Taxonomic revision of genus Fornasinius Bertoloni, 1853 with description of new taxa (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Fornasinius was established in 1853 by Giuseppe BERTOLONI to receive a taxon that was sufficiently distinct from the known representatives of the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801, to merit a different placement. Here, the type species of the genus, ...

Inhaling xenon ameliorates l -dopa-induced dyskinesia in experimental parkinsonism

Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Shiqi Sun

Parkinson's disease motor symptoms are treated with levodopa, but long‐term treatment leads to disabling dyskinesia. Altered synaptic transmission and maladaptive plasticity of corticostriatal glutamatergic projections play a critical role in the pathophys ...

Selective Recruitment of Arm Motoneurons in Nonhuman Primates Using Epidural Electrical Stimulation of the Cervical Spinal Cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Jocelyne Bloch, Giuseppe Schiavone

Recovery of reaching and grasping ability is the priority for people with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promising results in improving motor control after SCI in various animal models and in humans. Nota ...

Triggering social interactions: chimpanzees respond to imitation by a humanoid robot and request responses from it

Aude Billard

Even the most rudimentary social cues may evoke affiliative responses in humans and promote socialcommunication and cohesion. The present work tested whether such cues of an agent may also promotecommunicative interactions in a nonhuman primate species, by ...

COI Barcoding of Nebelid Testate Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida): Extensive Cryptic Diversity and Redefinition of the Hyalospheniidae Schultze

Enrique Lara

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not o ...

Animal Models of Neurologic Disorders: A Nonhuman Primate Model of Spinal Cord Injury

Grégoire Courtine

Primates are an important and unique animal resource. We have developed a nonhuman primate model of spinal cord injury (SCI) to expand our knowledge of normal primate motor function, to assess the impact of disease and injury on sensory and motor function, ...

Morphology, Biometry, and Taxonomy of Freshwater and Marine Interstitial Cyphoderia (Cercozoa: Euglyphida)

Good taxonomy is essential for ecological, biogeographical, and evolutionary studies of any group of organisms. Therefore, we performed detailed light- and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations on the shell ultrastructure and biometric analyses ...

Neurodegeneration prevented by lentiviral vector delivery of GDNF in primate models of Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Didier Trono, Nicole Déglon

Lentiviral delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (lenti-GDNF) was tested for its trophic effects upon degenerating nigrostriatal neurons in nonhuman primate models of Parkinson's disease (PD). We injected lenti-GDNF into the striatum and ...
