Noninvasive deep brain stimulation to modulate human behavior by means of transcranial temporal interference electrical stimulation
All functions we use in our everyday life depend on a complex interplay between both cortical and subcortical brain areas, communicating in between each others. When a region is affected by either an accident, aging or neurodegenerative diseases, the whole ...
EPFL2023Are engineering teachers ready to leverage the power of play to teach transversal skills?
Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Yousef Jalali, Natascia Petringa
What conceptions do teachers hold about learning activities to develop students’ transversal skills? This qualitative exploration at a research-intensive engineering school draws on interviews and focus groups to explore teachers’ ideas about developing in ...
2023Prefrontal engrams of long-term fear memory perpetuate pain perception
A painful episode can lead to a life-long increase in an individual's experience of pain. Fearful anticipation of imminent pain could play a role in this phenomenon, but the neurobiological underpinnings are unclear because fear can both suppress and enhan ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023The aging brain as a model to understand motor skill acquisition in humans and its restoration using non-invasive brain stimulation
Motor skill acquisition is essential to our survival, as it enables an efficient interaction with the changing world around us. The acquisition of novel sequential tasks, of particular relevance due to their pervasiveness in everyday life activities, can b ...
EPFL2022Does anodal cerebellar tDCS boost transfer of after-effects from throwing to pointing during prism adaptation?
Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury
Prism Adaptation (PA) is a useful method to study the mechanisms of sensorimotor adaptation. After-effects following adaptation to the prismatic deviation constitute the probe that adaptive mechanisms occurred, and current evidence suggests an involvement ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: functional MRI and connectome correlates
decrement have been proposed, such as weakened acquisition of the motor skill. While the processes at play during the initial acquisition phase have been well-characterized in young adults, they were only scarcely investigated in older adults. The goal of ...
EPFL2022Epigenetic plasticity as a signature for memory allocation
Long-lasting memories are stored in a small set of neurons scattered throughout the brain, so-called engram cells. To define a stable engram each region of the brain involved in memory storage recruits between 5 and 20 percent of excitatory neurons. In par ...
EPFL2022Cognitive Impairment and Metabolite Profile Alterations in the Hippocampus and Cortex of Male and Female Mice Exposed to a Fat and Sugar-Rich Diet are Normalized by Diet Reversal
João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Adélaïde Alice Mohr
Diabetes impacts on brain metabolism, structure, and function. Alterations in brain metabolism have been observed in obesity and diabetes models induced by exposure to diets rich in saturated fat and/or sugar and have been linked to memory impairment. Howe ...
INT SOC AGING & DISEASE2022The HDAC inhibitor CI-994 acts as a molecular memory aid by facilitating synaptic and intracellular communication after learning
Johannes Gräff, Allison Marie Burns, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Giulia Santoni
Long-term memory formation relies on synaptic plasticity, neuronal activity-dependent gene transcription, and epigenetic modifications. Multiple studies have shown that HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) treatments can enhance individual aspects of these processes and ...
2022Inquiring the librarian about the location of memory
Where memories are stored in the brain is an age-old question in psychology and neuroscience alike. In particular, whether hippocampus-encoded memories are transferred to the cortex or remain hippocampus-dependent over time has not been definitely answered ...
