Shedding light on excessive crying in babies

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...

Excitatory/inhibitory neuronal metabolic balance in mouse hippocampus upon infusion of [U-C-13(6)]glucose

Bernard Lanz, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Guillaume Donati, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Hippocampus plays a critical role in linking brain energetics and behavior typically associated to stress exposure. In this study, we aimed to simultaneously assess excitatory and inhibitory neuronal metabolism in mouse hippocampus in vivo by applying (18) ...

Microfluidic devices for the study of cell-cell, cell-particle and particle-particle interactions

Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp

Microfluidics and microtechnologies are of great interest for biological applications. This interest is linked to the fact that microtechnologies enable the study of single cells at the cellular and sub-cellular level. One of many applications of such sing ...

Ultra-compact, high-frequency power integrated circuits based on GaN-on-Si Schottky Barrier Diodes

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Georgios Kampitsis, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Luca Nela

GaN transistors are being employed in an increasing number of applications thanks to their excellent performance and competitive price. Yet, GaN diodes are not commercially available and little is known about their performance and potential impact on power ...

A Review of Microelectronic Systems and Circuit Techniques for Electrical Neural Recording Aimed at Closed-Loop Epilepsy Control

Alexandre Schmid, Reza Ranjandish

Closed-loop implantable electronics offer a new trend in therapeutic systems aimed at controlling some neurological diseases such as epilepsy. Seizures are detected and electrical stimulation applied to the brain or groups of nerves. To this aim, the signa ...

Integration of hybrid material systems in conformable neural interfaces

Florian Dylan Fallegger

Neural interfaces are devices that are implanted into the body and interface electrically with the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system. They are inserted surgically for short periods of time or chronically to diagnose or treat several neural disease ...

Brain functional connectivity dynamics at rest in the aftermath of affective and cognitive challenges

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey, Julian Gaviria

Carry-over effects on brain states have been reported following emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigated such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs) in neural networks at rest wit ...

Development and application of dynamic functional connectivity methods to elucidate the neural underpinnings of human behaviour with functional magnetic resonance imaging

Thomas William Arthur Bolton

Human behaviour is exquisitely complex, because it is staggeringly multi-facetted and subtly varies across individuals. Characterising its yet incompletely understood underlying biological mechanisms has profound clinical implications. Here, our goal was t ...

Le sol de la ville-territoire. Projet et production de connaissances/The soil of the city-territory. Project and Knowledge Production

Paola Viganò, Antoine Vialle, Martina Barcelloni Corte

Les exigences politiques actuelles en matière d’aménagement du territoire appellent à la convergence de plusieurs regards interdisciplinaires sur un nouvel objet : les sols fortement transformés par l’homme, dont une part significative est située dans le m ...

Computational modeling of the olfactory receptor Olfr73 suggests a molecular basis for low potency of olfactory receptor-activating compounds

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Thamani Dahoun, Shuguang Yuan, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

The mammalian olfactory system uses hundreds of specialized G-protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) to discriminate a nearly unlimited number of odorants. Cognate agonists of most ORs have not yet been identified and potential non-olfactory processes m ...

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

Philippe Renaud, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, George Coukos, Alexandre Harari, Marion Arnaud

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 ...
