IntroductionParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, increasing both in terms of prevalence and incidence. To date, only symptomatic treatment is available, highlighting the need to increase knowledge on disease etiology in order to develop new therapeutic strategies. Hemizygosity for the gene Engrailed-1 (En1), encoding a conserved transcription factor essential for the […]

The ability to predict the occurrence of an epileptic seizure is a safeguard against patient injury and health complications. However, a major challenge in seizure prediction arises from the significant variability observed in patient data. Common patient-specific approaches, which apply to each patient independently, often perform poorly for other patients due to the data variability. […]

Advancements in multichannel recordings of single-unit activity (SUA) in vivo present an opportunity to discover novel features of spatially-varying extracellularly-recorded action potentials (EAPs) that are useful for identifying neuron-types. Traditional approaches to classifying neuron-types often rely on computing EAP waveform features based on conventions of single-channel recordings and thus inherit their limitations. However, spatiotemporal EAP […]
