Evaluation of the NAD(+) biosynthetic pathway in ALS patients and effect of modulating NAD(+) levels in hSOD1-linked ALS mouse models

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Astrocytes from diverse ALS models induce motor neuron death in co-culture. Enhancing NAD(+) availability, or increasing the expression of the NAD(+)-depende ...

Normalization of aberrant pretherapeutic dynamic functional connectivity of extrastriate visual system in patients who underwent thalamotomy with stereotactic radiosurgery for essential tremor: a resting-state functional MRI study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Constantin Tuleasca, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Elena Najdenovska

OBJECTIVE The tremor circuitry has commonly been hypothesized to be driven by one or multiple pacemakers within the cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway, including the cerebellum, contralateral motor thalamus, and primary motor cortex. However, previous stud ...

Cortical circuits for transforming whisker sensation into goal-directed licking

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Vahid Esmaeili, Georgios Foustoukos, Keita Tamura, Anastasiia Oryshchuk

Animals can learn to use sensory stimuli to generate motor actions in order to obtain rewards. However, the precise neuronal circuits driving learning and execution of a specific goal-directed sensory-to-motor transformation remain to be elucidated. Here, ...

Understanding Computational Costs of Cellular-Level Brain Tissue Simulations Through Analytical Performance Models

Felix Schürmann, Francesco Cremonesi

Computational modeling and simulation have become essential tools in the quest to better understand the brain's makeup and to decipher the causal interrelations of its components. The breadth of biochemical and biophysical processes and structures in the b ...

Refinements of hybrid neurophysical volume conductor models and application to study epidural electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord

Nathan Antoine Greiner

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the communication between the brain and spinal neural circuits below the lesion is disrupted, leading to paralysis. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbosacral spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion an ...

Decoding of grasping tasks from intraneural recordings in trans-radial amputee

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Objective. A major challenge in neuroprosthetics is the restoration of sensory-motor hand functions in upper-limb amputees. Neuroprostheses based on the direct re-connection of the peripheral nerves may be an interesting approach for re-establishing the na ...

Octopamine neuron dependent aggression requires dVGLUT from dual-transmitting neurons

Brian Donal McCabe

Neuromodulators such as monoamines are often expressed in neurons that also release at least one fast-acting neurotransmitter. The release of a combination of transmitters provides both "classical" and "modulatory" signals that could produce diverse and/or ...

Walking with Salamanders: From Molecules to Biorobotics

Auke Ijspeert

How do four-legged animals adapt their locomotion to the environment? How do central and peripheral mechanisms interact within the spinal cord to produce adaptive locomotion and how is locomotion recovered when spinal circuits are perturbed? Salamanders ar ...

Automated Detection Of Highly Aggregated Neurons In Microscopic Images Of Macaque Brain

Ming Jiang, Cheng Shi

Neuron detection is a key step in individualizing and counting neurons which are important for assessing physiological and pathophysiological information. A large number of methods including deep learning networks have been proposed but mainly targeting re ...

Cbp-dependent histone acetylation mediates axon regeneration induced by environmental enrichment in rodent spinal cord injury models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Claudia Kathe, Thomas Haynes Hutson, Kay Alexander Bartholdi

After a spinal cord injury, axons fail to regenerate in the adult mammalian central nervous system, leading to permanent deficits in sensory and motor functions. Increasing neuronal activity after an injury using electrical stimulation or rehabilitation ca ...
