Axonal projections from mouse whisker-related sensory cortex

Neurons primarily communicate through release of neurotransmitter from presynaptic specialisations along their axonal arborisations. In order to understand the functional role of a specific neuron, it is therefore of great interest to know the structure of ...

Soft bioelectronic technologies for selective and multimodal peripheral nerve interfaces

Valentina Marie Paggi

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) regulates the exchange of sensory information andmotor commands between the body and the central nervous system. Further, through theautonomic nervous system, the PNS plays a pivotal role in controlling vital physiologic ...

Axial and radial axonal diffusivities and radii from single encoding strongly diffusion-weighted MRI

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

We enable the estimation of the per-axon axial diffusivity from single encoding, strongly diffusion-weighted, pulsed gradient spin echo data. Additionally, we improve the estimation of the per-axon radial diffusivity compared to estimates based on spherica ...

Intrinsically High Capacity of Animal Cells From a Symbiotic Cnidarian to Deal With Pro-Oxidative Conditions

Gaëlle Delphine Toullec

The cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis is a mutualistic intracellular association based on the photosynthetic activity of the endosymbiont. This relationship involves significant constraints and requires co-evolution processes, such as an extensive capacit ...

Microchannel-based technologies for nerve interfacing

Sandra Gribi

Biomedical technologies in neuroprosthetics are made to restore or replace functions from the nervous system, as well as alleviate pathological conditions. Peripheral nerve interfaces use neuromodulatory techniques to inhibit pain or depression, prevent ep ...

Stress Impacts the Regulation Neuropeptides in the Rat Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex

Gregor Rainer, Laura Lozano Montes, Nan Zhao

Adverse life experience increases the lifetime risk to several stress-related psychopathologies, such as anxiety or depressive–like symptom following stress in adulthood. However, the neurochemical modulations triggered by stress have not been fully charac ...

A Nerve-on-a-Chip Platform to Facilitate the Design of Peripheral Nerve Interfaces

Stéphanie Lacour, Diego Ghezzi, Sandra Gribi

Peripheral nerves are often interfaced with cuff-based and microchannel-based nerve implants so that neural activity may be stimulated, inhibited and/or recorded. In vivo evaluation of these interfaces is mandatory but often time-consuming, and focused on ...

MALDI-MS and NanoSIMS imaging techniques to study cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbioses

Anders Meibom, Christophe Kopp

Cnidarian-dinoflagellate photosynthetic symbioses are fundamental to biologically diverse and productive coral reef ecosystems. The hallmark of this symbiotic relationship is the ability of dinoflagellate symbionts to supply their cnidarian host with a wid ...

Extracellular matrix components in peripheral nerve repair: how to affect neural cellular response and nerve regeneration?

Stéphanie Lacour, Alba Carla De Luca

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious problem affecting significantly patients' life. Autografts are the "gold standard" used to repair the injury gap, however, only 50% of patients fully recover from the trauma. Artificial conduits are a valid alternative ...

Preserving axosomatic spiking features despite diverse dendritic morphology

Henry Markram, Idan Segev

Throughout the nervous system, cells belonging to a certain electrical class (e-class)-sharing high similarity in firing response properties-may nevertheless have widely variable dendritic morphologies. To quantify the effect of this morphological variabil ...
