Efficient viral transduction in mouse inner ear hair cells with utricle injection and AAV9-PHP.B

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

Viral delivery of exogenous coding sequences into the inner ear has the potential for therapeutic benefit for patients suffering genetic or acquired hearing loss. To devise improved strategies for viral delivery, we investigated two injection techniques, r ...

Imagined paralysis alters somatosensory evoked-potentials

Olaf Blanke, Estelle Palluel, Silvia Marchesotti

Recent studies employing body illusions have shown that multisensory conflict can alter body representations and modulate low-level sensory processing. One defining feature of these body illusions is that they are sensory driven and thus passive on behalf ...

Shedding light on excessive crying in babies

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...

The gram-negative sensing receptor PGRP-LC contributes to grooming induction in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen

Behavioral resistance protects insects from microbial infection. However, signals inducing insect hygiene behavior are still relatively unexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that olfactory signals from microbes enhance insect hygiene behavior, and gu ...

Performance monitoring for brain-computer-interface actions

Olaf Blanke, Aaron Schurger, Steven Gale, Olivia Gozel

When presented with a difficult perceptual decision, human observers are able to make metacognitive judgements of subjective certainty. Such judgements can be made independently of and prior to any overt response to a sensory stimulus, presumably via inter ...

Digit somatotopy in the human cerebellum: A 7T fMRI study

Rolf Gruetter, Olaf Blanke, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Roberto Martuzzi

The representation of the human body in the human cerebellum is still relatively unknown, compared to the well-studied homunculus in the primary somatosensory cortex. The investigation of the body representation in the cerebellum and its somatotopic organi ...

Role and mechanism of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in gustatory and chemesthetic sensations associated with dietary molecules

"Chemosensory perception", the perception of food chemicals, relies on the complex cooperation of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory detection systems. In the oral cavity, the taste buds and the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve are the organs tha ...
