Temporal Dynamics of Intranasal Oxytocin in Human Brain Electrophysiology

Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Oxytocin (OT) is a key modulator of human social cognition, popular in behavioral neuroscience. To adequately design and interpret intranasal OT (IN-OT) research, it is crucial to know for how long it affects human brain function once administered. However ...

Gene replacement therapy provides benefit in an adult mouse model of Leigh syndrome

Johan Auwerx

Mutations in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are responsible for a broad spectrum of disorders among which Leigh syndrome is the most common in infancy. No effective therapies are available for this severe disease mainly because of the limited capabili ...

TMS-induced control of bodily self-consciousness by combining non-invasive brain stimulation and immersive virtual reality

Matteo Franza

Our brain constantly receives and integrates a flow of sensory and motor information that shapes the way our body is represented. Several experimental approaches have been proposed to alter the body representation, by manipulating exteroceptive or interoce ...

Repetitive Erythropoietin Treatment Improves Long-Term Neurocognitive Outcome by Attenuating Hyperoxia-Induced Hypomyelination in the Developing Brain

Yohan Van de Looij

Introduction:Preterm infants born before 28 weeks of gestation are at high risk of neurodevelopmental impairment in later life. Cerebral white and gray matter injury is associated with adverse outcomes. High oxygen levels, often unavoidable in neonatal int ...

Nutritional Ketosis Increases NAD+/NADH Ratio in Healthy Human Brain: An in Vivo Study by 31P-MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Mojgan Masoodi, Nicolas Christinat, Maya Shevlyakova

Ketones represent an important alternative fuel for the brain under glucose hypo-metabolic conditions induced by neurological diseases or aging, however their metabolic consequences in healthy brains remain unclear. Here we report that ketones can increase ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation of motor cortex induces embodiment when integrated with virtual reality feedback

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Marco Solcà, Javier Bello Ruiz, Matteo Franza, Thomas Schmidlin, Mattia Pinardi, Marianne Anke Stephan

Previous evidence highlighted the multisensory-motor origin of embodiment - that is, the experience of having a body and of being in control of it - and the possibility of experimentally manipulating it. For instance, an illusory feeling of embodiment towa ...

Large eddy simulations for blood dynamics in realistic stenotic carotids

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

In this paper, we consider large eddy simulations (LES) for human stenotic carotids in presence of atheromasic plaque, a pathological condition where transitional effects to turbulence may occur, with relevant clinical implications such as plaque rupture. ...

Glycogen Supercompensation in the Rat Brain After Acute Hypoglycemia is Independent of Glucose Levels During Recovery

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Patients with diabetes display a progressive decay in the physiological counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia, resulting in hypoglycemia unawareness. The mechanism through which the brain adapts to hypoglycemia may involve brain glycogen. We tested t ...

Using Cardio-Respiratory Signals to Recognize Emotions Elicited by Watching Music Video Clips

Jean-Marc Vesin, Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Ashkan Yazdani

The automatic recognition of human emotions from physiological signals is of increasing interest in many applications. Images with high emotional content have been shown to alter signals such as the electrocardiogram~(ECG) and the respiration among many ot ...

Visuo-vestibular mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness

Joachim Jean-Marie Forget

Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...
