    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of memory and cognitive functions. Here the inventors show that memory stimulations induce autophagy in the mouse hippocampus, while local pharmacological and genetic modulations of hippocampal autophagy strongly influence memory acquisition. More, the inventors observe that hippocampal autophagy declines during aging and they find that restoring autophagy specifically in the hippocampus of aged mice, following autophagy inducers (such as TAT-Beclin-1), can significantly reverse age-related memory decline. Their results reveal a novel physiological role of autophagy in regulating hippocampal-dependent memory functions, and demonstrate the potential therapeutic benefits of modulating autophagy in order to prevent and/or reverse the deleterious effects of aging on cognitive function. The present invention relates to an activator of the autophagy for use in the restoration and/or improvement of cognitive functions in a subject in need thereof.

    摘要: A device for automatically imaging the capillary blood vessels of a living tissue likely to move, configured for selecting images of the sequence, called ‘sharp images’, arranged in chronological order of acquisition, shuffling the sharp images, for decorrelating temporally the sharp images, by arranging them in a shuffled order different from the chronological order, realigning spatially the sharp images arranged in the shuffled order, generating a projected image by projection of the pixels of the realigned sharp images, in a stack, the projected values of the pixels forming the projected image being extremal intensity values of the pixels of all the sharp images, the projection of the extremal of intensity values of the pixels rendering all the positions of all erythrocytes of all the sharp images in the projected image.
