Biomedical optical techniques for intracochlear cellular imaging

Imaging the inner ear microanatomy is of great importance for the assessment of the state of the cells responsible for sound detection. Hearing disorders are mainly due to a malfunction of the cochlea, the bone containing the cells inside the inner ear. Un ...

Sad faces increase the heartbeat-associated interoceptive information flow within the salience network: a MEG study

Young Min Kim, Hyeongdong Park

The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that the cortical representation of visceral signals is a crucial component of emotional processing. No previous study has investigated the information flow among brain regions that process visceral information during ...

You or me? Disentangling perspectival, perceptual, and integrative mechanisms in heterotopagnosia

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Aurélie Bouzerda-Wahlen

Heterotopagnosia-without-Autotopagnosia (HwA) is characterized by the incapacity to point to body parts on others, but not on one's own body. This has been classically interpreted as related to a self-other distinction, with impaired visual representations ...

Soft multimodal neural interfaces for unravelling sensory neurological circuits

Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud

Diseases or injuries affecting the nervous system can dramatically disrupt the quality of life. Despite extensive efforts towards treating dysfunctional nervous systems, the pharmacological and electrical approaches generally involved lack the temporal and ...

A null model of the mouse whole-neocortex micro-connectome

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Ying Shi, Huanxiang Lu

In connectomics, the study of the network structure of connected neurons, great advances are being made on two different scales: that of macro- and meso-scale connectomics, studying the connectivity between populations of neurons, and that of micro-scale c ...

Untangling emergent cortical dynamics: neurons from networks, noise from chaos

Max Christian Nolte

The way in which cortical microcircuit components -- most importantly neurons -- and their connectivity -- the network -- shape and constrain emergent dynamics is a long-standing question in neuroscience. Experimentally observed dynamical properties can of ...

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hua Zhang, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis, Andrea Biasiucci, Tiffany Corbet, Thomas Schmidlin, Dragana Viceic

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear. Here we show that BCI coupled to functio ...

Two-phase calibration of a neuroprosthetic system

Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Marco Capogrosso, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar

Methods and systems are provided for triggering electrical stimulation of a spinal cord during execution of a motor event. In one example, a method comprises monitoring motor cortex activity while execution of a desired motor movement is attempted during a ...

Imaging neural activity in the ventral nerve cord of behaving adult Drosophila

Michaël Unser, Pavan P Ramdya, Chin-Lin Chen, Florian Aymanns, Denis Fortun, Laura Joan Hermans

To understand neural circuits that control limbs, one must measure their activity during behavior. Until now this goal has been challenging, because limb premotor and motor circuits have been largely inaccessible for large-scale recordings in intact, movin ...

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 ...

A microfabricated nerve-on-a-chip platform for rapid assessment of neural conduction in explanted peripheral nerve fibers

Sandra Gribi, Stéphanie Lacour, Diego Ghezzi, Sophie du Bois de Dunilac

Peripheral nerves are anisotropic and heterogeneous neural tissues. Their complex physiology restricts realistic in vitro models, and high resolution and selective probing of axonal activity. Here, we present a nerve-on-a-chip platform that enables rapid e ...
