Corticolumbar dynamics during recovery after spinal cord injury

Selin Anil

In humans, a severe spinal cord contusion interrupts the vast majority of supraspinal projections to the spinal cord below the lesion. Permanent paralysis results from the chronic failure of these spared projections to engage lumbar circuits producing leg ...

The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory

Wei Tang

Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...

Multi-Modal Optical Imaging of the Cerebellum in Animals

Graham Knott

Thanks to their flexibility, optical techniques could be the key to explore anatomy, plasticity, and functionality of the cerebellum. As an example, an in vivo analysis of the dynamic remodeling of cerebellar axons by nonlinear microscopy can provide funda ...

Calculation of intracranial pressure in human brain using Darcy's and Biot's models

Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...

Direct in vivo measurement of glycine and the neurochemical profile in the rat medulla oblongata

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Giulio Gambarota

The medulla oblongata (MO) contains a high density of glycinergic synapses and a particularly high concentration of glycine The aims of this study were to measure directly in vivo the neurochemical profile, including glycine, in MO using a spin-echo-based ...

Inferring connection proximity in networks of electrically coupled cells by subthreshold frequency response analysis

Henry Markram, Michele Giugliano, Corrado Cali

Electrical synapses continuously transfer signals bi-directionally from one cell to another, directly or indirectly via intermediate cells. Electrical synapses are common in many brain structures such as the inferior olive, the subcoeruleus nucleus and the ...

Attenuation of 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in glutathione peroxidase transgenic mice

Patrick Aebischer, Jean-Charles Bensadoun

Normal cellular metabolism produces oxidants which are neutralized within cells by antioxidant enzymes and other antioxidants. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants has been postulated to lead to the degeneration of specific populations of neurons ...

Neuronal GDNF expression in the adult rat nervous system identified by in situ hybridization

Patrick Aebischer

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor which has been purified on the basis of its ability to promote the survival of dopaminergic neurons in vitro. GDNF has subsequently been cloned and its sequence shown to be ...
