Neuroscience robotics for controlled induction and real-time assessment of hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara, Eva Blondiaux, Laurent Frédéric Jenni

Although hallucinations are important and frequent symptoms in major psychiatric and neurological diseases, little is known about their brain mechanisms. Hallucinations are unpredictable and private experiences, making their investigation, quantification a ...

High pre-ablation ECG organization in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation terminated within the left atrium

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Jérôme Sébastien Van Zaen, Etienne Pruvot

The outcome of stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) for patients (pts) with long-standing atrial fibrillation (LS-pAF) is poorly predicted by classical organization indices (OI). Our study aims at developing new indices from pre-ablation ECG in order to id ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...

New Evidence of Neuroprotection by Lactate after Transient Focal Cerebral Ischaemia: Extended Benefit after Intracerebroventricular Injection and Efficacy of Intravenous Administration

Pierre Magistretti, Ximena Castillo

Background: Lactate protects mice against the ischaemic damage resulting from transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) when administered intracerebroventricularly at reperfusion, yielding smaller lesion sizes and a better neurological outcome 48 h ...

Decreased Excitability as a Protective Mechanism Against Repolarization Alternans-Induced Atrial Reentry

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Introduction: We recently observed in human left atrium periods of intermittent 2:1 and 1:1 atrial capture, preceded by atrial repolarization alternans (Re-ALT) during rapid pacing. It remains undetermined whether Re- ALT plays a role in preventing 1:1 atr ...
