Ethological computational psychiatry: Challenges and opportunities
Studying the intricacies of individual subjects' moods and cognitive processing over extended periods of time presents a formidable challenge in medicine. While much of systems neuroscience appropriately focuses on the link between neural circuit functions ...
Current Biology Ltd2024Membrane potential dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in mouse barrel cortex during active whisker sensing
Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Aurélie Pala, Taro Kiritani, Célia Roxane Gasselin
Neocortical neurons can increasingly be divided into well-defined classes, but their activity patterns during quantified behavior remain to be fully determined. Here, we obtained membrane potential recordings from various classes of excitatory and inhibito ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2023Microfluidic culture platforms for C. elegans bacterial interaction and digestion studies at single-organism resolution
Increasing interest in understanding fundamental biological processes, among which aging and nutrition, has led to the study of simple and powerful model organisms, as the round-worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The nematode, selected by Sydney Bre ...
EPFL2021Narrowband Optical Coupler Using Fano Interference in First Order Diffraction
Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Giorgio Quaranta, Fabian Michael Lütolf
Light coupling in waveguides has been extensively investigated in a variety of contexts, from photonic integrated circuits to biosensing and near-eye displays for augmented reality. Here, narrowband diffraction is reported using a Fano interference effect ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Multiple nest entrances alter foraging and information transfer in ants
The ecological success of ants relies on their ability to discover and collectively exploit available resources. In this process, the nest entrances are key locations at which foragers transfer food and information about the surrounding environment. We ass ...
ROYAL SOC2020Sensor and the Beast: Generalised Methods to Recognise Animal Behaviour and Quantify Energy Expenditure Using Inertial Sensors, and Applications
How an animal allocates time and energy to different activities has repercussions for its survival, fitness, and response to changing environmental conditions. Fine-scale information on animal behaviour and energy expenditure can help develop better inform ...
EPFL2020Loopy Levy flights enhance tracer diffusion in active suspensions
A theoretical framework describing the hydrodynamic interactions between a passive particle and an active medium in out-of-equilibrium systems predicts long-range Levy flights for the diffusing particle driven by the density of the active component. Browni ...
2020Nutrient limitations induced by drought affect forage N and P differently in two permanent grasslands
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Amarante Vitra, Claire Emilie Deléglise
Drought events can strongly affect ecosystem functioning by modifying relationship between plants, microbes and soil chemistry, with consequent impacts on nutrient cycling. However, the potential impacts of a soil moisture reduction on the nitrogen (N) and ...
ELSEVIER2019Latency to Reward Predicts Social Dominance in Rats: A Causal Role for the Dopaminergic Mesolimbic System
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laura Lozano Montes, Sonia Abad Florensa
Reward signals encoded in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system guide approach/seeking behaviors to all varieties of life-supporting stimuli (rewards). Differences in dopamine (DA) levels have been found between dominant and submissive animals. However, it is ...
2019Establishing links for the planning of sustainable districts
François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Nils Christian Schüler, Sébastien Cajot
Cities can play a key role in mitigating climate change impacts, as they represent two thirds of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a model-based approach to support cities in the challenge of including energy ...
