Interaction of inflammation and hyperoxia in a rat model of neonatal white matter damage

Intrauterine infection and inflammation are major reasons for preterm birth. The switch from placenta-mediated to lung-mediated oxygen supply during birth is associated with a sudden rise of tissue oxygen tension that amounts to relative hyperoxia in prete ...

Spatial neglect and perseveration in visuomotor exploration

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

OBJECTIVE: Right-brain-damaged patients with left spatial neglect make perseveration errors in target cancellation tasks. A recent study (Ronchi, Posteraro, Fortis, Bricolo, & Vallar, 2009) showed that perseveration occurred more frequently in star than in ...

High-field diffusion tensor imaging characterization of cerebral white matter injury in lipopolysaccharide-exposed fetal sheep

Yohan Van de Looij, François Lazeyras

BACKGROUND: In gyrencephalic species such as sheep, precise anatomical and microstructural characterization of the consequences of fetal inflammation remains scarce. The goal of this study was to characterize changes in white matter (WM) structure using ad ...

Visual and spatial modulation of tactile extinction: behavioural and electrophysiological evidence

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

Crossing the hands over the midline reduces left tactile extinction to double simultaneous stimulation in right-brain-damaged patients, suggesting that spatial attentional biases toward the ipsilesional (right) side of space contribute to the patients' con ...

Classification of stance and swing gait states during treadmill walking from non-invasive scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) signals

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti, Fernando San Martin Jorquera

In Contreras-Vidal and colleagues have shown the feasibility of inferring the linear and angular kinematics of treadmill walking from scalp EEG. Here, we apply a discrete approach to the same problem of decoding the human gait. By reducing the gait process ...

Compositions and use of sulfasalazine

Kai Johnsson, Christopher Chidley

The invention relates to compositions comprising sulfasalazine or sulfapyridine and products of a biosynthetic pathway that requires tetrahydrobiopterin. Such compositions are useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases or rheumatoid arthritis, ...

Toward a whole-body neuroprosthetic

Miguel Nicolelis

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold promise for the restoration of body mobility in patients suffering from devastating motor deficits caused by brain injury, neurological diseases, and limb loss. Considerable progress has been achieved in BMIs that enact ...

Extensive spontaneous plasticity of corticospinal projections after primate spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Michael Aaron Miller

Although axonal regeneration after CNS injury is limited, partial injury is frequently accompanied by extensive functional recovery. To investigate mechanisms underlying spontaneous recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury, we administered C7 spinal co ...

Congenital heart disease affects local gyrification in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a common genetic condition associated with cognitive and learning impairments. In this study, we applied a threedimensional method for quantifying gyrification at thousands of points over the cortical surface to ima ...

Somatoparaphrenia: a body delusion. A review of the neuropsychological literature

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

A review of published brain-damaged patients showing delusional beliefs concerning the contralesional side of the body (somatoparaphrenia) is presented. Somatoparaphrenia has been reported, with a few exceptions, in right-brain-damaged patients, with motor ...
