PDMS Microchannel Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface

Stéphanie Lacour, Katherine Marie Musick

We have fabricated a soft silicone structure to support the regeneration of a sciatic nerve. The device consists of 70 parallel (120 x 110 mu m(2)) channels through which axons extend and then reconnect to the muscles on the other side of the device. Throu ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of peripheral nerves: Differences in magnetization transfer

Giulio Gambarota

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent imaging modality for soft tissues. Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging is an MRI technique that is sensitive to the bound protons of macromolecules and therefore can aid in the assessment of ne ...

Phase-dependent modulation of percutaneously elicited multisegmental muscle responses after spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine

Phase-dependent modulation of monosynaptic reflexes has been reported for several muscles of the lower limb of uninjured rats and humans. To assess whether this step-phase-dependent modulation can be mediated at the level of the human spinal cord, we compa ...

T2 Relaxometry of Human Median Nerve

Giulio Gambarota

This article examines the T2 relaxation characteristics of the median nerve. Knowledge of the T2 relaxation time is essential to optimize clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols and to enhance the visibility of pathophysiological changes in tis ...

Array electrode design for transcutaneous electrical stimulation: A simulation study

Silvestro Micera

Array electrodes are a promising technology that is likely to bring transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) a step forward. The dynamic adaptation of electrode size and position helps to simplify the use of electrical stimulation systems and to increas ...

Mechanoelectric feedback in cardiomyocyte monolayers and whole hearts in response to stretch

Barbara Murienne

Stretch has been shown to induce electrophysiological changes in the whole heart and cardiomyocyte monolayer models. However, the mechano-electric mechanisms responsible for these changes are still not completely understood. In this project, micropatterned ...

Accurate Real-time Feedback of Surface EMG during fMRI

Roger Gassert

Real-time acquisition of electromyography (EMG) during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides a novel method of controlling motor experiments in the scanner using feedback of EMG. Due to the redundancy in the human muscle system this is not ...

Magnetic resonance imaging and T2 relaxometry of human median nerve at 7 Tesla

Giulio Gambarota

Measurements of T2 relaxation times in tissues have provided a unique, noninvasive method to investigate the microenvironment of water molecules in vivo. As more clinical imaging is performed at higher field strengths, tissue relaxation times need to be re ...

Induction of an illusory shadow person

Olaf Blanke

Stimulation of a site on the brain's left hemisphere prompts the creepy feeling that somebody is close by. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present has been described by psychiatric and neurological patients, as well as ...

GDNF and NGF released by synthetic guidance channels support sciatic nerve regeneration across a long gap

Patrick Aebischer, Eric Garrison Fine

The present work was performed to determine the ability of neurotrophic factors to allow axonal regeneration across a 15-mm-long gap in the rat sciatic nerve. Synthetic nerve guidance channels slowly releasing NGF and GDNF were fabricated and sutured to th ...
