Anatomically and functionally distinct thalamocortical inputs to primary and secondary mouse whisker somatosensory cortices

Carl Petersen, Georgios Foustoukos, Berat Semihcan Sermet, Sami El-Boustani

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking. Here, we us ...

Refinements of hybrid neurophysical volume conductor models and application to study epidural electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord

Nathan Antoine Greiner

After spinal cord injury (SCI), the communication between the brain and spinal neural circuits below the lesion is disrupted, leading to paralysis. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbosacral spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion an ...

Neural signal recording and processing in somatic neuroprosthetic applications. A review

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic

Neurointerfaces have acquired major relevance as both rehabilitative and therapeutic tools for patients with spinal cord injury, limb amputations and other neural disorders. Bidirectional neural interfaces are a key component for the functional control of ...

Decoding of grasping tasks from intraneural recordings in trans-radial amputee

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini

Objective. A major challenge in neuroprosthetics is the restoration of sensory-motor hand functions in upper-limb amputees. Neuroprostheses based on the direct re-connection of the peripheral nerves may be an interesting approach for re-establishing the na ...

Probing myelin content of the human brain with MRI: A review

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda

Rapid and efficient transmission of electric signals among neurons of vertebrates is ensured by myelin-insulating sheaths surrounding axons. Human cognition, sensation, and motor functions rely on the integrity of these layers, and demyelinating diseases o ...

Characterization of multi-channel intraneural stimulation in transradial amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Fiorenzo Artoni, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Although peripheral nerve stimulation using intraneural electrodes has been shown to be an effective and reliable solution to restore sensory feedback after hand loss, there have been no reports on the characterization of multi-channel stimulation. A deepe ...

Microneurography as a tool to develop decoding algorithms for peripheral neuro-controlled hand prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Jacopo Rigosa

Background:The usability of dexterous hand prostheses is still hampered by the lack of natural and effective control strategies. A decoding strategy based on the process-ing of descending efferent neural signals recorded using peripheral neural interfaces ...

Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

Maurizio Molinari

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B ...

Spatially selective activation of the visual cortex via intraneural stimulation of the optic nerve

Silvestro Micera, Diego Ghezzi, Fiorenzo Artoni, Paola Vagni, Vivien Gaillet

Retinal prostheses can restore a functional form of vision in patients affected by dystrophies of the outer retinal layer. Beyond clinical utility, prostheses for the stimulation of the optic nerve, the visual thalamus or the visual cortex could also serve ...

Soft multimodal neural interfaces for unravelling sensory neurological circuits

Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud

Diseases or injuries affecting the nervous system can dramatically disrupt the quality of life. Despite extensive efforts towards treating dysfunctional nervous systems, the pharmacological and electrical approaches generally involved lack the temporal and ...

Deficiency in monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) in mice delays regeneration of peripheral nerves following sciatic nerve crush

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher

Peripheral nerve regeneration following injury occurs spontaneously, but many of the processes require metabolic energy. The mechanism of energy supply to axons has not previously been determined. In the central nervous system, monocarboxylate transporter ...
