Modelling and Optimizing the Process of Learning Mathematics

This paper introduces a computer-based training program for enhancing numerical cognition aimed at children with developmental dyscalculia. Through modelling cognitive processes and controlling the level of their stimulation, the system optimizes the learn ...

Identification of Signaling Mechanisms Determining the Development of Large Excitatory Synapses in the Lower Auditory System

Le Xiao

In the brainstem auditory circuit of mammals and birds, excitatory synapses with extraordinarily large size have evolved, which ensure fast membrane potential signaling mediated by large, multiquantal excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs). The so-called ...

Stress-induced cognitive and psychopathological alterations

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

Intensive research over the past few years has provided evidence, that stress is a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. In particular cognitive and emotional processes have been shown to be susceptible to modulation by stress. Whereas acute st ...
