Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Julie Duqué

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...

Phonon-Driven Selective Modulation of Exciton Oscillator Strengths in Anatase TiO2Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri, Enrico Pomarico, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Gerald Auböck

The way nuclear motion affects electronic responses has become a very hot topic in materials science. Coherent acoustic phonons can dynamically modify optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties at ultrasonic frequencies, with promising applications as se ...

The FDA-approved natural product dihydroergocristine reduces the production of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta peptides

Patrick Fraering, Jianhua Liu, Jing Yu

Known gamma-secretase inhibitors or modulators display an undesirable pharmacokinetic profile and toxicity and have therefore not been successful in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease (AD). So far, no compounds from natural products have been identifi ...

Potential of Cycloaddition Reactions To Generate Cytotoxic Metal Drugs In Vitro

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sviatlana Siankevich, Benjamin Samuel Murray, Stéphanie Crot

Severe general toxicity issues blight many chemotherapeutics utilized in the treatment of cancers, resulting in the need for more selective drugs able to exert their biological activity at only the required location(s). Toward this aim, we report the devel ...

Identification of genetic determinants and pharmacological modulators of mitochondrial function

Pénélope Andreux

Increased life expectancy goes hand in hand with a higher incidence of age-related diseases that affect the nervous and metabolic systems, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. These complex diseases are a product of the com ...
