A deep learning pipeline for three-dimensional brain-wide mapping of local neuronal ensembles in teravoxel light-sheet microscopy

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Newton Cho

Teravoxel-scale, cellular-resolution images of cleared rodent brains acquired with light-sheet fluorescence microscopy have transformed the way we study the brain. Realizing the potential of this technology requires computational pipelines that generalize ...

Hypothalamic deep brain stimulation augments walking after spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Léonie Asboth, Mark Andrew Anderson, Katia Galan, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nicholas David James, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Nicolas Hankov

A spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the neuronal projections from the brain to the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to various degrees of paralysis. Here, we aimed to identify brain regions that steer the recovery of walking after i ...

Recovery of walking after paralysis by regenerating characterized neurons to their natural target region

Grégoire Courtine, Bernard Schneider, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Katia Galan, Nicholas David James, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Laetitia Danielle Philippine Baud

Axon regeneration can be induced across anatomically complete spinal cord injury (SCI), but robust functional restoration has been elusive. Whether restoring neurological functions requires directed regeneration of axons from specific neuronal subpopulatio ...

Neuromodulation/neurostimulation system for mitigating locomotor deficits of parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury (sci), stroke and/or other neurological disorders

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Jordan Squair, Léonie Asboth, Tomislav Milekovic, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Newton Cho

The present invention relates to a combined neuromodulation and/or neurostimulation system (10) for mitigating locomotor deficits of/or neuronal disorders, especially Parkinson's disease, said system (10) comprising: - at least one Deep Brain Stimulation ( ...

The neurons that restore walking after paralysis

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Léonie Asboth, Katia Galan, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nicholas David James, Matthieu Pierre Gautier

A spinal cord injury interrupts pathways from the brain and brainstem that project to the lumbar spinal cord, leading to paralysis. Here we show that spatiotemporal epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord(1-3) applied during neurore ...

Preclinical upper limb neurorobotic platform to assess, rehabilitate, and develop therapies

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Nicholas David James, Florent-Valéry Coen, Selin Anil, Newton Cho

Numerous neurorehabilitative, neuroprosthetic, and repair interventions aim to address the consequences of upper limb impairments after neurological disorders. Although these therapies target widely different mechanisms, they share the common need for a pr ...

Unbiased interrogation of whole brain circuits in spinal cord injury leading to the design of a clinically relevant therapy to improve locomotion

Newton Cho

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a global problem, and despite decades of research there currently is no cure for this disease. Recently, significant advances in the use of neuroprosthetic rehabilitation to improve locomotor outcomes after SCI have been ma ...

Neuroprosthetic baroreflex controls haemodynamics after spinal cord injury

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Giuseppe Schiavone, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Mark Andrew Anderson, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces haemodynamic instability that threatens survival(1-3), impairs neurological recovery(4,5), increases the risk of cardiovascular disease(6,7), and reduces quality of life(8,9). Haemodynamic instability in this context is due ...
