Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization
Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...
EPFL2024Conformable neural interfaces : from engineering stretchability at the micro-scale to translational applications
Recently, flexible and soft bioelectronic interfaces have been proposed as a solution to improve existing neural interfaces that currently present mechanical mismatch with the soft tissue. These are devices fabricated with thin polymeric or elastomeric bac ...
EPFL2022Comparison of Responses to DCN vs. VCN Stimulation in a Mouse Model of the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)
Stéphanie Lacour, Florent-Valéry Coen, Nicolas Vachicouras
The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is an auditory neuroprosthesis that provides hearing to deaf patients by electrically stimulating the cochlear nucleus (CN) of the brainstem. Whether such stimulation activates one or the other of the CN's two major sub ...
SPRINGER2022Human Cochlear Nucleus on 7 Tesla Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Insights Into Micro-anatomy and Function for Auditory Brainstem Implant Surgery
Objective:The cochlear nucleus (CN) is the target of the auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Most ABI candidates have Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and distorted brainstem anatomy from bilateral vestibular schwannomas. The CN is difficult to characterize as ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2020Auditory Brainstem Implants: Recent Progress and Future Perspectives
Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras
The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) was first developed nearly 40 years ago and provides auditory rehabilitation to patients who are deaf and ineligible for cochlear implant surgery due to abnormalities of the cochlea and cochlear nerve. The aims of the f ...
2019Role of BMP Signaling for the Formation of Auditory Brainstem Nuclei and Large Auditory Relay Synapses
Ralf Schneggenburger, Christopher Clark, Elin Kristina Kronander
Large excitatory synapses are found at specific points in the neuronal circuits of the auditory brainstem, to enable fast information transfer and the preservation of acoustic timing information. The extracellular cues and signaling mechanisms that lead to ...
WILEY2019Selective femtosecond laser ablation via two-photon fluorescence imaging through a multimode fiber
Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Eirini Kakkava, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Marilisa Romito
We demonstrate the ability of a multimode fiber probe to provide two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging feedback that guides the femtosecond laser ablation (FLA) in biological samples for highly selective modifications. We implement the system through the p ...
