Dysregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels by ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2 in neuropathic pain

Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne, Isabelle Chang

Peripheral neuropathic pain is a disabling condition resulting from nerve injury. It is characterized by the dysregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(v)s) expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons. The mechanisms underlying the alte ...

Investigating Ocular Movements and Vestibular Evoked Potentials for a Vestibular Neuroprosthesis: Response to Pulse Trains and Baseline Stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen

No adequate treatment currently exists for bilateral vestibulopathy, which can result in significant decreases of social and physical functioning. To improve patients' quality of life, vestibular neuroprostheses are being developed. Efficacy of current pro ...

Motor execution detection based on autonomic nervous system responses

Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Martin Wolf, Marie-Christine Fluet, Raphaël Zimmermann

Triggered assistance has been shown to be a successful robotic strategy for provoking motor plasticity, probably because it requires neurologic patients’ active participation to initiate a movement involving their impaired limb. Triggered assistance, howev ...

City size, network structure and traffic congestion

Nikolaos Geroliminis

This paper presents an alternative approach for analyzing the relationship between land use and traffic congestion by employing the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD). The MFD is an empirically observed relationship between traffic flow and traffic dens ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of peripheral nerves: Differences in magnetization transfer

Giulio Gambarota

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent imaging modality for soft tissues. Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging is an MRI technique that is sensitive to the bound protons of macromolecules and therefore can aid in the assessment of ne ...

Combined Analysis of Cortical (EEG) and Nerve Stump Signals Improves Robotic Hand Control

Silvestro Micera, Jacopo Rigosa

Background. Interfacing an amputee's upper-extremity stump nerves to control a robotic hand requires training of the individual and algorithms to process interactions between cortical and peripheral signals. Objective. To evaluate for the first time whethe ...

Impaired Humoral Immunity and Tolerance in K14-VEGFR-3-Ig Mice That Lack Dermal Lymphatic Drainage

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Susan Thomas

Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid, soluble Ag, and immune cells from peripheral tissues to lymph nodes (LNs), yet the contribution of peripheral lymphatic drainage to adaptive immunity remains poorly understood. We examined immune responses to ...
