Modality-Specific Axonal Regeneration: Toward Selective Regenerative Neural Interfaces
Regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces have been proposed as viable alternatives for the natural control of robotic prosthetic devices. However, sensory and motor axons at the neural interface are of mixed sub-modality types, which difficult the specific recording from motor axons and the eliciting of precise sensory modalities through selective stimulation. Here we evaluated the possibility ...
متن کاملThe Quest toward limb regeneration: a regenerative engineering approach
The Holy Grail to address the clinical grand challenge of human limb loss is to develop innovative strategies to regrow the amputated limb. The remarkable advances in the scientific understanding of regeneration, stem cell science, material science and engineering, physics and novel surgical approaches in the past few decades have provided a regenerative tool box to face this grand challenge an...
متن کاملModality-specific neural effects of selective attention to taste and odor.
The insular cortex is implicated in general attention and in taste perception. The effect of selective attention to taste on insular responses may therefore reflect a general effect of attention or it may be (taste) modality specific. To distinguish between these 2 possibilities, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate brain response to tastes and odors while subjects passivel...
متن کاملAxonal regeneration proceeds through specific axonal fusion in transected C. elegans neurons.
Functional neuronal recovery following injury arises when severed axons reconnect with their targets. In Caenorhabditis elegans following laser-induced axotomy, the axon still attached to the cell body is able to regrow and reconnect with its separated distal fragment. Here we show that reconnection of separated axon fragments during regeneration of C. elegans mechanosensory neurons occurs thro...
متن کاملInhibition of Axonal Regeneration*
Because axonal damage and loss are frequent phenomena of multiple sclerosis and other types of neurodegenerative diseases, and because the effects can be devastating clinically, attention has been focused on repair to axons. However, axon regeneration appears to be inhibited via a variety of possible cellular pathways and molecules. In the following article, several of these pathways are examin...
