Robot-induced hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease depend on altered sensorimotor processing in fronto-temporal network

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara, Michela Bassolino, Michel Akselrod, Eva Blondiaux

Hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are disturbing and frequent non-motor symptoms and constitute a major risk factor for psychosis and dementia. We report a robotics-based approach applying conflicting sensorimotor stimulation, enabling the inducti ...

On Modeling Glottal Source Information for Phonation Assessment in Parkinson's Disease

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

Parkinson's disease produces several motor symptoms, including different speech impairments that are known as hypokinetic dysarthria. Symptoms associated to dysarthria affect different dimensions of speech such as phonation, articulation, prosody, and inte ...

Smart Armband with Graphene Textile Electrodes for EMG-based Muscle Fatigue Monitoring

Ata Jedari Golparvar

We report the successful acquisition of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals from an intelligent armband and its application in localized muscle fatigue monitoring with a costume-designed, small-scale front-end readout circuitry. The correlation coeffic ...

Mechanotaxis directs Pseudomonas aeruginosa twitching motility

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat, Jose Negrete Jr, Marco Julian Kühn, Joanne Netter Engel

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa explores surfaces using twitching motility powered by retractile extracellu-lar filaments called type IV pili (T4P). Single cells twitch by sequen-tial T4P extension, attachment, and retraction. How single ...

Parkinson mice show functional and molecular changes in the gut long before motoric disease onset

Hilal Lashuel, Yang Liu

Background: There is increasing evidence that Parkinson's disease (PD) might start in the gut, thus involving and compromising also the enteric nervous system (ENS). At the clinical onset of the disease the majority of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain ...

Evaluation of the NAD(+) biosynthetic pathway in ALS patients and effect of modulating NAD(+) levels in hSOD1-linked ALS mouse models

Johan Auwerx

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Astrocytes from diverse ALS models induce motor neuron death in co-culture. Enhancing NAD(+) availability, or increasing the expression of the NAD(+)-depende ...

Lack of effect on ambulation of dalfampridine-ER (4-AP) treatment in adult SMA patients

Brian Donal McCabe

SMA is a genetically determined motor system disorder that results in muscle weakness, selective motor neuron death, muscle atrophy, and impaired functional mobility. In SMA model systems, long-term treatment with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) has been shown to i ...

Evolution of the neurochemical profiles in the G93A-SOD1 mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Rolf Gruetter, Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

In vivo (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) investigations of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse brain may provide neurochemical profiles and alterations in association with ALS disease progression. We aimed to longitudinally follow neur ...

FM19G11-Loaded Gold Nanoparticles Enhance the Proliferation and Self-Renewal of Ependymal Stem Progenitor Cells Derived from ALS Mice

Francesco Stellacci

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. In ALS mice, neurodegeneration is associated with the proliferative restorative attempts of ependymal stem progenitor cells (epSPCs) that normally lie i ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...
