a synaptic mechanogenetic technology to repair brain connectivity

we aim to develop a mechanogenetic technology to regulate functional connectivity of neural circuits and show how it can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes in highprevalence treatmentresistant brain disordersmechanogenetics is an emerging field of health science that attempts to regulate neural networks by combining the advantages of optogenetics with those of magnetomechanical stimulations like optogenetics it relies on targeted actuators to achieve circuit specificity while exploiting magnetic fields to remotely stimulate the brain yet despite solid theoretical foundations and encouraging experimental results we are to date unable to repair a dysfunctional brain using mechanogenetics due to technological barriers in spatial resolution and in vivo implementationwe propose an innovative solution based on functionalized biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles and bioengineered synaptic mechanosensors that synergistically integrate at specific synaptic connections to bidirectionally regulate brain circuit connectivity in response to focused magnetic fields of different frequencies delivered via highpermeability transcranial magnetic stimulators by hijacking the signaling pathways of synaptic mechanosensors we aim to promote a normalization of neural circuit activity that outlasts the therapeutic intervention we will assess the capacity of the synaptic mechanogenetic toolkit to promote and depress network activity in mouse models of stroke and epilepsyto achieve this ambitious goal we have gathered an interdisciplinary consortium going from material scientists and electronic experts to physiologists and clinicians our approach based on magnetic fields that penetrate brain tissue unimpeded is predicted to go beyond current therapeutic paradigms because it does not require implantation of invasive devices and at the same time promises to achieve subcellular resolution for repairing connectivity defects that underlie most brain disorders

provenance and transport pathways of marine proxybearing particles

understanding the nature and pace of climate change in the future requires robust and accurate information on past earths climate changes much of what we know about past shortterm climate variability stems from marine sediment sequences whose sedimentary components provide an everexpanding array of paleoclimatic proxies the fundamental assumption underlying most paleoceanographic investigations is that the environmental signal encapsulated in marine sedimentary components reflects that of the overlying water column at the time of formation however evidence indicates asynchronous synthesis and transport from distal locations for codeposited sediment constituents consequently fundamental questions arise regarding the fidelity of paleoclimate records moreover the magnitude of such temporal and spatial offsets likely varies in concert with hydrographic and associated hydrodynamic changes here i outline a research program to directly assess the impact of hydrodynamic processes on marine particles and explore implications for paleoceanographic studies specifically this research will i estimate the contribution of allochthonousasynchronous material ii constrain the extent and nature of the specific modes of particle transport iii quantify their potential to bias derived climate signals iv correct for aliased proxy records and reconstruct past hydrodynamic changes this work would provide a crucial advance in our ability to reliably interpret submillennial scale climatic signals we will develop cuttingedge methodologies for particle isolation and will apply stateofthe art analytical techniques for compoundspecific radiocarbon 14c determination the timeliness of this project is fostered by the recent advances in 14c detection for measurement of ultrasmall samples equipped with the required theoretical grounds and analytical expertise i am ideally positioned to effectively execute this challenging project
