Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke

Hua Zhang, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis, Andrea Biasiucci, Tiffany Corbet, Thomas Schmidlin, Dragana Viceic

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear. Here we show that BCI coupled to functio ...

A microfabricated nerve-on-a-chip platform for rapid assessment of neural conduction in explanted peripheral nerve fibers

Stéphanie Lacour, Diego Ghezzi, Sandra Gribi

Peripheral nerves are anisotropic and heterogeneous neural tissues. Their complex physiology restricts realistic in vitro models, and high resolution and selective probing of axonal activity. Here, we present a nerve-on-a-chip platform that enables rapid e ...

Two-photon calcium imaging of neocortical projection neurons in whisker somatosensory cortex during goal-directed sensorimotor learning

Dimitra Angeliki Vavladeli

Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex are thought to play important roles in perceptual and cognitive functions of the brain by directly connecting diverse cortical and subcortical areas. However, many aspects of the anatomical and functional orga ...

Hybrid peripheral-spinal neuroprosthesis for refined motor execution after paralysis

Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits responsible for movement, thereby causing severe motor deficits. Current strategies to restore function to paralyzed limbs have separately investigated electrical ...

Orientation-Dispersed Apparent Axon Diameter via Multi-Stage Spherical Mean Optimization

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato

The estimation of the apparent axon diameter (AAD) via diffusion MRI is affected by the incoherent alignment of single axons around its axon bundle direction, also known as orientational dispersion. The simultaneous estimation of AAD and dispersion is chal ...

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 ...

Influencing axon regeneration after spinal cord injury

Mark Andrew Anderson

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a severing of axonal connections that leads to permanent sensorimotor deficits. In cases of incomplete injury, rehabilitation paradigms have been reported to be successful in improving behavioral outcome in humans with S ...

Selective electrical and optical neuromodulation of the central nervous system with conformable microfabricated implants

Amélie Anne Guex

Neuroprosthetic systems are designed to interface with the nervous system, for the replacement or restoration of damaged functions in the motor and/or sensory systems. In order to have an efficient communication with the nervous tissue leading to optimized ...

Real-Time Neural Signals Decoding onto Off-the-Shelf DSP Processors for Neuroprosthetic Applications

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic

The control of upper limb neuroprostheses through the peripheral nervous system (PNS) can allow restoring motor functions in amputees. At present, the important aspect of the realtime implementation of neural decoding algorithms on embedded systems has bee ...
