Brain matters: unveiling the distinct contributions of region, age, and sex to glia diversity and CNS function

Gioele La Manno, Zahra Moslehi

The myelinated white matter tracts of the central nervous system (CNS) are essential for fast transmission of electrical impulses and are often differentially affected in human neurodegenerative diseases across CNS region, age and sex. We hypothesize that ...

Understanding motor control and impairment: An upper-limb model for muscular assessment

Tristan Jean Robin Barjavel

The human upper limb is a complex musculoskeletal system that can still perform various tasks with impressive efficacy thanks to the ability of the central nervous system to control and modulate the activation of more than 40 muscles. Stroke is a leading ...

Wireless neuromodulation with porous silicon

Silvestro Micera

Wireless optoelectronic devices are fabricated by controlling the porosity of p-type silicon, enabling in vivo efficient, non-genetic optoelectronic modulation of peripheral nerve activity. ...

Central and peripheral delivered AAV9-SMN are both efficient but target different pathomechanisms in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy

Bernard Schneider

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by loss of the SMN1 gene and low SMN protein levels. Although lower motor neurons are a primary target, there is evidence that peripheral organ defects contribute to SMA. Current SMA gene ther ...

A method to establish functional vagus nerve topography from electro-neurographic spontaneous activity

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni

Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging approach to treat many types of diseases via electrical stimulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Because the vagus nerve (VN) is one of the most important nerves controlling several ANS functions, stimulation ...

A lightweight learning-based decoding algorithm for intraneural vagus nerve activity classification in pigs

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Leonardo Pollina

Objective. Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging field that aims at developing closed-loop neuromodulation protocols for the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to treat a wide range of disorders. When designing a closed-loop protocol for real time modulation o ...

Bidirectional bionic limbs: a perspective bridging technology and physiology

Silvestro Micera

Precise control of bionic limbs relies on robust decoding of motor commands from nerves or muscles signals and sensory feedback from artificial limbs to the nervous system by interfacing the afferent nerve pathways. Implantable devices for bidirectional co ...

Polysaccharide Layer-by-Layer Coating for Polyimide-Based Neural Interfaces

Silvestro Micera

Implantable flexible neural interfaces (IfNIs) are capable of directly modulating signals of the central and peripheral nervous system by stimulating or recording the action potential. Despite outstanding results in acute experiments on animals and humans, ...

Clinical neuroscience and neurotechnology: An amazing symbiosis

Silvestro Micera

In the last decades, clinical neuroscience found a novel ally in neurotechnologies, devices able to record and stimulate electrical activity in the nervous system. These technologies improved the ability to diagnose and treat neural disorders. Neurotechnol ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain: What is stimulated? - A consensus and critical position paper

Traian Popa

Transcranial (electro)magnetic stimulation (TMS) is currently the method of choice to non-invasively induce neural activity in the human brain. A single transcranial stimulus induces a time-varying electric field in the brain that may evoke action potentia ...

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 ...
