Combining robotics with enhanced serotonin-driven cortical plasticity improves post-stroke motor recovery
Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Maria Pasquini, Sara Conti, Marco Mainardi
Despite recent progresses in robotic rehabilitation technologies, their efficacy for post-stroke motor recovery is still limited. Such limitations might stem from the insufficient enhancement of plasticity mechanisms, crucial for functional recovery. Here, ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Spatiotemporal Maps of Proprioceptive Inputs to the Cervical Spinal Cord During Three-Dimensional Reaching and Grasping
Auke Ijspeert, Shravan Tata Ramalingasetty, Marco Capogrosso, Beatrice Barra, Nathan Antoine Greiner, Pierre Charles Marie Kibleur, Sara Conti
Proprioceptive feedback is a critical component of voluntary movement planning and execution. Neuroprosthetic technologies aiming at restoring movement must interact with it to restore accurate motor control. Optimization and design of such technologies de ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020A versatile robotic platform for the design of natural, three-dimensional reaching and grasping tasks in monkeys
Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Sara Conti
Objective. Translational studies on motor control and neurological disorders require detailed monitoring of sensorimotor components of natural limb movements in relevant animal models. However, available experimental tools do not provide a sufficiently ric ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2020Automatic clustering of spinal reflexes evoked by epidural electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord in non-human primates
Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Marco Capogrosso, Giuseppe Schiavone, Beatrice Barra, Katie Zhi Zhuang, Sara Conti
Epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord elicits motor responses by recruiting large sensory afferents in the posterior roots. Divergence of excitatory inputs provided by these fibers generates a variety of shapes, latencies and amplitudes in the ...
2019A Robotic System for Adaptive Training and Function Assessment of Forelimb Retraction in Mice
Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Maria Pasquini, Sara Conti
Rodent models are decisive for translational research in healthy and pathological conditions of motor function thanks to specific similarities with humans. Here, we present an upgraded version of the M-Platform, a robotic device previously designed to trai ...
