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 ...

Me, Myself, and I: Neural Activity for Self versus Other across Development

Solange Noémie Jeanne Denervaud, Paola Zanchi

Although adults and children differ in self-vs.-other perception, a developmental perspective on this discriminative ability at the brain level is missing. This study examined neural activation for self-vs.-other in a sample of 39 participants spanning fou ...

Data Transformation in the Processing of Neuronal Signals: A Powerful Tool to Illuminate Informative Contents

Mohammad Ali Shaeri

Neuroscientists seek efficient solutions for deciphering the sophisticated unknowns of the brain. Effective development of complicated brain-related tools is the focal point of research in neuroscience and neurotechnology. Thanks to today's technological a ...

Governance framework for autonomous and cognitive digital twins in agile supply chains

Dimitrios Kyritsis

Cognitive Digital twins (CDT) are Digital Twins with cognition capabilities and ensure a proper monitoring and optimization of a specific asset's behaviour. In the context of supply chains, there are different entities involved from assets, processes, up t ...

Brain mitochondrial diversity and network organization predict anxiety-like behavior in male mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The brain and behavior are under energetic constraints, limited by mitochondrial energy transformation capacity. However, the mitochondria-behavior relationship has not been systematically studied at a brain-wide scale. Here we examined the association bet ...

How I became myself after merging with a computer: Does human-machine symbiosis raise human rights issues?

Marcello Ienca

Novel usages of brain stimulation combined with artificially intelligent (AI) systems promise to address a large range of diseases. These new conjoined technologies, such as brain-computer interfaces (BCI), are increasingly used in experimental and clinica ...

Task matters: Individual MEG signatures from naturalistic and neurophysiological brain states

Alessandra Griffa, Enrico Amico, Ekansh Sareen

The discovery that human brain connectivity data can be used as a "fingerprint " to identify a given individual from a population, has become a burgeoning research area in the neuroscience field. Recent studies have iden-tified the possibility to extract t ...

Temporal dynamics of intranasal oxytocin in human brain electrophysiology

Patricia Figueiredo, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz

Oxytocin (OT) is a key modulator of human social cognition, popular in behavioral neuroscience. To adequately design and interpret intranasal OT (IN-OT) research, it is crucial to know for how long it affects human brain function once administered. However ...

Cultural Adaptation, Validation, and Psychometric Description of the Pictorial Empathy Test (PET) in the Spanish Population

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Research in psychology and social neuroscience distinguishes between dispositional and situational empathy for the cognitive and affective aspects of empathy. Yet, the Pictorial Empathy Test (PET) is one of the few brief tests focusing on situational affec ...

The perspectives of mapping and monitoring of the sense of self in neurosurgical patients

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Hyeongdong Park, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri, Giannina Rita Iannotti

Surgical treatment of tumors, epileptic foci or of vascular origin, requires a detailed individual pre-surgical workup and intra-operative surveillance of brain functions to minimize the risk of post-surgical neurological deficits and decline of quality of ...

Interoception and Empathy Impact Perspective Taking

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Adopting the perspective of another person is an important aspect of social cognition and has been shown to depend on multisensory signals from one's own body. Recent work suggests that interoceptive signals not only contribute to own-body perception and s ...

Predictive brain: Addressing the level of representation by reviewing perceptual hysteresis

David Pascucci

In recent years, the idea that the prediction of sensory input is one of the major computational goals of the nervous system led to the development of several large-scale theories of brain functioning, such as different versions of the Bayesian approach to ...

Temporal complexity of fMRI is reproducible and correlates with higher order cognition

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

It has been hypothesized that resting state networks (RSNs), extracted from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI), likely display unique temporal complexity fingerprints, quantified by their multiscale entropy patterns (McDonough and ...

Brain functional connectivity dynamics at rest in the aftermath of affective and cognitive challenges

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey, Julian Gaviria

Carry-over effects on brain states have been reported following emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigated such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs) in neural networks at rest wit ...

Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Kim Do, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Manuel Mercier, Pierre Progin, Wenwen Chang

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

Context effects on probability estimation

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

TbCAPs: A toolbox for co-activation pattern analysis

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Constantin Tuleasca, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Elenor Morgenroth, Farnaz Delavari, Eva Blondiaux, Baptiste Gauthier, Gwladys Rey, Lukasz Dawid Smigielski, Julian Gaviria

Functional magnetic resonance imaging provides rich spatio-temporal data of human brain activity during task and rest. Many recent efforts have focussed on characterising dynamics of brain activity. One notable instance is co-activation pattern (CAP) analy ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Early Psychosis

Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Fosco Bernasconi, Andrea Serino, Kim Do, Roy Salomon, Patric Hagmann, Giulio Rognini, Silvia Marchesotti, Pierre Progin

Dysfunction of sensorimotor predictive processing is thought to underlie abnormalities in self-monitoring producing passivity symptoms in psychosis. Experimentally induced sensorimotor conflict can produce a failure in bodily self-monitoring (presence hall ...

An Ink–and–Paper Automaton: The Conceptual Mechanization of Cognition and the Practical Automation of Reasoning in Leibniz’s De Affectibus (1679)

Simon François Dumas Primbault

On ten loose handwritten folios dating back from April 1679, Leibniz gradually devised, in the course of three days, a full-blown theory of thought that nonetheless remained unpublished and still has received little attention from scholars. Conceiving of a ...

Voice-leading Schema Recognition using Rhythm and Pitch Features

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep, Ken Jacques Alfonso Deguernel

Musical schemata constitute important structural building blocks used across historical styles and periods. They consist of two or more melodic lines that are combined to form specific successions of intervals. This paper tackles the problem of recognizing ...
