A computational modeling approach to study the neuromechanics of terrestrial locomotion
The main theme of my thesis will be to use neuro-muscular modeling techniques to study locomotion of terrestrial mammals. Locomotion is the ability of animals to interact with the environment to propel themselves in space. It involves co-ordination and pre ...
EPFL2022Mitochondrial Pseudogenes Suggest Repeated Inter-Species Hybridization among Direct Human Ancestors
The hypothesis that the evolution of humans involves hybridization between diverged species has been actively debated in recent years. We present the following novel evidence in support of this hypothesis: the analysis of nuclear pseudogenes of mtDNA ("NUM ...
MDPI2022From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation
Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...
EPFL2016A mechatronic platform for behavioral analysis on nonhuman primates
In this work we present a new mechatronic platform for measuring behavior of nonhuman primates, allowing high reprogrammability and providing several possibilities of interactions. The platform is the result of a multidisciplinary design process, which has ...
2012Animal Models of Neurologic Disorders: A Nonhuman Primate Model of Spinal Cord Injury
Primates are an important and unique animal resource. We have developed a nonhuman primate model of spinal cord injury (SCI) to expand our knowledge of normal primate motor function, to assess the impact of disease and injury on sensory and motor function, ...
2012Multicomponent Syntheses of Macrocycles
How to access efficiently the macrocyclic structure remained to be a challenging synthetic topic. Although many elegant approaches/reactions have been developed, construction of diverse collection of macrocycles is still elusive. This chapter summarized th ...

Springer2010Efficient transduction of non-human primate motor neurons after intramuscular delivery of recombinant AAV serotype 6
Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne
Retrograde transport of viral vectors in the rodent spinal cord provides a powerful means to administer a therapeutic transgene from the innervated musculature. With the aim of scaling up this approach to non-human primates, we have injected recombinant ad ...
2010Where sound position influences sound object representations: A 7-T fMRI study
Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Stephanie Clarke
Evidence from human and non-human primate studies supports a dual-pathway model of audition, with partially segregated cortical networks for sound recognition and sound localisation, referred to as the What and Where processing streams. In normal subjects, ...
