Comment le dialogue moléculaire entre bactéries et neurones change le comportement de l’hôte infecté
2019
National audience; Les eucaryotes vivent dans un environnement contaminé par des microorganismes. Il n'est donc pas surprenant qu'ils aient forgé, au fil du temps, des relations extrêmement complexes et intimes entre eux. Les eucaryotes sont capables de percevoir la présence de bactéries et d’adapter leur réponse immunitaire, leur état physiologique ou même leur comportement en conséquence. Nombreuses sont les études qui ont démontré que les bactéries peuvent interagir avec le système nerveux eucaryote, soit au bénéfice du microbe qui modifie le comportement de l'hôte, soit au bénéfice de l'hôte qui adapte son comportement à l'infection. Dans la plupart des cas, cependa…
Can horses discriminate human body odors from joy and fear contexts?
2022
Animals are commonly believed to detect human emotions through smell, in link with the primitive and ubiquitous characteristics of chemoreception. Indeed, the brain areas dedicated to odor processing are among the oldest structures in mammalian evolution, and chemosignals may play a role in interspecific communication. However, few studies have conclusively demonstrated that animals can perceive human emotions through smell. To determine whether horses can discriminate between human odors of fear and joy, a habituation-discrimination protocol was used. Horses were exposed to sweat odors from humans who declared they had experienced fear or joy while viewing a comedy or a horror film, respec…

Brain lateralization probed by water diffusion at the atomic to micrometric scale
2019
International audience; Combined neutron scattering and diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance experiments have been used to reveal significant interregional asymmetries (lateralization) in bovine brain hemispheres in terms of myelin arrangement and water dynamics at micron to atomic scales. Thicker myelin sheaths were found in the left hemisphere using neutron diffraction. 4.7 T dMRI and quasi-elastic neutron experiments highlighted significant differences in the properties of water dynamics in the two hemispheres. The results were interpreted in terms of hemisphere-dependent cellular composition (number of neurons, cell distribution, etc.) as well as specificity of neurological functions (s…
Impact of perturbations on the neuron response
2017
International audience; We propose an overview of the effects of deterministic and stochastic perturbations on the response of a neuron. Our study is based on numerical simulations and experiments with an elementary neural circuit. We use different excitations to highlight various phenomena such as Mode locking, Vibrational Resonance, Ghost Stochastic Resonance... We close the study with a lattice of coupled circuit.

Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome
2020
Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome (PDS) was first described by the Geriatrics School of Dijon (France), three decades ago, under the name «psychomotor regression syndrome». Over time, the original clinical features remained unchanged. However, progress has been made in its pathophysiology understanding and care, hence the new name, PDS, appeared in the 1990s. The PDS is also called sub-cortico-frontal dysfunction syndrome since the 2000s. It corresponds to a decompensation of posture, gait and psychomotor automatisms, related to an alteration of the postural and motor programming, which is a consequence of sub-cortico-frontal lesions. The clinical features of PDS associate backward disequi…
