Interrelation between cardiac and brain small-vessel disease: a pilot quantitative PET and MRI study

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Ricardo Alberto Corredor Jerez

Background: Small-vessel disease (SVD) plays a crucial role in cardiac and brain ischemia, but little is known about potential interrelation between both. We retrospectively evaluated 370 patients, aiming at assessing the interrelation between cardiac and ...

A cis-acting structural variation at the ZNF558 locus controls a gene regulatory network in human brain development

Didier Trono, Julien Paul André Pontis, Johan Jakobsson

The human forebrain has expanded in size and complexity compared to chimpanzees despite limited changes in protein-coding genes, suggesting that gene expression regulation is an important driver of brain evolution. Here, we identify a KRAB-ZFP transcriptio ...

Cellular, Synaptic and Network Effects of Acetylcholine in the Neocortex

Henry Markram, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Daniel Keller, Cristina Colangelo, Polina Shichkova

The neocortex is densely innervated by basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons. Long-range axons of cholinergic neurons regulate higher-order cognitive function and dysfunction in the neocortex by releasing acetylcholine (ACh). ACh release dynamically rec ...

Feasibility of neurochemically profiling mouse embryonic brain and its development in utero using 1 H MRS at 14.1 T

Hongxia Lei, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of neurochemical profiling of embryonic mouse brain developments in utero and to seek potential in vivo evidence of an energy shift in a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) deficient mouse model. C57BL/6 embryonic m ...

The Cortical States of Wakefulness

Sylvain Crochet, James Poulet

Cortical neurons process information on a background of spontaneous, ongoing activity with distinct spatiotemporal profiles defining different cortical states. During wakefulness, cortical states alter constantly in relation to behavioral context, attentio ...

Optogenetic Dissection of the Basal Forebrain Neuromodulatory Control of Cortical Activation, Plasticity, and Cognition

Carl Petersen

The basal forebrain (BF) houses major ascending projections to the entire neocortex that have long been implicated in arousal, learning, and attention. The disruption of the BF has been linked with major neurological disorders, such as coma and Alzheimer's ...

Ferritin H gene deletion in the choroid plexus and forebrain results in hydrocephalus

Patrick Fraering, Claude André Schweizer

Ferritin H, the major iron storage protein, has essential functions in early embryonic development as well as in adult liver and intestine. To address the question whether ferritin H has similarly essential functions in the brain we used the Cre/loxP syste ...

Impairment of semantic memory after basal forebrain and fornix lesion

Marco Solcà

Semantic memory impairment is classically associated with lesion of the anterior temporal lobe. We report the case of a patient with severe semantic knowledge impairment and anterograde amnesia after bilateral ischemic lesion of the fornix and of the basal ...

Increased performance in genetic manipulation by modeling the dielectric properties of the rodent brain

Diego Ghezzi

Genetic approaches to control DNA expression in different brain areas have provided an excellent system to characterize gene function in health and disease of animal models. With respect to others, in utero electroporation of exogenous DNA into progenitor ...

Continuous arterial spin labeling of mouse cerebral blood flow using an actively-detuned two-coil system at 9.4T

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Yves Pilloud

Among numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, perfusion MRI provides insight into the passage of blood through the brain's vascular network non-invasively. Studying disease models and transgenic mice would intrinsically help understanding the ...
