Single-cell and spatial atlases of spinal cord injury in the Tabulae Paralytica

Grégoire Courtine, Bernard Schneider, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Nicholas David James, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Claudia Kathe, Thomas Haynes Hutson, Michael Alexander Skinnider, Michael V. Sofroniew

Here, we introduce the Tabulae Paralytica—a compilation of four atlases of spinal cord injury (SCI) comprising a single-nucleus transcriptome atlas of half a million cells, a multiome atlas pairing transcriptomic and epigenomic measurements within the same ...

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 ...

The circadian clock time tunes axonal regeneration

Thomas Haynes Hutson

Nerve injuries cause permanent neurological disability due to limited axonal regeneration. Injury-dependent and-independent mechanisms have provided important insight into neuronal regeneration, however, common denominators underpinning regeneration remain ...

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 ...

Natural and targeted circuit reorganization after spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jocelyne Bloch, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Claudia Kathe, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Thomas Haynes Hutson

The authors summarize changes in circuits after spinal cord injury and current strategies to target these circuits in order to improve recovery, but also advocate for new concepts of reorganizing circuits informed by multi-omic single-cell atlases. ...

Wireless closed-loop optogenetics across the entire dorsoventral spinal cord in mice

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Léonie Asboth, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Ivan Furfaro, Kyungjin Kim, Jérôme Gandar, Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud, Claudia Kathe

Optoelectronic systems can exert precise control over targeted neurons and pathways throughout the brain in untethered animals, but similar technologies for the spinal cord are not well established. In the present study, we describe a system for ultrafast, ...

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 ...

Cell type prioritization in single-cell data

Grégoire Courtine, Gioele La Manno, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Claudia Kathe, Thomas Haynes Hutson, Marco Milano, Michael Alexander Skinnider

The cell types affected by biological perturbations in complex tissues are uncovered by single-cell analysis. ...

Confronting false discoveries in single-cell differential expression

Grégoire Courtine, Gioele La Manno, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Nicholas David James, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Thomas Haynes Hutson, Rémi Bernard René Hudelle, Claudia Kathe

Differential expression analysis of single-cell transcriptomics allows scientists to dissect cell-type-specific responses to biological perturbations. Here, the authors show that many commonly used methods are biased and can produce false discoveries. ...
