Cutaneous inputs to dorsal column nuclei in adult macaque monkeys subjected to unilateral lesion of the primary motor cortex or of the cervical spinal cord and treatments promoting axonal growth

Savidan, Julie ; Beaud, Marie-Laure ; Rouiller, Eric M.

In: Neuroscience Insights, 2020, vol. 15, p. 2633105520973991

The highly interconnected somatosensory and motor systems are subjected to connectivity changes at close or remote locations following a central nervous system injury. What is the impact of unilateral injury of the primary motor cortex (hand area; MCI) or of the cervical cord (hemisection at C7-C8 level; SCI) on the primary somatosensory (cutaneous) inputs to the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in...

Variable interhemispheric asymmetry in layer v of the supplementary motor area following cervical hemisection in adult macaque monkeys

Contestabile, Alessandro ; Colangiulo, R. ; Lucchini, Matteo ; Rouiller, Eric M. ; Schmidlin, Eric

In: eNeuro, 2020, vol. 7, no. 5, p. ENEURO.0280-20.2020

Motor cortical areas from both hemispheres play a role during functional recovery after a unilateral spinal cord injury (SCI). However, little is known about the morphologic and phenotypical differences that a SCI could trigger in corticospinal (CS) neurons of the ipsilesional and contralesional hemisphere. Using an SMI-32 antibody which specifically labeled pyramidal neurons in cortical...

Cortical projection from the premotor or primary motor cortex to the subthalamic nucleus in intact and parkinsonian adult macaque monkeys: a pilot tracing study

Besides the main cortical inputs to the basal ganglia, via the corticostriatal projection, there is another input via the corticosubthalamic projection (CSTP), terminating in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The present study investigated and compared the CSTPs originating from the premotor cortex (PM) or the primary motor cortex (M1) in two groups of adult macaque monkeys. The first group...

Postnatal development of the entorhinal cortex: a stereological study in macaque monkeys

Piguet, Olivia ; Chareyron, Loïc J. ; Banta Lavenex, Pamela ; Amaral, David G. ; Lavenex, Pierre

In: Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2020, vol. 528, no. 14, p. 2308-2332

The entorhinal cortex is the main gateway for interactions between the neocortex and the hippocampus. Distinct regions, layers, and cells of the hippocampal formation exhibit different profiles of structural and molecular maturation during postnatal development. Here, we provide estimates of neuron number, neuronal soma size, and volume of the different layers and subdivisions of the monkey...

Combined with anti‐Nogo‐A antibody treatment, BDNF did not compensate the extra deleterious motor effect caused by large size cervical cord hemisection in adult macaques

Beaud, Marie‐Laure ; Rouiller, Eric M. ; Bloch, Jocelyne ; Mir, Anis ; Schwab, Martin E. ; Schmidlin, Eric

In: CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics, 2019, p. cns.13213

In spinal cord injured adult mammals, neutralizing the neurite growth inhibitor Nogo‐A with antibodies promotes axonal regeneration and functional recovery, although axonal regeneration is limited in length. Neurotrophic factors such as BDNF stimulate neurite outgrowth and protect axotomized neurons. Can the effects obtained by neutralizing Nogo‐A, inducing an environment favorable for...

Corticotectal projections from the premotor or primary motor cortex after cortical lesion or parkinsonian symptoms in adult macaque monkeys: a pilot tracing study

Fregosi, Michela ; Contestabile, Alessandro ; Badoud, Simon ; Borgognon, Simon ; Cottet, Jérôme ; Brunet, Jean-François ; Bloch, Jocelyne ; Schwab, Martin E. ; Rouiller, Eric M.

In: Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019, vol. 13, p. -

The corticotectal projections, together with the corticobulbar (corticoreticular) projections, work in parallel with the corticospinal tract (CST) to influence motoneurons in the spinal cord both directly and indirectly via the brainstem descending pathways. The tectospinal tract (TST) originates in the deep layers of the superior colliculus. In the present study, we analyzed the...

Asymmetric and distant effects of a unilateral lesion of the primary motor cortex on the bilateral supplementary motor areas in adult macaque monkeys

Contestabile, Alessandro. ; Colangiulo, R. ; Lucchini, Matteo ; Gindrat, Anne-Dominique ; Hamadjida, Adjia ; Kaeser, Mélanie ; Savidan, Julie ; Wyss, A. F. ; Rouiller, Eric M. ; Schmidlin, Eric

In: Journal of Neuroscience, 2018, vol. 38, no. 50, p. 10644–10656

A restricted lesion of the hand area in the primary motor cortex (M1) leads to a deficit of contralesional manual dexterity, followed by an incomplete functional recovery, accompanied by plastic changes in M1 itself and in other cortical areas on both hemispheres. Using the marker SMI-32 specific to pyramidal neurons in cortical layers III and V, we investigated the impact of a focal...

Changes of motor corticobulbar projections following different lesion types affecting the central nervous system in adult macaque monkeys
