Neural Primitive model with Sensorimotor Coordination for Dynamic Quadruped Locomotion with Malfunction Compensation

Auke Ijspeert, Azhar Aulia Saputra

In the field of quadruped locomotion, dynamic locomotion behavior, and rich integration with sensory feedback represents a significant development. In this paper, we present an efficient neural model, which includes CPG and its sensorimotor coordination, a ...

Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

Maurizio Molinari, Francesca Bianchi

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B ...

Altered interplay between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A neuropathy

Bernard Schneider, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Catherine Maclachlan, Roman Chrast, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Omar El Mansour, Manisha Juneja

Mutations in the MFN2 gene encoding Mitofusin 2 lead to the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A), a dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy. Mitofusin 2 is localized at both the outer membrane of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticul ...
