    Description de la recherche<\/h2>\n

    Le corps humain interagit avec le monde ext\u00e9rieur par le biais de mouvements coordonn\u00e9s d\u2019une fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9cise comme le grand jet\u00e9 d’une ballerine ou les auscultations d\u00e9licates des doigts d’un horloger. Les unit\u00e9s de base qui contr\u00f4lent ces comportements sont les neurones moteurs qui transmettent l’ensemble de l’activit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me moteur aux muscles somatiques. Par comparaison avec la perception visuelle ou la pens\u00e9e abstraite, les t\u00e2ches effectu\u00e9es par les composantes du syst\u00e8me moteur semblent \u00eatre relativement simples, mais nous ne comprenons pas encore enti\u00e8rement la fa\u00e7on dont m\u00eame ces circuits de base sont assembl\u00e9s. L’int\u00e9r\u00eat pour ce sujet s’est intensifi\u00e9 avec la d\u00e9couverte de la sensibilit\u00e9 des neurones moteurs aux maladies neurod\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9ratives comme la scl\u00e9rose lat\u00e9rale amyotrophique (SLA ou maladie de Lou Gehrigh) et la qu\u00eate des traitements pour les blessures de la moelle \u00e9pini\u00e8re. Afin de d\u00e9terminer comment le syst\u00e8me moteur est assembl\u00e9, le laboratoire du Dr Artur Kania \u00e9tudie le guidage axonal, la migration des corps cellulaires, l’apoptose et l’activit\u00e9 \u00e9lectrique lors du d\u00e9veloppement embryonnaire. <\/div>\n

      Research description<\/h2>\n

      The human body interacts with the outside world through voluntary movements like a ballerina\u2019s precisely coordinated grand jet\u00e9 or the delicate movements of a watchmaker\u2019s fingers.\u00a0 The basic units that control these behaviours are motor neurons that transmit the summation of motor system activity to the somatic muscles. Compared to visual perception or abstract thinking, the tasks performed by components of the motor system appear to be relatively simple, but we do not yet fully understand how even these basic circuits are assembled. Interest in this topic has been heightened by the sensitivity of motor neurons to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease), and the quest to find treatments for spinal cord injuries. To determine how the motor system is assembled, Dr. Artur Kania’s laboratory is studying axon guidance, the migration of cell bodies, apoptosis, and electrical activity during embryonic development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
