+=Pe SDF-1alpha and its cognate receptor CXCR4 are expressed in several neuronal populations. This review focuses on our current knowledge about the actions of this chemokine on neuronal excitability, through CXCR4 or other yet unknown pathways. In various neuronal populations (CA1 neurons of the hippocampus, granular and Purkinje cells of the...
The estimation of the cilia beating frequency (CBF) is of great interest in understanding how the CBF modulates liquid fluxes and how it is controlled by the ciliated cell intra- and/or extra-cellular medium composition in physiological processes. Motion artifacts and camera defaults may hinder the computation of the frequency variations during...
Motile cilia play a major role in fluid circulation in many biological systems such as the oviduct, the airway and the cerebral ventricles and defects in cilia beating lead to pathologies called ciliopathies. The estimation of the cilia beating frequency (CBF) is of great interest to understand how the CBF modulates the liquid fluxes and how...
Dance is a universal form of human expression that constitutes a physical activity and a body language that involves motor, cognitive, visuospatial, emotional and social engagement. This article is focusing on the therapeutic benefits of dance regarding body-mind health. After an introduction, we discuss the connection between body movements...
Memories of everyday experiences involve the encoding of a rich and dynamic representation of present objects and their contextual features. Traditionally, the resulting mnemonic trace is referred to as Episodic Memory, i.e. the "what", "where" and "when" of a lived episode. The journey for such memory trace encoding begins with the perceptual...
Defining the practices of Indian and Chinese energy arts practices faces both taxonomic and axiological obstacles. These arts are at the heart of a dialogue between Eastern and Western scientific cultures, giving them the power to overcome the clash of civilizations. In this article, we provide a progress report about the benefits of these...
Two neuronal populations of the lateral hypothalamus that, respectively, produce melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and orexin peptides are crucially involved in control of metabolism, feeding and related goal-oriented behaviors. In contrast to orexin neurons, mainly involved in short-term regulation of feeding, MCH neurons participate in...

In developed societies, the number of people diagnosed with chronic stress-related illnesses has risen rapidly in recent years. To meet the increasing demand for relaxation and well-being, several companies have developed relaxation installations to be used within business premises or in public locations. The effects of such devices on...
Sensible au fort développement des thérapies non conventionnelles dans nos sociétés occidentales une équipe autour du doyen de la faculté de médecine de Nice s'est questionnée sur ces pratiques plébiscitées par les patients alors qu'elles ne sont pas reconnues par le milieu médical. En 2015, cette équipe réunissant médecins, praticiens et...
Following inflammation or infection, cytokines are released in the blood. Besides their effect on the immune system, cytokines can also act in the brain to modulate our behaviors, inducing for example anorexia when produced in large amount. This review focuses on our current knowledge on how cytokines can influence the brain and the behaviors...
The eyes are in constant movement to optimize the interpretation of the visual scene by thebrain. Eye movements are controlled by complex neural networks that interact with the restof the brain. The direction of our eye movements could thus be influenced by our cognitiveactivity (imagination, internal dialogue, memory, etc.). A given cognitive...
Rapid relaxation devices developed by private companies propose rapid solutions to fight against stress or anxiety. However, there have been insufficient scientific studies on these devices. In a previous article, we evaluated the variation of 15 physiological and psychological parameters before and after relaxation in 4 groups of participants...
Le concept de « One Health » a été développé dans les années 2000. Il définit un espace dedéveloppement sûr et équitable pour l'humanité, basé sur des processus biophysiques qui régulentla stabilité de la planète. Nous exposons trois outils qui peuvent être utilisés pour sensibiliser legrand public et les médecins généralistes, en particulier,...
Inflammatory response represents one of the first immune processes following injury. It is characterized by the production of various molecules that initiate the recruitment of immune cells to the lesion sites, including in the brain. Accordingly, in acute brain trauma, such as stroke, as well as during chronic affections like multiple...

Regulation of energy homeostasis in animals involves adaptation of energy intake to its loss, through a perfect regulation of feeding behavior and energy storage/expenditure. Factors from the periphery modulate brain activity in order to adjust food intake as needed. Particularly, "first order" neurons from arcuate nucleus are able to detect...
Trace elements, often used as dietary supplements, are widely accessible without prescription at pharmacies. Pronutri has pioneered Nutripuncture®, a methodology that utilizes orally consumed trace elements to elicit a physiological response akin to that of acupuncture. Pronutri has empirically observed that the user's voice becomes deeper...
