Experimental and computational analysis of REM sleep distributed cortical activity in mice

Although classically Rapid-Eye Movement (REM) sleep was thought to generate desynchronized activity similar to wakefulness, it was found that some brain regions could express Slow Wave activity (SWA), a pattern which was normally typical of slow-wave sleep ...

Human self and Neurosurgery: Advances and insights from Geneva

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Introduction: The preservation of the human self—a fundamental yet underexplored aspect of neurosurgical practice—has gained increasing attention in recent years. Research question: How can neural correlates of self-consciousness be identified, monitored, ...

Tracing the (in)visible: Methodological advances in light-dosimetry to support integrative lighting research

Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Modern life, predominantly spent indoors, has profoundly altered natural patterns of light exposure, including the intensity, spectral composition, and timing of light that humans experience daily. These changes are particularly relevant given the growing ...

Frenet-Serret Frame-based Decomposition for Part Segmentation of 3D Curvilinear Structures

Jiancheng Yang

Accurate segmentation of anatomical substructures within 3D curvilinear structures in medical imaging remains challenging due to their complex geometry and the scarcity of diverse, large-scale datasets for algorithm development and evaluation. In this pape ...

Fine-grained mapping of neural progenitors subtypes in the embryonic brain unveils context-dependent roles of signalling on cell fate decisions

Irina Khven

The mammalian brain develops through precisely orchestrated events that transform a simple neural tube into a complex structure. While single-cell RNA sequencing has revealed remarkable cellular heterogeneity, the lack of spatial context limits our underst ...

Neural anticipation of virtual infection triggers an immune response

Tommaso Enrico Bertoni

Once contact with a pathogen has occurred, it might be too late for the immune system to react. Here, we asked whether anticipatory neural responses might sense potential infections and signal to the immune system, priming it for a response. We show that p ...

Thalamic contributions to psychosis susceptibility: Evidence from co-activation patterns accounting for intra-seed spatial variability (μCAPs)

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Farnaz Delavari

The temporal variability of the thalamus in functional networks may provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To address the complexity of the role of the thalamic nuclei in psychosis, we introduced micro-co-activation patterns ( ...

Predicting Visual Stimuli From Cortical Response Recorded With Wide-Field Imaging in a Mouse

Silvestro Micera

Neural decoding of the visual system is a subject of research interest, both to understand how the visual system works and to be able to use this knowledge in areas, such as computer vision or brain-computer interfaces. Spike-based decoding is often used, ...

Probing and modulating inter-areal coupling in the cortical visual motion processing pathway with non-invasive brain stimulation

Michele Bevilacqua

In the last few years, stroke ranked as the second most common cause of death and is the third most significant condition affecting disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide. Being the most prevalent and quality of life impacting post-stroke symptom ...

Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization

Emilie Cornelia Maria Revol

Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...

The mouse motor system contains multiple premotor areas and partially follows human

Valerio Zerbi

While humans are known to have several premotor cortical areas, secondary motor cortex (M2) is often considered to be the only higher -order motor area of the mouse brain and is thought to combine properties of various human premotor cortices. Here, we sho ...

An immersive virtual reality tool for assessing left and right unilateral spatial neglect

Alpha peak frequency affects visual performance beyond temporal resolution

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Recent work suggests that the individual alpha peak frequency (IAPF) reflects the temporal resolution of visual processing: individuals with higher IAPF can segregate stimuli at shorter intervals compared to those with lower IAPF. However, this evidence ma ...

Task-driven neural network models predict neural dynamics of proprioception: Neural network model weights

Alexander Mathis, Alberto Silvio Chiappa, Alessandro Marin Vargas, Axel Bisi

Proprioception tells the brain the state of the body based on distributed sensors in the body. However, the principles that govern proprioceptive processing from those distributed sensors are poorly understood. Here, we employ a task-driven neural network ...
