Direct in vivo measurement of glycine and the neurochemical profile in the rat medulla oblongata

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Giulio Gambarota

The medulla oblongata (MO) contains a high density of glycinergic synapses and a particularly high concentration of glycine The aims of this study were to measure directly in vivo the neurochemical profile, including glycine, in MO using a spin-echo-based ...

Glut2-dependent glucose-sensing controls thermoregulation by enhancing the leptin sensitivity of NPY and POMC neurons

David Genoux

The physiological contribution of glucose in thermoregulation is not completely established nor whether this control may involve a regulation of the melanocortin pathway. Here, we assessed thermoregulation and leptin sensitivity of hypothalamic arcuate neu ...

Recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 6 (rAAV2/6)-mediated gene transfer to nociceptive neurons through different routes of delivery

Patrick Aebischer, Christopher Towne

BACKGROUND: Gene transfer to nociceptive neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) is a promising approach to dissect mechanisms of pain in rodents and is a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of persistent pain disorders such as neuropathic pa ...

Training locomotor networks

Grégoire Courtine

For a complete adult spinal rat to regain some weight-bearing stepping capability, it appears that a sequence of specific proprioceptive inputs that are similar, but not identical, from step to step must be generated over repetitive step cycles. Furthermor ...

Role and mechanism of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in gustatory and chemesthetic sensations associated with dietary molecules

Céline Riera

"Chemosensory perception", the perception of food chemicals, relies on the complex cooperation of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory detection systems. In the oral cavity, the taste buds and the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve are the organs tha ...

A Neurocomputational Model of Impaired Imitation

Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

This abstract addresses the question of human imitation through convergent evidence from neuroscience, using tools from machine learning. In particular, we consider a deficit in imitation of meaningless gestures (i.e., hand postures relative to the head) f ...

Diffusion Spectrum Imaging Tractography in Complex Cerebral White Matter: An Investigation of the Centrum Semiovale

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Van Jay Wedeen

DSI is a novel high angular resolution diffusion MR imaging technique with high b-values that is able to map complex white matter architecture in the brain. We evaluate the capacity of a simple tractography method to define the essential fiber crossing ana ...

GDNF and NGF released by synthetic guidance channels support sciatic nerve regeneration across a long gap

Patrick Aebischer, Eric Garrison Fine

The present work was performed to determine the ability of neurotrophic factors to allow axonal regeneration across a 15-mm-long gap in the rat sciatic nerve. Synthetic nerve guidance channels slowly releasing NGF and GDNF were fabricated and sutured to th ...

Accurate physical mobility analysis of patients treated by neuromodulation

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Robert, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi

Spinal cord stimulation (i.e. the electrical stimulation of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord) isincreasingly used for the treatment of intractable pain syndromes due to vascular or neurogenicdisorders. Despite well-established safety and efficacy in p ...

Multiple roles of mouse Numb in tuning developmental cell fates

Michel Aguet, Lukas Sommer

BACKGROUND: Notch signaling regulates multiple differentiation processes and cell fate decisions during both invertebrate and vertebrate development. Numb encodes an intracellular protein that was shown in Drosophila to antagonize Notch signaling at binary ...
