Résumé :
2013 - 2014<br>How the brain controls movement is a question that has fascinated researchers from different areas as neuroscience, robotics and psychology. To understand how we move is not only an intellectual challenge, but it is important for finding new strategies for nursing people with movement diseases, for rehabilitation and to develop new robotic technology. While there is an agreement about the role of the primary motor cortex (M1) in the execution of voluntary movements, it is still debated what (and how) is encoded by the neural activity of the motor cortex.

Résumé :
Traumatic spinal cord injury initiates a complex pathophysiological process that eventually manifests as persistent tissue damage and possible permanent loss of neurologic function. Current experimental models are limited to measuring the gross mechanical response of the spinal cord during injury; thus, little is known about how the internal tissues of the spinal cord deform during injury. The general aims of this research were to develop a method to observe the internal deformations of the in vivo rat spinal cord during clinically-relevant injury models and to determine if the patterns of def

Résumé :
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are commonly studied experimentally by causing injury to rodent spinal cords in vivo and analyzing behavioral and histological results post injury. Few researchers have directly investigated the deformation of the in vivo spinal cord during impact, which is thought to be a predictor of injury. This knowledge would help to establish correlations among impact parameters, internal structure deformation, and histological and functional outcomes. The objective of this thesis was to develop a radiographic method of tracking the real-time internal deformations of an anesth

Résumé :
Pain is a personal subjective experience with physiological and psychological components and involves many complex processes. In 1965 Melzack and Wall proposed the influential gate control theory (GCT) of pain and, in general, this has been supported by subsequent research. This theory postulates that cells in the substantia gelatinosa, located within the spinal cord, act like a gate mechanism that modulates the flow of information through the spinal cord to the brain and thus impacts on the pain experience.

When modeling a neuron, modelers often focus on the values of parameters that produce a desired output. However, if these parameters are not unique, there could be a number of parameter sets that produce the same output. Thus, even though the values of the various maximum conductances, half activation voltages and so on differ, as a set they can produce the same spike height, firing rates, and so forth. To examine whether or not parameter sets are unique, a 3-compartment motoneuron model was created that has 15 target outputs and 59 parameters. Using parameter searches, over one hundred

Résumé :
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterised by permanent loss of motor and sensory function. The primary damage from the initial mechanical insult is exacerbated by the secondary patho-physiological cascade. Research into neuroprotective interventions to preserve tissue and reduce the damage caused by the secondary injury is hampered, in part, due to a lack of understanding of the link between the biomechanics of the primary traumatic injury and the subsequent evolution of the secondary injury. Hence, there is a need to better understand the biomechanics of SCI, the distinct injury patterns prod

It was intended for the device to be simple to produce and use, provide easy accesses to the axons for wounding and allow simple measurement of axonal regrowth.

Excitotoxicity is considered to be a major contributor to pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for spinal cord damage after acute injury. Hyperactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is the chief effector of neuronal death which leads to cell energy depletion and DNA damage with the manifestation of non-apoptotic cell death termed parthanatos.

In white matter, two peaks are observed, one with short and one with long T2 associated with water trapped between the myelin lipid bilayers and intra/extracellular water.

Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), the paralyzed extremities undergo muscle atrophy and decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) due in part to the loss of physiological loading. It is crucial to prevent musculoskeletal deterioration so the population is less susceptible to fractures, and could take advantage of stem cell treatment if it becomes available. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been shown to advantageously train the paralyzed extremities. However, there is a risk of fracture during FES due to low BMD of individuals with SCI. Therefore, the forces generated during FES nee

Résumé :
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disabling degenerative disease that heavily impacts on patient's life. To date, treatments available are mostly vain, thought to target the inflammatory processes sustaining the secondary damage: in this scenario, the use of stem cells represents a promising new therapeutic strategy as it might permit a complete recovery of the patient through a regeneration of damaged nerve fibers. Among the different type of stem cells available, we focused on 3° trimester amniotic fluid-derived cells (Afs), verifying their potential therapeutic activity on a mouse model of SCI.

Résumé :
Researchers and clinicians do not currently use the heterogeneity of the primary mechanism of spinal cord injury (SCI) to tailor treatment strategies because the effects of these distinct patterns of acute mechanical damage on long-term neuropathology have not been fully investigated. Computational modelling of SCI enables the analysis of mechanical forces and deformations within the spinal cord tissue that are not visible experimentally. I created a dynamic, hyperviscoelastic three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of the rat cervical spine and simulated contusion and dislocation SCI mech
