Habitat type as strongest predictor of the body size distribution of Chydorus sphaericus (O. F. Muller) in small water bodies

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Chydorus sphaericus, a cladoceran characterized by a wide range of distribution, is often numerous in various water habitats. Its body size is a consequence of environmental characteristics and physiology. The aim of the study focused on the distribution o ...

Decoding the mechanisms of gait generation in salamanders by combining neurobiology, modeling and robotics

Auke Ijspeert, Andrej Bicanski, Jérémie Knüsel

Vertebrate animals exhibit impressive locomotor skills. These locomotor skills are due to the complex interactions between the environment, the musculo-skeletal system and the central nervous system, in particular the spinal locomotor circuits. We are inte ...

Diffusion Tensor Echo Planar Imaging Using Surface Coil Transceiver with a Semiadiabatic RF Pulse Sequence at 14.1T

Rolf Gruetter, Yohan Van de Looij, Nicolas Kunz

Diffusion magnetic resonance studies of the brain are typically performed using volume coils. Although in human brain this leads to a near optimal filling factor, studies of rodent brain must contend with the fact that only a fraction of the head volume ca ...

Markowitz in the brain?

Kerstin Preuschoff

We review recent rain-scanning (fMRI) evidence that activity in certain sub-cortical structures of the human brain correlate with changes in expected reward, as well as with risk. Risk is measured by variance of payoff, as in Markowitz' theory. The brain s ...

Mapping Human Whole-Brain Structural Networks with Diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Patrick Thiran, Patric Hagmann, Reto Meuli, Xavier Gigandet, Maciej Kurant

Understanding the large-scale structural network formed by neurons is a major challenge in system neuroscience. A detailed connectivity map covering the entire brain would therefore be of great value. Based on diffusion MRI, we propose an efficient methodo ...

Human neural progenitors deliver glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor to parkinsonian rodents and aged primates

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to increase the survival and functioning of dopamine neurons in a variety of animal models and some recent human trials. However, delivery of any protein to the brain remains a challenge due ...
