Most children with developmental coordination disorders have sensorimotor impairments and reduced physical activity, which can lead to cognitive and motor disorders. On the contrary, physical activity is widely known for its beneficial effects on the body, especially during childhood. Indeed, physical activity is essential for the development of the neuromuscular system, allowing the acquisition of coordination and increasingly precise movements during the first years of life. In order to better understand the effects of atypical sensorimotor experiences during childhood, a model of early sens

Delayed Cerebral Ischemia (DCI), is a complication of sub-Arachnoïdal Hemorrhage (sAH) associated with a high mortality and morbidity, which is responsible for heavy impairments on survivors. DCI is a slow developing pathology and its diagnosis requires concomitant monitoring of functional or motor deficits and brain perfusion or lesions. In our study we aim, after the development and validation of a preclinical DCI model, to investigate the utility of functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging for longitudinal monitoring of DCI. First we have adapted and refined a rodent model for the minimally-inva
