Combining Optogenetic Stimulation and Motor Training Improves Functional Recovery and Perilesional Cortical Activity
Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini, Francesco Saverio Pavone
Background. An ischemic stroke is followed by the remapping of motor representation and extensive changes in cortical excitability involving both hemispheres. Although stimulation of the ipsilesional motor cortex, especially when paired with motor training ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC2021Wide-field imaging of cortical neuronal activity with red-shifted functional indicators during motor task execution
Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini, Francesco Saverio Pavone
Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) can be used to monitor the intracellular concentration of free calcium in populations of neurons. GECIs with long emission wavelengths are particularly attractive for deep tissue microscopy in vivo, and have t ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Combined Rehabilitation Promotes the Recovery of Structural and Functional Features of Healthy Neuronal Networks after Stroke
Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Francesco Saverio Pavone
Rehabilitation is considered the most effective treatment for promoting the recovery of motor deficits after stroke. One of the most challenging experimental goals is to unambiguously link brain rewiring to motor improvement prompted by rehabilitative ther ...
2019A versatile clearing agent for multi-modal brain imaging
Henry Markram, Jean Pierre Ghobril, Ludovico Silvestri, Irene Costantini, Francesco Saverio Pavone
Extensive mapping of neuronal connections in the central nervous system requires high-throughput mm-scale imaging of large volumes. In recent years, different approaches have been developed to overcome the limitations due to tissue light scattering. These ...
