Optical cuff for optogenetic control of the peripheral nervous system

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Léonie Asboth, Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud

Objective. Nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) contain axons with specific motor, somatosensory and autonomic functions. Optogenetics offers an efficient approach to selectively activate axons within the nerve. However, the heterogeneous nature o ...

Framework for the Development of Neuroprostheses: From Basic Understanding by Sciatic and Median Nerves Models to Bionic Legs and Hands

Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini

Neuroprostheses based on electrical stimulation are becoming a therapeutic reality, dramatically improving the life of disabled people. They are based on neural interfaces that are designed to create an intimate contact with neural cells. These devices spe ...

Long-term usability and bio-integration of polyimide-based intraneural stimulating electrodes

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Alessandra Piersigilli, Quentin Barraud, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Jacopo Rigosa, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Jérôme Gandar, Natalia Pavlova

Stimulation of peripheral nerves has transiently restored lost sensation and has the potential to alleviate motor deficits. However, incomplete characterization of the long-term usability and bio-integration of intra-neural implants has restricted their us ...

The Quest for a Bionic Hand

Silvestro Micera

Replacing a missing upper limb with a functional one is an ancient need and desire. The need for a versatile prosthetic limb with intuitive motor control and realistic sensory feedback is huge and its development is absolutely necessary for the near future ...

Lactate and Glutamate dynamics during prolonged stimulation of the rat barrel cortex suggest adaptation of cerebral glucose and oxygen metabolism

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

A better understanding of BOLD responses stems from a better characterization of the brain’s ability to metabolize glucose and oxygen. Non-invasive techniques such as functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) have thus been developed allowing for t ...

Intraneural stimulation elicits discrimination of textural features by artificial fingertip in intact and amputee humans

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Fabrizio Vecchio

Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature of ideal prostheses. Here, we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in human subjects by implementing a neuromorphic real-time mechano-neuro-transduction (MNT), which ...

Chronic multichannel neural recordings from soft regenerative microchannel electrodes during gait

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Marco Capogrosso, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Katherine Marie Musick, Jacopo Rigosa

Reliably interfacing a nerve with an electrode array is one of the approaches to restore motor and sensory functions after an injury to the peripheral nerve. Accomplishing this with current technologies is challenging as the electrode-neuron interface ofte ...

Accelerated Microstructure Imaging via Convex Optimization (AMICO) in crossing fibers

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Yves Wiaux, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Anna Auria Rasclosa

Mapping the local microstructure properties of the tissue in the brain is crucial to understand any pathological condition from a biological perspective. In recent years, microstructure-imaging techniques aimed at extracting such precious information by us ...
