Lentiviral vectors express chondroitinase ABC in cortical projections and promote sprouting of injured corticospinal axons

Bernard Schneider, Jean-Charles Bensadoun

Several diseases and injuries of the central nervous system could potentially be treated by delivery of an enzyme, which might most effectively be achieved by gene therapy. In particular, the bacterial enzyme chondroitinase ABC is beneficial in animal mode ...

Identification of Signaling Mechanisms Determining the Development of Large Excitatory Synapses in the Lower Auditory System

Le Xiao

In the brainstem auditory circuit of mammals and birds, excitatory synapses with extraordinarily large size have evolved, which ensure fast membrane potential signaling mediated by large, multiquantal excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs). The so-called ...

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 ...

Long-range connectivity of mouse primary somatosensory barrel cortex

Carl Petersen, Bernard Schneider, Céline Matéo

The primary somatosensory barrel cortex processes tactile vibrissae information, allowing rodents to actively perceive spatial and textural features of their immediate surroundings. Each whisker on the snout is individually represented in the neocortex by ...

Developmental expression of Synaptotagmin isoforms in single calyx of Held-generating neurons

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Yunyun Han, Le Xiao, Heather Mary Elizabeth Murray

The large glutamatergic calyx of Held synapse in the auditory brainstem has become a powerful model for studying transmitter release mechanisms, but the molecular bases of presynaptic function at this synapse are not well known. Here, we have used single-c ...

Diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging (DSI) tractography of crossing fibers

Patric Hagmann, Pascal Hagmann

MRI tractography is the mapping of neural fiber pathways based on diffusion MRI of tissue diffusion anisotropy. Tractography based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) cannot directly image multiple fiber orientations within a single voxel. To address this li ...
