Unveiling the complexity of learning and decision-making

Reinforcement learning (RL) is crucial for learning to adapt to new environments. In RL, the prediction error is an important component that compares the expected and actual rewards. Dopamine plays a critical role in encoding these prediction errors. In my ...

Tape-Stripping Electrochemical Detection of Melanoma

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Tzu-En Lin, Yingdi Zhu, Sorour Darvishi

A noninvasive electrochemical melanoma detection approach based on using adhesive tapes for collecting and fixing cells from a suspicious skin area and transferring the cells into a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) is presented. The adhesive laye ...

Inhaling xenon ameliorates l -dopa-induced dyskinesia in experimental parkinsonism

Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Shiqi Sun

Parkinson's disease motor symptoms are treated with levodopa, but long‐term treatment leads to disabling dyskinesia. Altered synaptic transmission and maladaptive plasticity of corticostriatal glutamatergic projections play a critical role in the pathophys ...

Dopamine induces soluble alpha-synuclein oligomers and nigrostriatal degeneration

Elpida Tsika

Parkinson's disease (PD) is defined by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of Lewy body inclusions containing aggregated alpha-synuclein. Efforts to explain dopamine neuron vulnerability are hindered by the lack of do ...

Multiple scanning electrochemical microscopy mapping of tyrosinase in micro-contact printed fruit samples on polyvinylidene fluoride membrane

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Liang Qiao, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Tzu-En Lin, Alexandra Bondarenko

Herein, we introduce three orthogonal and compatible methods for detecting tyrosinase, a key factor in fruit browning and skin disorders, with high spatial resolution by means of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). All methods are performed subsequ ...

Cathodic pretreatment improves the resistance of boron-doped diamond electrodes to dopamine fouling

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon

The resistance of cathodically and anodically treated boron-doped diamond electrodes to dopamine fouling was investigated. It was found, using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, that the cathodic preparation offers an increased ...

Overexpression of parkin in the rat nigrostriatal dopamine system protects against methamphetamine neurotoxicity

Bernard Schneider

Methamphetamine (METH) is a central nervous system psychostimulant with a high potential for abuse. At high doses, METH causes a selective degeneration of dopaminergic terminals in the striatum, sparing other striatal terminals and cell bodies. We previous ...

The anti-Parkinsonian drug selegiline delays the nucleation phase of α-synuclein aggregation leading to the formation of nontoxic species

Hilal Lashuel, Saviana Di Giovanni

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the formation of intraneuronal inclusions called Lewy bodies, which are composed mainly of α-synuclein (α-syn). Selegiline (Sel) i ...

Dose optimization for long-term rAAV-mediated RNA interference in the nigrostriatal projection neurons

Patrick Aebischer

Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated gene knockdown is a powerful tool for targeted gene silencing and an emerging novel therapeutic strategy. Recent publications, however, reported unexpected toxicity after utilizing viral-mediated shRNA knockdown in vivo. ...

Surface modifications based on the cyanobacterial siderophore anachelin: from structure to functional biomaterials design

Karl Gademann, Jean-Yves Wach, Joanna Kobylinska, Tom Woods

This review describes the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel catechol based anchors for surface modification. The anachelin chromophore, the catecholate fragment of the siderophore anachelin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, allows for th ...

Study of a Swiss dopa-responsive dystonia family with a deletion in GCH1 - Redefining DYT14 as DYT5

Objective: To report the study of a multigenerational Swiss family with dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD). ...

Lentivirally delivered glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor increases the number of striatal dopaminergic neurons in primate models of nigrostriatal degeneration

Patrick Aebischer, Nicole Déglon

The primate striatum contains tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive (ir) neurons, the numbers of which are augmented after dopamine depletion. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) strongly modulates the viability and phenotypic expression ...

Neurodegeneration prevented by lentiviral vector delivery of GDNF in primate models of Parkinson's disease

Didier Trono, Patrick Aebischer, Nicole Déglon

Lentiviral delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (lenti-GDNF) was tested for its trophic effects upon degenerating nigrostriatal neurons in nonhuman primate models of Parkinson's disease (PD). We injected lenti-GDNF into the striatum and ...
