Neuronal correlates of goal-directed sensorimotor transformation in sensory, motor and higher-order cortical areas
An important function of the brain is to interpret incoming sensory information from the outside world to guide adaptive behavior. Understanding how and where sensory information is transformed into motor commands in a context- and learning-dependent manne ...
EPFL2023QuNex-An integrative platform for reproducible neuroimaging analytics
IntroductionNeuroimaging technology has experienced explosive growth and transformed the study of neural mechanisms across health and disease. However, given the diversity of sophisticated tools for handling neuroimaging data, the field faces challenges in ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2023Improved antibody pharmacokinetics by disruption of contiguous positive surface potential and charge reduction using alternate human framework
Andrea Pfeifer, Florence Gauye, Tariq Afroz, Monisha Ratnam
Optimal pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential to achieve the desired pharmacological benefits in patients. To accomplish this, we followed an approach comprising structure-based mAb charge engineering in ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC2023First-person body view modulates the neural substrates of episodic memory and autonoetic consciousness: A functional connectivity study
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Florian Lance, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Robin Mange, Baptiste Gauthier, Lucie Bréchet
Episodic memory (EM) is classically conceived as a memory for events, localized in space and time, and characterized by autonoetic consciousness (ANC) allowing to mentally travel back in time and subjectively relive an event. Building on recent evidence th ...
2020Creating a neuroprosthesis for active tactile exploration of textures
Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can produce percepts that mimic somatic sensation and, thus, has potential as an approach to sensorize prosthetic limbs. However, it is not known whether ICMS could recreate act ...
2019Axon regeneration and circuit reorganization after complete spinal cord injury
First human trials involving neuroprosthetic rehabilitation demonstrated recently that significant
functional benefits can be achieved with lumbosacral neuromodulation and reorganized
spared projections. However, complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) wholly ...
EPFL2019Layer, cell-type and pathway-specific thalamocortical input to mouse somatosensory cortex
In the mouse whisker system, sensory information is relayed to the whisker somatosensory cortex by two major thalamic nuclei, the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM) and the posterior medial nucleus (POM). While the cortical axonal innervation pattern o ...
EPFL2018Two-photon calcium imaging of neocortical projection neurons in whisker somatosensory cortex during goal-directed sensorimotor learning
Abstract
Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in per-ceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas. However, many aspects of the anatomical and func ...
EPFL2018Anatomical and functional properties of the foot and leg representation in areas 3b, 1 and 2 of primary somatosensory cortex in humans: A 7T fMRI study
Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michel Akselrod, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Roger Gassert, Roberto Martuzzi
Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) processes somatosensory information and is composed of multiple subregions. In particular, tactile information from the skin is encoded in three subregions, namely Brodmann areas (BAs) 3b, 1 and 2, with each area represent ...
