Cbp-dependent histone acetylation mediates axon regeneration induced by environmental enrichment in rodent spinal cord injury models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Claudia Kathe, Kay Alexander Bartholdi, Thomas Haynes Hutson

After a spinal cord injury, axons fail to regenerate in the adult mammalian central nervous system, leading to permanent deficits in sensory and motor functions. Increasing neuronal activity after an injury using electrical stimulation or rehabilitation ca ...

Optical projection tomography for whole organ imaging

David Nguyen

In the past twenty years, far-reaching studies of molecular and cellular processes have reached a milestone in their maturation, and the knowledge from these studies was ready to apply at higher organizational levels. At that time, rodent models were long ...

Sensorimotor processing in the rodent barrel cortex

Carl Petersen

Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents, including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate surroundings. Whiskers are moved back and forth to scan the environm ...

Neurochemical Modifications in the Hippocampus, Cortex and Hypothalamus of Mice Exposed to Long-Term High-Fat Diet

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Metabolic syndrome and diabetes impact brain function and metabolism. While it is well established that rodents exposed to diets rich in saturated fat develop brain dysfunction, contrasting results abound in the literature, likely as result of exposure to ...

A Robotic System for Adaptive Training and Function Assessment of Forelimb Retraction in Mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Maria Pasquini, Sara Conti

Rodent models are decisive for translational research in healthy and pathological conditions of motor function thanks to specific similarities with humans. Here, we present an upgraded version of the M-Platform, a robotic device previously designed to trai ...

Required growth facilitators propel axon regeneration across complete spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Mark Andrew Anderson, Nicholas David James, Cheng Wang, Sabry Leonardo Barlatey, Michael V. Sofroniew, Zhigang He

Transected axons fail to regrow across anatomically complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) in adults. Diverse molecules can partially facilitate or attenuate axon growth during development or after injury1,2,3, but efficient reversal of this regrowth failure ...

Neuroplastic Changes Following Brain Ischemia and their Contribution to Stroke Recovery: Novel Approaches in Neurorehabilitation

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai

Ischemic damage to the brain triggers substantial reorganization of spared areas and pathways, which is associated with limited, spontaneous restoration of function. A better understanding of this plastic remodeling is crucial to develop more effective str ...

Role of myeloid cells in mediating protection against parasitic helminth larvae

Beatrice Volpe

Helminth infections affect around one fourth of the world population living in the poorest regions of our planet. Helminths mainly cause debilitating chronic effects on health, development and nutritional status of infected people. The development of a vac ...

Lactoferrin during lactation reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced brain injury

Yohan Van de Looij

Lactoferrin (Lf), component of maternal milk, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Neuroprotective effects of Lf on the immature brain have been recently shown in rodent models of intrauterine growth restriction and cerebral hyp ...

Spatiotemporal neuromodulation therapies engaging muscle synergies improve motor control after spinal cord injury

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Pavel Musienko, Nikolaus Wenger, Natalia Pavlova

Electrical neuromodulation of lumbar segments improves motor control after spinal cord injury in animal models and humans. However, the physiological principles underlying the effect of this intervention remain poorly understood, which has limited the ther ...
