Spatial dependence of genetic data related to human health and livestock disease resistance: a role for geography to support the One Health approach

The spatial dependence of located health and/or genetic data can be used to detect clusters likely to reveal disease prevalence or signatures of adaptation associated with characteristics of the local environment (high temperatures, air or water pollution) ...

Biodegradable scaffolds promote tissue remodeling and functional improvement in non-human primates with acute spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Tissue loss significantly reduces the potential for functional recovery after spinal cord injury. We previously showed that implantation of porous scaffolds composed of a biodegradable and biocompatible block copolymer of Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid and P ...

Remodeling of peripheral nerve ensheathment during the larval-to-adult transition in Drosophila

Soumya Banerjee, Kumar Vishal

Over the course of a 4-day period of metamorphosis, the Drosophila larval nervous system is remodeled to prepare for adult-specific behaviors. One example is the reorganization of peripheral nerves in the abdomen, where five pairs of abdominal nerves (A4-A ...

Learning with Surprise : Theory and Applications

Mohammadjavad Faraji

Everybody knows what it feels to be surprised. Surprise raises our attention and is crucial for learning. It is a ubiquitous concept whose traces have been found in both neuroscience and machine learning. However, a comprehensive theory has not yet been de ...

Reducing GABA(A)-mediated inhibition improves forelimb motor function after focal cortical stroke in mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai

A deeper understanding of post-stroke plasticity is critical to devise more effective pharmacological and rehabilitative treatments. The GABAergic system is one of the key modulators of neuronal plasticity, and plays an important role in the control of "cr ...

The effects of extrinsic stress on somatic markers and behavior are dependent on animal housing conditions

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Guillaume Poirier, Michael van der Kooij, Damien Sébastien Huzard

Properties of the environment play an important role in animal wellbeing and may modulate the effects of external threats. Whereas stressors can affect emotion and impair cognition, environmental enrichment may prevent the occurrence of such negative seque ...

Predictable enriched environment prevents development of hyper-emotionality in the VPA rat model of autism

Henry Markram, Julie Meystre, Deborah La Mendola, Kamila Markram, Mônica Regina Favre, Melissa Cochrane, Dimitri Marco Christodoulou

Understanding the effects of environmental stimulation in autism can improve therapeutic interventions against debilitating sensory overload, social withdrawal, fear and anxiety. Here, we evaluate the role of environmental predictability on behavior and pr ...

An Intact Small Animal Model of Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion: Characterization of Metabolic Changes by Hyperpolarized 13C MR Spectroscopy

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Hyperpolarized carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((13)C MRS) enables the sensitive and noninvasive assessment of the metabolic changes occurring during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion models using hyperpolarized (13)C MRS are ...
