Imitation Learning of Motion Coordination in Robots

The ease with which humans coordinate all their limbs is fascinating. Such a simplicity is the result of a complex process of motor coordination, i.e. the ability to resolve the biomechanical redundancy in an efficient and repeatable manner. Coordination e ...

Characterization of cerebral glucose dynamics in vivo with a four-state conformational model of transport at the blood-brain barrier

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Determination of brain glucose transport kinetics in vivo at steady-state typically does not allow distinguishing apparent maximum transport rate (Tmax) from cerebral consumption rate. Using a four-state conformational model of glucose transport, we show t ...

RAX and anophthalmia in humans: Evidence of brain anomalies

Purpose: To report the clinical and genetic study of two families of Egyptian origin with clinical anophthalmia. To further determine the role of the retina and anterior neural fold homeobox gene (RAX) in anophthalmia and associated cerebral malformations. ...

Longitudinal MR Assessment of Hypoxic Ischemic Injury in the Immature Rat Brain

Rolf Gruetter, Yohan Van de Looij

Extremely preterm infants commonly show brain injury with long-term structural and functional consequences. Three-day-old (P3) rat pups share some similarities in terms of cerebral development with the very preterm infant (born at 24-28 weeks of gestation) ...

In Vivo Evidence for Lactate as a Neuronal Energy Source

Pierre Magistretti, Renaud Jolivet

Cerebral energy metabolism is a highly compartmentalized and complex process in which transcellular trafficking of metabolites plays a pivotal role. Over the past decade, a role for lactate in fueling the energetic requirements of neurons has emerged. Furt ...

Foot worn inertial sensors for gait assessment and rehabilitation based on motorized shoes

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Benoît Mariani

Fall prevention in elderly subjects is often based on training and rehabilitation programs that include mostly traditional balance and strength exercises. By applying such conventional interventions to improve gait performance and decrease fall risk, some ...

Emergence of the cerebral self, from Theodor Meynert to Antonio Damasio

Pierre Magistretti, Mathieu Arminjon

Antonio Damasio's works have brought emotions into line with current trends in neuroscience. They are conceived as the addition, to a perception, of the somatic effects it has induced. Nevertheless, this continuous and relatively steady process of body per ...

Delayed cortical impairment following lipopolysaccharide exposure in preterm fetal sheep

Yohan Van de Looij, François Lazeyras

Preterm infants exhibit chronic deficits in white matter (WM) and cortical maturation. Although fetal infection/inflammation may contribute to WM pathology, the factors contributing to cortical changes are largely unknown. We examined the effect of fetal l ...

On The Road To A Neuroprosthetic Hand: A Novel Hand Grasp Orthosis Based on Functional Electrical Stimulation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Michele Tavella, Miguel Joaquin Gubler

To patients who have lost the functionality of their hands as a result of a severe spinal cord injury or brain stroke, the development of new techniques for grasping is indispensable for reintegration and independency in daily life. Functional Electrical S ...
