Cognitive epigenetic priming: leveraging histone acetylation for memory amelioration

Johannes Gräff, Allison Marie Burns

Multiple studies have found that increasing histone acetylation by means of histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) treatment can ameliorate memory and rescue cognitive impairments, but their mode of action is not fully understood. In particular, it is uncle ...

Microstructured thin-film electrode technology enables proof of concept of scalable, soft auditory brainstem implants

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras, Florian Dylan Fallegger, Christina Myra Tringides, Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron, Valentina Marie Paggi, Yohann Daniel André Thenaisie

Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) provide sound awareness to deaf individuals who are not candidates for the cochlear implant. The ABI electrode array rests on the surface of the cochlear nucleus (CN) in the brainstem and delivers multichannel electrical ...

Neurofeedback training with a low-priced EEG device leads to faster alpha enhancement but shows no effect on cognitive performance: A single-blind, sham-feedback study

Andreas Sonderegger, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues

Introduction Findings of recent studies indicate that it is possible to enhance cognitive capacities of healthy individuals by means of individual upper alpha neurofeedback training (NFT). Although these results are promising, most of this research was con ...

Facilitation of AMPA receptor synaptic delivery as a molecular mechanism for cognitive enhancement

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Erika Myrna Borcel Novoa, Lidia Alonso-Nanclares

Cell adhesion molecules and downstream growth factor-dependent signaling are critical for brain development and synaptic plasticity, and they have been linked to cognitive function in adult animals. We have previously developed a mimetic peptide (FGL) from ...

Mental imagery of self-location during spontaneous and active self-other interactions: an electrical neuroimaging study

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

Substantial data from the cognitive neurosciences point to the importance of bodily processing for the development of a comprehensive theory of the self. A key aspect of the bodily self is self-location, the experience that the self is localized at a speci ...
