Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex
Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu
Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...
2024Exploring the role of cGAS-STING-mediated inflammation in age-associated neurodegeneration and antitumor immunity
Inflammation stands as a dynamic and intricate biological process, promoting vital defence mechanisms against harmful stimuli, including infections and injuries, to drive pathogen clearance and healing. On one hand, these responses can manifest acutely and ...
EPFL2024Development and clinical validation of computational imaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders often involve complex pathophysiological mechanisms that are â to this date â only partially understood. A more comprehensive understanding of those microstructural processes and their characterization ...
EPFL2024At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums
Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...
EPFL2024Epidemicity indices and reproduction numbers from infectious disease data in connected human populations
Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto
We focus on distinctive data-driven measures of the fate of ongoing epidemics. The relevance of our pursuit is suggested by recent results proving that the short-term temporal evolution of infection spread is described by an epidemicity index related to th ...
2024Non-invasive neuromodulation of the right temporoparietal junction using theta-burst stimulation in functional neurological disorder
Background Disrupted sense of agency (SoA)-the sense of being the agent of one's own actions-has been demonstrated in patients with functional neurological disorder (FND), and a key area of the corresponding neuronal network is the right temporoparietal ju ...
London2024Organ Neuroprosthetics: Connecting Transplanted and Artificial Organs with the Nervous System
Implantable neural interfaces with the central and peripheral nervous systems are currently used to restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions in disabled people with very promising results. They have also been used to modulate autonomic activities to ...
Wiley2024Optimality principles for the analysis of biological processes across scales: From enzyme kinetics to microbiome dynamics
Microorganisms are essential for life on Earth, performing key roles in numerous biological processes. Their influence extends across a wide spectrum, from human health and ecological balance to advancements in biotechnology and industrial applications. Th ...
EPFL2024Biophysically accurate and machine learning-based surrogate models to optimize neuroprosthesis design and operation
Electrical stimulation of the nervous system has emerged as a promising assistive technology in case of many injuries and illnesses across various parts of the nervous system. In particular, the invasive neuromodulation of the peripheral nervous system see ...
EPFL2024Aggregating Spatial and Photometric Context for Photometric Stereo
Photometric stereo, a computer vision technique for estimating the 3D shape of objects through images captured under varying illumination conditions, has been a topic of research for nearly four decades. In its general formulation, photometric stereo is an ...
