Fast-Spiking Interneurons of the Premotor Cortex Contribute to Initiation and Execution of Spontaneous Actions

Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini

Planning and execution of voluntary movement depend on the contribution of distinct classes of neurons in primary motor and premotor areas. However, timing and pattern of activation of GABAergic cells during specific motor behaviors remain only partly unde ...

A Novel 3D-Printed/Porous Conduit with Tunable Properties to Enhance Nerve Regeneration Over the Limiting Gap Length

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite

Engineered grafts constitute an alternative to autologous transplant for repairing severe peripheral nerve injuries. However, current clinically available solutions have substantial limitations and are not suited for the repair of long nerve defects. A nov ...

Decoding bladder state from pudendal intraneural signals in pigs

Stéphanie Lacour, Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Leonardo Pollina, Valentina Marie Paggi

Neuroprosthetic devices used for the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction, such as incontinence or urinary retention, apply a pre-set continuous, open-loop stimulation paradigm, which can cause voiding dysfunctions due to neural adaptation. In the ...

Toward higher-performance bionic limbs for wider clinical use

Silvestro Micera

Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the environment with higher precision than biological limbs, but their actual perf ...

Neurotechnologies to restore hand functions

Solaiman Shokur, Silvestro Micera

Reaching and manipulating objects are crucial tasks that allow proactive interaction with our surroundings. However, these functions are lost after neurological disorders or traumatic events that cause hand paralysis. Neuroprosthetic technologies are medic ...

Early decoding of walking tasks with minimal set of EMG channels

Silvestro Micera, Federica Barberi, Eugenio Anselmino, Francesco Iberite

Objective. Powered lower-limb prostheses relying on decoding motor intentions from non-invasive sensors, like electromyographic (EMG) signals, can significantly improve the quality of life of amputee subjects. However, the optimal combination of high decod ...

Combining biophysical models and machine learning to optimize implant geometry and stimulation protocol for intraneural electrodes

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Elena Losanno, Luca Pierantoni

Objective. Peripheral nerve interfaces have the potential to restore sensory, motor, and visceral functions. In particular, intraneural interfaces allow targeting deep neural structures with high selectivity, even if their performance strongly depends upon ...

Cardiovascular response to closed-loop intraneural stimulation of the right vagus nerve: a proof-of-concept study

Silvestro Micera

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an FDA-approved technique for the neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system. There are many therapeutic applications where VNS could be used as a therapy, such as cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, depression, and inf ...

Convolutional neural network classifies visual stimuli from cortical response recorded with wide-field imaging in mice

Silvestro Micera, Daniela De Luca

Objective. The optic nerve is a good location for a visual neuroprosthesis. It can be targeted when a subject cannot receive a retinal prosthesis and it is less invasive than a cortical implant. The effectiveness of an electrical neuroprosthesis depends on ...

Immediate effect of ankle exoskeleton on spatiotemporal parameters and center of pressure trajectory after stroke

Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Silvestro Micera, Mouhamed Zorkot

Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pi ...

An attention-based deep learning approach for the classification of subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment using resting-state EEG

Silvestro Micera, Michael Lassi

Objective. This study aims to design and implement the first deep learning (DL) model to classify subjects in the prodromic states of Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on resting-state electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Approach. EEG recordings of 17 heal ...

Neural Stimulation Hardware for the Selective Intrafascicular Modulation of the Vagus Nerve

Stéphanie Lacour, Silvestro Micera, Valentina Marie Paggi

The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart fail ...

Improved Physiochemical Properties of Chitosan@PCL Nerve Conduits by Natural Molecule Crosslinking

Silvestro Micera

Nerve conduits may represent a valuable alternative to autograft for the regeneration of long-gap damages. However, no NCs have currently reached market approval for the regeneration of limiting gap lesions, which still represents the very bottleneck of th ...

Cortico-muscular connectivity is modulated by passive and active Lokomat-assisted Gait

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

The effects of robotic-assisted gait (RAG) training, besides conventional therapy, on neuroplasticity mechanisms and cortical integration in locomotion are still uncertain. To advance our knowledge on the matter, we determined the involvement of motor cort ...
