Augmenting locomotor perception by remapping tactile foot sensation to the back

Olaf Blanke, Mohamed Bouri, Oliver Alan Kannape, Atena Fadaeijouybari, Selim Jean Habiby Alaoui

Background :Sensory reafferents are crucial to correct our posture and movements, both reflexively and in a cognitively driven manner. They are also integral to developing and maintaining a sense of agency for our actions. In cases of compromised reafferen ...

Reward timing matters in motor learning

Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Julie Duqué

Reward timing, that is, the delay after which reward is delivered following an action is known to strongly influence reinforcement learning. Here, we asked if reward timing could also modulate how people learn and consolidate new motor skills. In 60 health ...

Electronic Population Transfer via Impulsive Stimulated X-Ray Raman Scattering with Attosecond Soft-X-Ray Pulses

Christoph Bostedt, Xiang Li, Andre Al Haddad, Solène Oberli, Siqi Li

Free-electron lasers provide a source of x-ray pulses short enough and intense enough to drive nonlinearities in molecular systems. Impulsive interactions driven by these x-ray pulses provide a way to create and probe valence electron motions with high tem ...

Latency to Reward Predicts Social Dominance in Rats: A Causal Role for the Dopaminergic Mesolimbic System

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laura Lozano Montes, Sonia Abad Florensa

Reward signals encoded in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system guide approach/seeking behaviors to all varieties of life-supporting stimuli (rewards). Differences in dopamine (DA) levels have been found between dominant and submissive animals. However, it is ...

One-shot learning and eligibility traces in sequential decision making

Marco Philipp Lehmann

When humans or animals perform an action that led to a desired outcome, they show a tendency to repeat it. The mechanisms underlying learning from past experience and adapting future behavior are still not fully understood. In this thesis, I study how huma ...

Central nervous system microbleeds in the acute phase are associated with structural integrity by DTI one year after mild traumatic brain injury: A longitudinal study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alessandro Daducci, Pietro Bontempi

Introduction: Several imaging modalities are under investigation to unravel the pathophysiological mystery of delayed performance deficits in patients after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Although both imaging and neuropsychological studies have been ...

Learning Recruits Neurons Representing Previously Established Associations in the Corvid Endbrain

Galyna Pidpruzhnykova

Crows quickly learn arbitrary associations. As a neuronal correlate of this behavior, single neurons in the corvid endbrain area nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) change their response properties during association learning. In crows performing a delayed ass ...

Evidence for eligibility traces in human learning

Michael Herzog, Wulfram Gerstner, Kerstin Preuschoff, Marco Philipp Lehmann, He Xu, Vasiliki Liakoni

Whether we prepare a coffee or navigate to a shop: in many tasks we make multiple decisions before reaching a goal. Learning such state-action sequences from sparse reward raises the problem of credit-assignment: which actions out of a long sequence should ...

In vivo neurochemistry of the ventral striatum and social competition in Homo sapiens

Alina Veronika Irene Strasser

Ventral striatal function and trait anxiety have been shown to influence reward-seeking behaviour and social competition in humans. Moreover, social status perceptions have been shown to modulate ventral striatal function. The neurochemical underpinnings o ...

Prospective Coding by Spiking Neurons

Johanni Michael Brea, Walter Senn

Animals learn to make predictions, such as associating the sound of a bell with upcoming feeding or predicting a movement that a motor command is eliciting. How predictions are realized on the neuronal level and what plasticity rule underlies their learnin ...
