Our new faculty @SolaimanShokur just got published a very interesting paper on rewarding in @NatureComms 👇👇👇

[solaiman.shokur @SolaimanShokur]

Our new perspective paper titled "Reward signals in the motor cortex: from biology to neurotechnology" freshly accepted in @NatureComms! Huge tnx to @GDerosiere and @PTVassiliadis
for inviting me to write this with you. More to come soon :) @Neuro_X_EPFL @ScuolaSantAnna

[Silvestro Micera @_smicera]

Two projects of the @TNE_LAB have been selected as part of the #prototypesforhumanity2024 event!
@JonathanMuheim and Elena Losanno will show next week how to use neurotech to restore sensory-motor functions! @SolaimanShokur @DubaiFuture @SantAnnaPisa @MINE_Neurotech @EPFL_en

"Thrilled to announce my new joint assistant professorship at @UniSR (Milano) and @ScuolaSantAnna (Pisa)! Honored to join both communities and the fantastic @MINE_Neurotech. I will work closely with the clinical teams at San Raffaele Hospital to advance sensorimotor neurotechnologies (with a sensory twist 😉).
Stay tuned for more updates! #NewChapter #Neurotech

I can’t express how excited I am by these results The possibility that neurostimulation can revert neurodegenerative processes of circuit function in a motoneuron disease is truly fascinating and critical for patients, really proud of our team @ElviraPirondini @DrRFriedlander 1/2

Wow! New paper @NEJM showing that biomarkers are changing in Alzheimer's 6-18 years before clinical symptoms appear and a diagnosis is made.
Key Points:
- 648 participants and 648 controls.
- Median follow-up was ~20 years and here is what the authors detected BEFORE SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS.
- Amyloid-beta (Aβ)42 at 18 years
- The ratio of Aβ42 to Aβ40 at 14 years
- Phosphorylated tau 181 at 11 years
- Total tau at 10 years
- Neurofilament light chain at 9 years
- Hippocampal volume at 8 years
- Cognitive decline at 6 years
My take: This dataset is humbling but not surprising. Neurodegenerative changes in both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are known to occur many years prior to obvious 'clinical' symptoms and symptoms that can be detected by bedside and neuropsychological testing. This information is useful as we further development of early screening tests and improved neurotherapeutics. Scientists love to talk about 'a priori' - from what comes before. Well, here you go....

Leaky blood-brain barrier in long-COVID associated brain fog

This study confirms everything I have seen in the microscope over the last few years.
They use a technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), an imaging technique that can measure the density, integrity, and leakiness of tissue vasculature.

Comparing all individuals with previous COVID infection to unaffected controls revealed decreased general brain volume in patients with brain fog along with significantly reduced cerebral white matter volume in both hemispheres in the recovered and brain fog cohorts

#Covid_19 induces brain volume loss and leaky blood-brain barrier in some patients. How can this be more clear?

Loving this team photo of @CHEMINA_Lab at @Neuro_X_EPFL (Thank you Titouan!📸) We may be small but we are preparing to host our lab opening apero event next week! Grateful for Jessica and Nick - couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to jump start a lab! 🧬🍷
