Implicit Affective Profiling of Subjects based on Physiological Data Coupling

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Eleni Kroupi

Evidence from neuroscience and psychology supports the idea that synchronization among various sub-components of the organism is the key-point to emotional processes. This study investigates the way signals from the central nervous system interact with sig ...

Somatic and axonal LIGHT signaling elicit degenerative and regenerative responses in motoneurons, respectively

A receptor-ligand interaction can evoke a broad range of biological activities in different cell types depending on receptor identity and cell type-specific post-receptor signaling intermediates. Here, we show that the TNF family member LIGHT, known to act ...

Modular organization of reaching and grasping movements investigated using EEG microstates

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Robert Leeb, Martina Coscia, Jesús Minguillón Campos

How movements are generated and controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) is still not well understood. In this work, we tested the hypothesis of a modular organization of the brain activity during the execution of voluntary movements. In particular, ...

BCI and Motion Capture Technologies for Rehabilitation based on Videogames

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a cost-effective rehabilitation system based on videogames and multimodal recordings of physiological signals. The system targets patients with sensory-motor impairments resulting from lesions of the central nervous system (e.g., due to stroke o ...

Dampened neural activity and abolition of epileptic-like activity in cortical slices by active ingredients of spices

Henry Markram, Julie Meystre, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Johannes Le Coutre, Susana Camacho Romero, Sara Lillian Gonzalez Andino

Active ingredients of spices (AIS) modulate neural response in the peripheral nervous system, mainly through interaction with TRP channel/receptors. The present study explores how different AIS modulate neural response in layer 5 pyramidal neurons of S1 ne ...

Control of dopaminergic neuron survival by the unfolded protein response transcription factor XBP1

Bernard Schneider, Pamela Solange Valdés Undurraga

Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Although growing evidence indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a hallmark of PD, its exact contribution to th ...

Learning, Inference, and Replay of Hidden State Sequences in Recurrent Spiking Neural Networks

Dane Sterling Corneil, Emre Neftci

Learning to recognize, predict, and generate spatio-temporal patterns and sequences of spikes is a key feature of nervous systems, and essential for solving basic tasks like localization and navigation. How this can be done by a spiking network, however, r ...

Biorobotics: Using robots to emulate and investigate agile animal locomotion

Auke Ijspeert

The graceful and agile movements of animals are difficult to analyze and emulate because locomotion is the result of a complex interplay of many components: the central and peripheral nervous systems, the musculoskeletal system, and the environment. The go ...

Intracerebroventricular Injection of Adeno-Associated Virus 6 and 9 Vectors for Cell Type-Specific Transgene Expression in the Spinal Cord

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne, Elisabeth Anne Dirren, Veronica Setola

In the context of motoneuron diseases, gene delivery as an experimental or therapeutic approach is hindered by the challenge to specifically target cell populations that are widely distributed along the spinal cord. Further complicating the task, transgene ...

X-ray structure of the mouse serotonin 5-HT3 receptor

Horst Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Rudolf Hovius, Cédric Deluz, Luigino Grasso, Romain Wyss, Ghérici Hassaïne, Menno Berend Tol

Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels of the Cys-loop receptor family mediate fast neurotransmission throughout the nervous system. The molecular processes of neurotransmitter binding, subsequent opening of the ion channel and ion permeation remain poorly un ...
