Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024Neurobiological and metabolic basis of motivation and effort-based decision-making - A human 1H-MRS, fMRI and machine learning study
Motivation is a multifaceted phenomenon that we explore within the framework of decision-making. Through this cognitive process, actions are directed towards specific goals by performing a trade-off between the cost and benefit of an action. The dorsomedia ...
EPFL2024Thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of energy barrettes: Field experiments and numerical simulations
Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria
Over the past two decades, the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of earth-contact structures such as piles, walls, slabs, and tunnels, which simultaneously provide structural support and energy supply, has been studied through various field experiments and ...
ELSEVIER2023Transcriptomic analysis reveals mitochondrial pathways associated with distinct adolescent behavioral phenotypes and stress response
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen, Thamyris Silva
Adolescent individuals exhibit great variability in cortical dynamics and behavioral outcomes. The developing adolescent brain is highly sensitive to social experiences and environmental insults, influencing how personality traits emerge. A distinct patter ...
2023Behavioral outcome of very preterm children at 5 years of age: Prognostic utility of brain tissue volumes at term-equivalent-age, perinatal, and environmental factors
Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas
ObjectivePrematurity is associated with a high risk of long-term behavioral problems. This study aimed to assess the prognostic utility of volumetric brain data at term-equivalent-age (TEA), clinical perinatal factors, and parental social economic risk in ...
WILEY2023Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling
Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi
Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...
Cambridge2023Social isolation shortens lifespan through oxidative stress in ants
Alessandro Crespi, Laurent Keller
Social isolation negatively affects health, induces detrimental behaviors, and shortens lifespan in social species. Little is known about the mechanisms underpinning these effects because model species are typically short-lived and non-social. Using coloni ...
Berlin2023Development of a numerical model to assess the influence of fluid-structure interactions on the dynamic behavior of geomembrane systems in pressure waterways
The need to maintain and expand hydraulic structures is a major challenge for the coming energy transition, especially in Western countries. One technique already widespread allowing to meet these issues consists in the use of geomembranes to overcome prob ...
