High levels of childhood trauma associated with changes in hippocampal functional activity and connectivity in young adults during novelty salience

Childhood trauma (CT) has been linked to increased risk for psychosis. Moreover, CT has been linked to psychosis phenotypes such as impaired cognitive and sensory functions involved in the detection of novel sensory stimuli. Our objective was to investigat ...

Comparison of Responses to DCN vs. VCN Stimulation in a Mouse Model of the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)

Stéphanie Lacour, Florent-Valéry Coen, Nicolas Vachicouras

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is an auditory neuroprosthesis that provides hearing to deaf patients by electrically stimulating the cochlear nucleus (CN) of the brainstem. Whether such stimulation activates one or the other of the CN's two major sub ...

The shine-through paradigm and the schizophrenia spectrum: a summary

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

In the past 10 years, our laboratory has proved the shine-through paradigm to be a very sensitive endophenotype for schizophrenia. The shine-through paradigm is a visual backward masking task, where the target is a vertical vernier followed by a 25-element ...

Psychometrics of Disembodiment and Its Differential Modulation by Visuomotor and Visuotactile Mismatches

Oliver Alan Kannape, Bigna Lenggenhager

Altered states of embodiment are fundamental to the scientific understanding of bodily self consciousness. The feeling of disembodiment during everyday activities is common to clinical conditions; however, the direct study of disembodiment in experimental ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Patricia Figueiredo, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Probing Context-Dependent Modulations of Ipsilateral Premotor-Motor Connectivity in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Estelle Emeline Raffin

Objective: We employed dual-site TMS to test whether ipsilateral functional premotor-motor connectivity is altered in relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RR-MS) and is related to central fatigue. ...

P300 in the park: feasibility of online data acquisition and integration in a Mobile Brain/Body Imaging setting

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Elena Galeasso

In the last years Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) has been increasingly used to study cognition in the real world to give more ecological validity to brain imaging studies currently carried out only inside the lab. To increase portability of the setup and ...

Cortical reactive balance responses to unexpected slippages while walking: a pilot study

Silvestro Micera, Daniela De Venuto

Understanding how the human brain cortex behaves when the dynamical balance is unexpectedly challenged can be useful to enable fall prevention strategies during daily activities. In this respect, we designed and tested a novel methodological approach to ea ...

Time course of prediction errors in sequential decision making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...

Motor Attempt EEG Paradigm As a Diagnostic Tool for Disorders of Consciousness

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Serafeim Perdikis, Christoph Schneider

To investigate whether a motor attempt EEG paradigm coupled with functional electrical stimulation can detect command following and, therefore, signs of conscious awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness, we recorded nine patients admitted to ...

Upper stimulation threshold for retinal ganglion cell activation

Diego Ghezzi

Objective. The existence of an upper threshold in electrically stimulated retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is of interest because of its relevance to the development of visual prosthetic devices, which are designed to restore partial sight to blind patients. ...

Visual backward masking in siblings of schizophrenia patients: evidence for a compensation mechanism

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Patricia Figueiredo

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia. Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced EEG amplitudes. In VBM, a target stimulus is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. Here, we inves ...

Neural Correlates of Sequential Decision Making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Action Monitoring Cortical Activity Coupled to Submovements

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Numerous studies have examined neural correlates of the human brain’s action-monitoring system during experimentally segmented tasks. However, it remains unknown how such a system operates during continuous motor output when no experimental time marker is ...

Visual backward masking and the schizophrenia spectrum: EEG correlates

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously shown that visual backward masking (VBM) is a very sensitive endophenotype of schizophrenia (Chkonia et al., 2010). Importantly, not only patients but also ...

EEG paradigms as a supplemental tool to behavioral assessments of DOC

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Serafeim Perdikis, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel

Introduction Diagnosis and prediction of recovery in the acute phase of disorders of consciousness (DOC) are critical for subsequent medical decisions. However, reliable assessment remains elusive due to the inability of current validated clinical scales t ...

Electroencephalogram (EEG) Frontal Asymmetry and Error-Related Signals Are Potential Markers of Internalizing and Externalizing Behaviors in Children: A Meta-Analysis

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

Objectives: The frontal hemispheric asymmetry and error-related components, as measured by EEG, are often considered to be biological correlates or “indicators of risk” for psychopathology. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to define specific patterns of ...

Compensation of visual backward masking deficits in relatives of schizophrenia patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia reflecting the genetic underpinnings of the disease (Chkonia et al., 2010). Masking deficits are highly correlated with reduced N1 amplitudes as shown by the Global Field Power (GF ...
