Reaching an understanding of cortico-medullary control of forelimb behaviors
Mackenzie Mathis, Thomas Trevelyan James Sainsbury
How the neocortex modulates hindbrain and spinal circuits is of fundamental interest for understanding mo-tor control and adaptive behaviors. New work from Yang, Kanodia, and Arber demonstrates that there is an exquisite anatomical organization and functio ...
CELL PRESS2023Longitudinal interrogation of sympathetic neural circuits and hemodynamics in preclinical models
Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Rémi Bernard René Hudelle, Suje Amir, Victor Perez Puchalt, Loïs Thomas Romain Mahe, Jan Elaine Cuevas Soriano
Neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, result in hemodynamic instability due to the disruption of supraspinal projections to the sympathetic circuits located in the spinal cord. We recently developed a preclinical model that allows the ident ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...
EPFL2022Bidirectional bionic limbs: a perspective bridging technology and physiology
Precise control of bionic limbs relies on robust decoding of motor commands from nerves or muscles signals and sensory feedback from artificial limbs to the nervous system by interfacing the afferent nerve pathways. Implantable devices for bidirectional co ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2022Central and peripheral delivered AAV9-SMN are both efficient but target different pathomechanisms in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by loss of the SMN1 gene and low SMN protein levels. Although lower motor neurons are a primary target, there is evidence that peripheral organ defects contribute to SMA. Current SMA gene ther ...
2022Targeted dorsal root entry zone stimulation alleviates pain due to meralgia paresthetica
Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nicolas Hankov, Jimmy James Ravier, Viviana Aureli, Molywan Vat
Objective. Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a mononeuropathy of the exclusively sensory lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) that is difficult to treat with conservative treatments. Afferents from the LFCN enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root entry ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2022Natural and targeted circuit reorganization after spinal cord injury
Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Mark Andrew Anderson, Claudia Kathe, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Thomas Haynes Hutson
The authors summarize changes in circuits after spinal cord injury and current strategies to target these circuits in order to improve recovery, but also advocate for new concepts of reorganizing circuits informed by multi-omic single-cell atlases. A spina ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors
Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...
