Drug load and memory during intracarotid amobarbital procedure in epilepsy
2021
Background Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) have been related to poor cognitive function, but their relationship with intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) results remains unclear. Aims of the study To elucidate whether the number and drug load of ASMs are associated with memory scores of the IAP and the neuropsychological assessment. Methods Fifty-nine adult patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (mean age = 36.1, SD = 11.6) underwent bilateral IAP (with drawings and words as memory items) and a neuropsychological assessment to assess the risk of post-surgical memory decline. Total ASM drug load was calculated by summing the daily dose/defined daily dose ratio of every ASM of each patient…

A combined electrophysiological and morphological examination of episodic memory decline in amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
2013
Early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are characterized by neuropathological changes within the medial temporal lobe cortex (MTLC), which lead to characteristic impairments in episodic memory, i.e., amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Here, we tested the neural correlates of this memory impairment using event-related potentials (ERPs) and voxel-based morphometry. Twenty-four participants were instructed to encode lists of words and were tested in a yes/no recognition memory task. The dual-process model of recognition memory dissociates between acontextual familiarity and recollection of contextual details. The early frontal ERP old/new-effect, which is thought to represent a neura…
Cannabinoid and nitric oxide signaling interplay in the modulation of hippocampal hyperexcitability: study on electrophysiological and behavioral mod…
2015
A growing bulk of evidence suggests that cannabinoid system plays a pivotal role in the control of hyperexcitability phenomena. Notwithstanding, the anticonvulsant action of cannabinoids has not been fully addressed, in particular the involvement of potential cellular neuromodulators, for instance nitric oxide. In the current study, we focused on two distinct rat models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the Maximal Dentate Activation and the pilocarpine-induced acute seizures, providing both electrophysiological and behavioral data on cannabinoid and nitrergic system interplay. We evaluated the antiepileptic effects of WIN 55,212-2, (R)-(+)-[2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-3-(4- morpholinylmethyl) pyrrolo[1,…

ANALISI DELLE SERIE TEMPORALI DI DATI PROVENIENTI DALLA RETE DI STAZIONI PERMANENTI DELL’UNIPA
2010
La sperimentazione è stata finalizzata all’analisi dei dati acquisiti dalle stazioni permanenti durante l’arco temporale compreso tra la GPS weeks 1490-1542 e corrispondente al periodo tra Luglio 2008 e Luglio 2009. L’analisi di serie temporali di coordinate provenienti da stazioni GNSS risulta un utile strumento da applicarsi, con diverse finalità, sia a monte che a valle del processo di trattamento dei dati misurati. L’analisi di serie temporali trova la sua principale applicazione, in ambito geodetico, nell’analisi delle deformazioni e nella definizione del datum, che, nella più moderna accezione è espresso a quattro dimensioni e considera anche la coordinata temporale. La SP di Alcamo n…
Counter-Clock World: How Planning Backwards Helps in Moving Forward in Collapsing Environments
2021
Research on corporate decline and turnarounds as well as the strategic use of history have so far remained two separate research fields. We integrate these two fields with a thought experiment, proposing ways in which strategists can work with, and through time in managing and turning around declines. Our thought experiment involves two very different types of analogies: a textual one from Philip K. Dick’s science fiction novels, on the one hand, and a visual one from Einsteinian relativity science, on the other hand. Inspired and informed by these different conceptualizations of the past and time, we develop four forms of backward strategizing to successfully manage a struggling corporatio…
«L’antico come principio di nuova architettura». Il tempo perenne delle opere e dei progetti
2022
Nonostante la raccolta degli scritti e dei progetti di Angelo Torricelli copra un arco temporale di oltre trent’anni (dal 1990 al 2021) essa costituisce una straordinaria narrazione coerente e coesa nella quale si ha chiara la sensazione di come l’oggetto della riflessione sia la connaturata dimensione sincronica dell’architettura tesa a essere, inevitabilmente, espressione di valori atemporali. Non a caso i titoli dei testi di Torricelli, ad iniziare da ciò che ne costituisce la sintesi suprema, l’espressione metonimica per eccellenza — "Il momento presente del passato" — tendono ad essere quasi dei voluti emblematici ossimori. Nella lettura interpretativa dell’antico in architettura propo…
Anthropocène, Sémiotique et Droit de l’Environnement. La remise en cause juridique des non-humains
2023
The Anthropocene is not a time of a crisis of nature, but a time of an epistemic one. That stimulates the semiotics of culture to take up the project of an archaeology of knowledge. In this article, we give some indications of how to deal with this in the discourse of environmental law. We will focus on the turning point of the 1960s and 1970s, which is very significant for environmental law. Based on a corpus including French national law, international law and European regulations, we will start by proposing a semiotic genealogy of natural spaces ; then, we will show how it leads to the reformulation of legal temporalities ; finally, we will end by evoking its repercussions on the actoria…
The impact of a concurrent motor task on auditory and visual temporal discrimination tasks
2016
Previous studies have shown the presence of an interference effect on temporal perception when participants are required to simultaneously execute a nontemporal task. Such interference likely has an attentional source. In the present work, a temporal discrimination task was performed alone or together with a self-paced finger-tapping task used as concurrent, nontemporal task. Temporal durations were presented in either the visual or the auditory modality, and two standard durations (500 and 1, 500 ms) were used. For each experimental condition, the participant’s threshold was estimated and analyzed. The mean Weber fraction was higher in the visual than in the auditory modality, but only for…
