La prassi delle decisioni di inammissibilità della Corte europea al vaglio del Comitato ONU dei diritti umani: rischio di un ‘cortocircuito’ fra i du…
2015
The case-overload and the backlog crisis at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) are well-known issues in Strasbourg, which risk to clog the Court’s activity to a point where they seri-ously threaten the effectiveness and expediency of the entire ECHR system. To fight these serious threats, Protocol no. 14 introduced a new filtering mechanism in order to reduce backlog while pursuing expediency. However, expediency comes at a price, precisely that of a possible loss of quality of the application process and transparency of judicial reasoning. This risk has been bluntly highlighted, in all its adverse effects, by the Human Rights Committee (HRC). In the Achabal case, the HRC found a vi…
Medici del re nella Sicilia aragonese
2013
Dall'ipocondriaco Giacomo II a Martino I, tra XIV e XV secolo la casa aragonese-siciliana si caratterizza per un legame privilegiato ed esclusivo tra medico e sovrano. Uno scenario composto in prevalenza da medici famosi dell'Italia centro-settentrionale, professori di esperienza e saggezza che sono attirati a trasferirsi nell'isola, vista la scarsità quantitativa e qualitativa dei medici locali. Interessati a inserirsi nei gangli della vita di corte, i siciliani si mostrano abili a individuare le strategie migliori per tutelare e accrescere incarichi di prestigio, visibilità, privilegi: garantiti - in cambio di una disponibilità di capitali, fondamentale in periodi di scarsa liquidità - da…
Reduction of drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors after intermittent theta burst st…
2023
AimThis study aimed to explore the effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) of the right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors but without a diagnosis of eating disorders (EDs).MethodsParticipants were randomly divided into two equivalent groups according to the side (right or left) of the hemisphere to be stimulated and they were tested before and after a single iTBS session. Outcome measurements were scores on self-report questionnaires assessing psychological dimensions related to eating behaviors (EDI-3), anxiety (STAI-Y), and tonic electrodermal activity.ResultsThe iTBS interfered with both psychological …
Discrete cortical representations and their stability in the presence of synaptic turnover
2015
Population imaging in mouse auditory cortex revealed clustering of neural responses to brief complex sounds: the activity of a local population typically falls close to one out of a small number of observed states [1]. These clusters appear to group sets of auditory stimuli into a discrete set of activity patterns and could thereby form the basis for representations of sound categories. However, to be useful for the brain, such representations should be robust against fluctuations in the underlying circuitry, which are significant even in the absences of any explicit learning paradigm [2]. Here we introduce a novel firing rate based circuit model of mouse auditory cortex to study the emerge…
Parvalbumin-containing neurons in the cerebral cortex of the lizardPodarcis hispanica: Morphology, ultrastructure, and coexistence with GABA, somatos…
1993
The morphology, fine structure, and degree of colocalization with GABA, somatostatin, and neuropeptide Y of parvalbumin-containing cells were studied with immunocytochemistry in the cerebral cortex of the lizard Podarcis hispanica. Parvalbumin-containing cells make up a morphologically heterogeneous population of spine-free neurons, displaying the morphological features of nonprincipal cells previously described in Golgi studies. Electron microscopically, parvalbumin-immunoreactive cell bodies are similar in all cortical areas and layers. The perisomatic input is moderate in number, and boutons with either round clear vesicles or flattened vesicles were observed making asymmetric or symmetr…
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…

Less Effort, Better Results: How Does Music Act on Prefrontal Cortex in Older Adults during Verbal Encoding? An fNIRS Study
2014
Several neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging revealed deficits in episodic memory abilities as a result of prefrontal cortex (PFC) limitations. Improving episodic memory performance despite PFC deficits is thus a critical issue in aging research. Listening to music stimulates cognitive performance in several non-purely musical activities (e.g., language and memory). Thus, music could represent a rich and helpful source during verbal encoding and therefore help subsequent retrieval. Furthermore, such benefit could be reflected in less demand of PFC, which is known to be crucial for encoding processes. This study aimed to investigate whether music may improve episodic memory in older adult…
