The Target of Exuberant Projections in Development

Giorgio Innocenti

In addition to neuronal death and elimination of synapses, the production of transient, exuberant axons, and axonal branches is a general phenomenon in development across species and systems. To understand what drives the decision of which axons are mainta ...

Modeling time-varying brain networks with a self-tuning optimized Kalman filter

Gijs Plomp, David Pascucci

Brain networks are complex dynamical systems in which directed interactions between different areas evolve at the sub-second scale of sensory, cognitive and motor processes. Due to the highly non-stationary nature of neural signals and their unknown noise ...

Microstructured thin-film electrode technology enables proof of concept of scalable, soft auditory brainstem implants

Stéphanie Lacour, Florian Dylan Fallegger, Nicolas Vachicouras, Valentina Marie Paggi, Christina Myra Tringides, Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron

Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) provide sound awareness to deaf individuals who are not candidates for the cochlear implant. The ABI electrode array rests on the surface of the cochlear nucleus (CN) in the brainstem and delivers multichannel electrical ...

Role of BMP Signaling for the Formation of Auditory Brainstem Nuclei and Large Auditory Relay Synapses

Ralf Schneggenburger, Christopher Clark, Elin Kristina Kronander

Large excitatory synapses are found at specific points in the neuronal circuits of the auditory brainstem, to enable fast information transfer and the preservation of acoustic timing information. The extracellular cues and signaling mechanisms that lead to ...

Soft microfabricated neural implants: a path towards translational implementation

Nicolas Vachicouras

Neuroprosthetics are a class of medical devices that aim to restore lost or impaired functions of the nervous system by electrical stimulation or recording of neural tissue. State of the art neural implants suffer today from a mechanical mismatch compared ...

Axon regeneration and circuit reorganization after complete spinal cord injury

Sabry Leonardo Barlatey

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 ...

Diversity of Cortico-descending Projections: Histological and Diffusion MRI Characterization in the Monkey

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Graham Knott, Maxime Descoteaux, Giorgio Innocenti

The axonal composition of cortical projections originating in premotor, supplementary motor (SMA), primary motor (a4), somatosensory and parietal areas and descending towards the brain stem and spinal cord was characterized in the monkey with histological ...

Pathway-, layer- and cell-type-specific thalamic input to mouse barrel cortex

Carl Petersen, Berat Semihcan Sermet, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer

Mouse primary somatosensory barrel cortex (wS1) processes whisker sensory information, receiving input from two distinct thalamic nuclei. The first-order ventral posterior medial (VPM) somatosensory thalamic nucleus most densely innervates layer 4 (L4) bar ...

Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 using AAV-PHP.B in the inner ear leads to allele-specific inactivation of the mutated Tmc1 allele and protects auditory function in Beethoven mice

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro

Hearing Loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensorineural disorder, affecting 360 million people worldwide. As genetic causes lead to 50% of pre-lingual deafness, gene therapy is considered as a potential therapeutic strategy. Mutations in the TMC1 gene are li ...
