"Epilepsies of the temporal lobe: emergence, basal state and paroxysmal transitions" (HEP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
"This proposal focuses on a human disease: epilepsy of the temporal lobe. This syndrome has a relatively stereotyped history. Focal seizures emerge, with a delay of several years in the human, after an initial insult that results in neuronal death. We will use physiology, imaging, anatomy and transcriptomic techniques to ask how an epileptic brain emerges, to define different neuronal cell types ...

Dynamic sensory-motor integration in spinal circuits (Optoloco)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Although locomotion may seem effortless, it relies on spinal circuits producing extraordinarily complex patterns of muscle contractions. Graded movements occur over a wide range of amplitudes and frequencies, instantaneously adapting to changes in the environmental or inner state. Locomotion relies on oscillations generated by genetically determined circuits within the spine. Sensory information f ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Improving the lives of Parkinson’s Disease patients while reducing side-effects through tailored deep brain stimulation (IMPACT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,
The IMPACT project is about improving the lives of brain diseased patients through a novel approach that leaps beyond currently available Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) devices and procedures. The initial project focus is on Parkinson’s Disease (PD), but further brain-disease indications will be included in the later phase of the project. The personalized approach that IMPACT brings is essential in ...

Unraveling the circuits of locomotion with opto-genetic manipulation of neuronal activity in awake behaving animals (Opto-Loco)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 2 mai 2016,
Locomotion relies on neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs) that generate periodic motor commands for rhythmic movements. The manipulation of electrical activity and cell signaling in specific neuron type using light gated receptors enables us today to dissect the specific neuronal circuits forming the CPGs, and understand the dynamic role of sensory inputs in awake behaving anim ...

Developing novel models of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis using motor neuron cultures and zebrafish (Novel ALS Models)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
In 2008, I led a team that identified mutations in the TAR DNA binding protein (TARDBP) gene that encodes TDP-43 in ALS patients, which is enriched in inclusion bodies present in motor neurons from ALS patients. Also, mutations in the fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene were identified in ALS patients, with FUS involved in similar molecular mechanisms as TDP-43. This project aims to elucidate mechanisms i ...

Self-Modulating Neurons in the Cerebral Cortex: From Molecular Mechanisms to Cortical Network Activities (CORTEXSELFCONTROL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
"In the mammalian brain, the neocortex is the site where sensory information is integrated into complex cognitive functions. This is accomplished by the activity of both principal glutamatergic neurons and locally-projecting inhibitory GABAergic interneurons, interconnected in complex networks. Inhibitory neurons play several key roles in neocortical function. For example, they shape sensory recep ...
