Digital reconstruction of the mammalian spinal cord: from anatomical reference volume to cell type atlas of the mouse spinal cord

Ihor Kuras

The spinal cord is an elongated nervous structure that together with the brain forms the central nervous system. It relays sensory and motor information between the brain and the body, thus controlling most somatic and autonomic body functions. In recent y ...

Overexpression of human alpha-Synuclein leads to dysregulated microbiome/metabolites with ageing in a rat model of Parkinson disease

Hilal Lashuel, Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Florian Lang, Joan Romani Aumedes

Background Braak's hypothesis states that sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) follows a specific progression of pathology from the peripheral to the central nervous system, and this progression can be monitored by detecting the accumulation of alpha-Synuclei ...

The circadian clock time tunes axonal regeneration

Thomas Haynes Hutson

Nerve injuries cause permanent neurological disability due to limited axonal regeneration. Injury-dependent and-independent mechanisms have provided important insight into neuronal regeneration, however, common denominators underpinning regeneration remain ...

Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation

Anthony Pierre Robert Renard

Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populat ...

Fractal analysis in the quantification of medical imaging associated with multiple sclerosis pathology

Maria-Alexandra Paun

Backgrounds: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inveterate phlogistic situation characterized by focal and vaguely diffusive de-myelination and neurodegeneration, in the sphere of central nervous system (CNS). The brain's chronic inflammatory reaction includes ...

Covalent and Noncovalent Conjugation of Degradable Polymer Nanoparticles to T Lymphocytes

Harm-Anton Klok, Tanja Thomsen

Cells are attractive as carriers that can help to enhance control over the biodistribution of polymer nanomedicines. One strategy to use cells as carriers is based on the cell surface immobilization of the nanoparticle cargo. While a range of strategies ca ...

ErbB receptor signaling directly controls oligodendrocyte progenitor cell transformation and spontaneous remyelination after spinal cord injury

Nicholas David James

We recently discovered a novel role for neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) signaling in mediating spontaneous regenerative processes and functional repair after spinal cord injury (SCI). We revealed that Nrg1 is the molecular signal responsible for spontaneous functional ...

Microfluidic device performing on flow study of serial cell–cell interactions of two cell populations

Philippe Renaud, George Coukos, Alexandre Harari, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Clarisse Jeanne Antonia Benoit

In this study we present a novel microfluidic hydrodynamic trapping device to probe the cell–cell interaction between all cell samples of two distinct populations. We have exploited an hydrodynamic trapping method using microfluidics to immobilize a batch ...

Notch2 Signaling Maintains NSC Quiescence in the Murine Ventricular-Subventricular Zone

Freddy Radtke

Neurogenesis continues in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) of the adult forebrain from quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs). V-SVZ NSCs are a reservoir for new olfactory bulb (OB) neurons that migrate through the rostral migratory stream (RMS). To ...

In vivo pulse labeling of isochronic cohorts of cells in the central nervous system using FlashTag

Subashika Govindan

The tracing of neuronal cell lineages is critical to our understanding of cellular diversity in the CNS. This protocol describes a fluorescence birth-dating technique to label, track and isolate isochronic cohorts of newborn cells in the CNS in vivo in mou ...

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 ...

Subject-Independent Odor Pleasantness Classification Using Brain and Peripheral Signals

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Eleni Kroupi

Enhanced sensation of reality from multimedia contents can be achieved by creating realistic multimedia environments, using visual, auditory, and olfactory information. Although the affective information from video and audio has been extensively studied, t ...

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 ...

Interactions of Peripheral Nerve Cells with Soft Micropillar Interfaces

Cédric Xavier Paulou

Regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces are particularly invasive implant devices. They rely on the growth of axons from transected nerve stumps through electrode-bearing structures in order to establish highly efficient communication channels with the ne ...

Nkx2.1-derived astrocytes and neurons together with Slit2 are indispensable for anterior commissure formation

Elizabeth Anne Allen

Guidepost cells present at and surrounding the midline provide guidance cues that orient the growing axons through commissures. Here we show that the transcription factor Nkx2.1 known to control the specification of GABAergic interneurons also regulates th ...

Conditional expression of Parkinson's disease-related R1441C LRRK2 in midbrain dopaminergic neurons of mice causes nuclear abnormalities without neurodegeneration

Graham Knott, Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene cause late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). The clinical and neurochemical features of LRRK2-linked PD are similar to idiopathic disease although neuropathology is somewhat heter ...

Phase-based manganese enhanced MRI, a new methodology to enhance brain cytoarchitectural contrast and study manganese uptake

Rolf Gruetter, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Rajika Maddage

Purpose As the magnetic susceptibility induced frequency shift increases linearly with magnetic field strength, the present work evaluates manganese as a phase imaging contrast agent and investigates the dose dependence of brain enhancement in comparison t ...

Emergence of Connectivity Motifs in Networks of Model Neurons with Short- and Long-Term Plastic Synapses

Michele Giugliano

Recent experimental data from the rodent cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb indicate that specific connectivity motifs are correlated with short-term dynamics of excitatory synaptic transmission. It was observed that neurons with short-term facilitating sy ...
