Impact of Mitofusin 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens on motivated behavior and underlying neurobiological mechanisms
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is part of the ventral striatum and plays a major role in motivation and goal-directed behaviour. Increasing evidence implicates impairments in accumbal function in anxiety and depression, two conditions that are commonly accomp ...
EPFL2024Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain-spine interface
Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Anne Marie Lucienne Watrin, Sergio Daniel Hernandez, Henri Charles Alexandre Lorach, Jimmy James Ravier, Grégory Didier Dumont, Félix Antoine Martel, Laure Coquoz, Valeria Spagnolo, Thibault Jean Etienne Collin, Icare Sakr, Lucas Struber, Salif Axel Komi, Molywan Vat, Carmina Andrea Galvez Solano, Edeny Baaklini, Cathal John Harte
A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis(1,2). Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enable ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation
Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Optogenetic Stimulation of Basal Forebrain Parvalbumin Neurons Activates the Default Mode Network and Associated Behaviors
Ralf Schneggenburger, Gregor Rainer, Michael Kintscher, Laura Lozano Montes, Jayakrishnan Harikrishnavilas Raveendran Nair
Activation of the basal forebrain (BF) has been associated with increased attention, arousal, and a heightened cortical representation of the external world. In addition, BF has been implicated in the regulation of the default mode network (DMN) and associ ...
CELL PRESS2020Glutaredoxin 1 Downregulation in the Substantia Nigra Leads to Dopaminergic Degeneration in Mice
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a severe loss of the dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Perturbation of protein thiol redox homeostasis has been shown to play a role in the dysregulation of cell ...
