eNAMPT actions through nucleus accumbens NAD + /SIRT1 link increased adiposity with sociability deficits programmed by peripuberty stress
Johan Auwerx, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Ioannis Zalachoras, Wei Huang, Sriparna Ghosal, Laia Morato Fornaguera, Lei Cao
Obesity is frequently associated with impairments in the social domain, and stress at puberty can lead to long-lasting changes in visceral fat deposition and in social behaviors. However, whether stress-induced changes in adipose tissue can affect fat-to-b ...
2022Compressed sensing (CS) MP2RAGE versus standard MPRAGE: A of derived brain volume measurements
Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda
Purpose: T1 Magnetization Prepared Two Rapid Acquisition Gradient Echo (MP2RAGE) with compress sensing (CS) has been proposed as an improvement of the standard MPRAGE sequence with multiple advantages including reduced acquisition time needed to provide a ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes
Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero
Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: functional MRI and connectome correlates
decrement have been proposed, such as weakened acquisition of the motor skill. While the processes at play during the initial acquisition phase have been well-characterized in young adults, they were only scarcely investigated in older adults. The goal of ...
EPFL2022Neuroscience 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 ...
2022A multi-scale probabilistic atlas of the human connectome
Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Alessandra Griffa, Patric Hagmann, Maxime Descoteaux, Elena Najdenovska
The human brain is a complex system that can be efficiently represented as a network of structural connectivity. Many imaging studies would benefit from such network information, which is not always available. In this work, we present a whole-brain multi-s ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022A conditional GABAergic synaptic vesicle marker for Drosophila
Background: Throughout the animal kingdom, GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter of the nervous system. It is essential for maintaining the homeostatic balance between excitation and inhibition required for the brain to operate normally. Identi ...
2022Methods for acute and long-term imaging of the ventral nerve cord in behaving adult Drosophila
Understanding how neural circuits remodel and adapt to animal behavior is a central theme in the field of Neuroscience. One strategy to reach this goal is to repeatedly record the same animal's neural circuits and observe how they adapt when facing differe ...
