Involvement of prelimbic cortex neurons and related circuits in the acquisition of a cooperative learning by pairs of rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Elias Georges Gebara, Ana del Rocio Conde Moro

Social behaviors such as cooperation are crucial for mammals. A deeper knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms underlying cooperation can be beneficial for people suffering from pathologies with impaired social behavior. Our aim was to study the brain activit ...

A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation

Sylvain Cardin, Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier

Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...

Immunological lessons from genome-wide association studies of infections

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Alessandro Borghesi

Over the past few years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been increasingly applied to identify host genetic factors influencing clinical and laboratory traits related to immunity and infection, and to understand the interplay between the host a ...

A wearable electrochemical sensing system for non-invasive monitoring of lithium drug in bipolar disorder

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo

Lithium represents the main drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) as it acts as a mood stabilizer. However, because of its narrow therapeutic window, psychiatric patients are obliged to frequent tests in hospital to control their lithium blood co ...

Novel probes for the non-invasive bioluminescence imaging of mitochondrial membrane potential and dipeptidylpeptidase-4 activity in living animals

Arkadiy Bazhin

Current thesis summarizes the work on development of novel bioluminescent probes for measurement of activity of dipeptidylpep-tidase-4 (DPP-4) and for quantification of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). DPP-4 enzyme plays critical role in develop-men ...

Perception of visual illusions is intact in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Fred Mast

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception because performance levels in many visual tasks correlate only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. However, one may expect common visual factors for individuals ...

Glucocorticoid deficiency causes transcriptional and post-transcriptional reprogramming of glutamine metabolism

Benjamin Dieter Weger, Meltem Weger

Background: Deficient glucocorticoid biosynthesis leading to adrenal insufficiency is life-threatening and is associated with significant co-morbidities. The affected pathways underlying the pathophysiology of co-morbidities due to glucocorticoid deficienc ...

Is the perception of illusions abnormal in schizophrenia?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Fred Mast

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception, i.e., performance in visual tasks correlates only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. One may expect common visual factors for individuals suffering from pathol ...

Brain-Computer Interface meets ROS: A robotic approach to mentally drive telepresence robots

Luca Tonin, Andrea Cimolato

This paper shows and evaluates a novel approach to integrate a non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) with the Robot Operating System (ROS) to mentally drive a telepresence robot. Controlling a mobile device by using human brain signals might improve ...
