Objective. Several studies have reported that people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) perform poorly on tests of ‘Theory of Mind’ (ToM), suggesting impairment in the ability to understand and infer other people’s thoughts and feelings. However, few studies have sought to separate the processes involved in social reasoning from those involved in managing the inhibitory demands on these tests. In this study, we investigated the contribution of inhibition to ToM performance in PD. Methods. 18 PD patients and 22 age-matched healthy controls performed a ToM test that separates the ability to infer someone else’s perspective from the ability to inhibit one’s own. Participants also completed a batter…
Syndrome démentiel du sujet âgé lié à un traitement par acide valproïque : à propos d’un cas
2008
In addition to the usual adverse effects, the chronic use of the valproic acid can entail dementia syndrome. We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman who had presented a dementia syndrome due to the use of valproic acid for one year. This drug was prescribed in order to prevent a potential convulsive crisis after an ischemic stroke in a patient who did not have a history of epilepsy. This case shows that each clinician must be careful about all medications consumed by the patient in the face of cognitive disorders.
The Effectiveness of Vitamin E Treatment in Alzheimer’s Disease
2019
Vitamin E was proposed as treatment for Alzheimer’s disease many years ago. However, the effectiveness of the drug is not clear. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and neuroprotector and it has anti-inflammatory and hypocholesterolemic properties, driving to its importance for brain health. Moreover, the levels of vitamin E in Alzheimer’s disease patients are lower than in non-demented controls. Thus, vitamin E could be a good candidate to have beneficial effects against Alzheimer’s. However, evidence is consistent with a limited effectiveness of vitamin E in slowing progression of dementia; the information is mixed and inconclusive. The question is why does vitamin E fail to tre…

Les dépenses publiques pour l'enseignement universitaire et le taux de rendement fiscal : le cas de la France
1991
Public expenditures for higher education and fiscal rate of return : the french case Social and private rates of return of education are today well known analytical tools. But the fiscal rate of retum estimate is less common. It assumes that the State, as economie agent, would like to know whether the public finance of education is generating in the future additionnai fiscal revenues worth the initial subsidy provided. From a more political decision making point of view, the State may also be willing to know whether certain changes in education finance (more or less public intervention) will imply consequences concerning public revenues. The present article provides empirical estimates on r…
Dispersal of larval and juvenile seabream: Implications for Mediterranean marine protected areas
2015
International audience; In the marine context, information about dispersal is essential for the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with the potential contribution of dispersal in later life stages relatively minimal.Using otolith chemistry analyses, we estimate dispersal patterns across a spatial scale of approximately 180 km at both propagule (i.e. eggs and larvae) and juvenile (i.e. between settlement and recruitment) stages of a Mediterranean coastal fishery species, the two-banded seabream Diplodus vulgaris. We detected three major natal sources …
Que valent vraiment les diplômes universitaires sur le marché du travail ?
2006
Le débat autour du CPE a relancé durablement l'inquiétude des jeunes quant à leur investissement dans l'éducation. La réalité socio-économique va-t-elle les orienter désormais vers des diplômes professionnalisant et les détourner des formations choisies par « goût » ?
Comment les étudiants pourraient réagir face à une hausse du coût de leurs études ?
2014
La théorie économique traditionnelle suppose que les étudiants décident de leurs études en fonction des coûts et des bénéfices anticipés de leur investissement scolaire. L'objectif de notre communication, basée essentiellement sur une recherche empirique, est de s'interroger sur l'information dont disposent les étudiants sur le rendement de leurs études en fonction notamment de leurs caractéristiques scolaires et socioéconomiques, puis leur réaction face à une hausse du coût de leur scolarité. A partir d'une enquête sur 400 étudiants en sciences humaines et sociales d'une université française, nous proposons dans un premier temps d'estimer la rentabilité qu'ils attribuent à leur projet scol…
