Social behaviors such as cooperation are crucial for mammals. A deeper knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cooperation can be beneficial for people suffering from pathologies with impaired social behavior. Our aim was to study the brain activit ...
Springer2024A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation
Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Sylvain Cardin, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier
Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...
IEEE2023Immunological lessons from genome-wide association studies of infections
Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Alessandro Borghesi
Over the past few years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been increasingly applied to identify host genetic factors influencing clinical and laboratory traits related to immunity and infection, and to understand the interplay between the host a ...
CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD2021A wearable electrochemical sensing system for non-invasive monitoring of lithium drug in bipolar disorder
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo
Lithium represents the main drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) as it acts as a mood stabilizer. However, because of its narrow therapeutic window, psychiatric patients are obliged to frequent tests in hospital to control their lithium blood co ...
2020Fast Mean Estimation with Sub-Gaussian Rates
Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion
We present an improved analysis of the Euler-Maruyama discretization of the Langevin diffusion. Our analysis does not require global contractivity, and yields polynomial dependence on the time horizon. Compared to existing approaches, we make an additional ...

IEEE2019Anxiety and Brain Mitochondria: A Bidirectional Crosstalk
Accumulating data highlight the contribution of brain mitochondria and bioenergetics to psychiatric disorders and stress-related pathologies. Although anxiety has not received much attention in this booming literature, a bidirectional interplay between anx ...
2019Novel probes for the non-invasive bioluminescence imaging of mitochondrial membrane potential and dipeptidylpeptidase-4 activity in living animals
Current thesis summarizes the work on development of novel bioluminescent probes for measurement of activity of dipeptidylpep-tidase-4 (DPP-4) and for quantification of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). DPP-4 enzyme plays critical role in develop-men ...
EPFL2018Perception of visual illusions is intact in schizophrenia
Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast
There seems to be no common factor for visual perception because performance levels in many visual tasks correlate only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. However, one may expect common visual factors for individuals ...
