Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening.
2018
Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy. Using functional MRI, we studied differences in this network between 18 musicians and 18 nonmusicians while they listened to music. Musicians possess a predictive listening advantage over nonmusicians, facilitated by strengthened coupling between produced and heard sounds through lifelong musical experience. Thus, we hypothesized that musicians would exhibit greater functional connectivity than nonmusicians as a marker of accurate online pr…
Derecho Penal y riesgo: la prueba del riesgo de reincidencia
2020
Este trabajo estudia cómo de sólida puede ser la prueba del riesgo de reincidencia hecha con herramientas estructuradas de valoración del riesgo cuando la ley exige tener en cuenta el pronóstico de reincidencia a la hora de tomar decisiones restrictivas de derechos del acusado o condenado. Se utiliza como hilo conductor del trabajo el conocido aforismo estadístico según el cual "todos los modelos son falsos, pero algunos son útiles" para examinar si las estimaciones cuantitativas de riesgo de reincidencia o de violencia, que siempre son "falsas" (inexactas) en alguna medida, son lo suficientemente buenas como para utilizarlas en derecho penal, pregunta que, a su vez, depende de cuáles sean …
Synaptic scaling generically stabilizes circuit connectivity
2011
Neural systems regulate synaptic plasticity avoiding overly strong growth or shrinkage of the connections, thereby keeping the circuit architecture operational. Accordingly, several experimental studies have shown that synaptic weights increase only in direct relation to their current value, resulting in reduced growth for stronger synapses [1]. It is, however, difficult to extract from these studies unequivocal evidence about the underlying biophysical mechanisms that control weight growth. The theoretical neurosciences have addressed this problem by exploring mechanisms for synaptic weight change that contain limiting factors to regulate growth [2]. The effectiveness of these mechanisms i…

Quantization of Poisson Lie Groups and Applications
1996
LetG be a connected Poisson-Lie group. We discuss aspects of the question of Drinfel'd:can G be quantized? and give some answers. WhenG is semisimple (a case where the answer isyes), we introduce quantizable Poisson subalgebras ofC ∞(G), related to harmonic analysis onG; they are a generalization of F.R.T. models of quantum groups, and provide new examples of quantized Poisson algebras.
Consumo episódico intensivo de alcohol en jóvenes argentinos durante la realización de la previa
2015
En España existen estudios que demuestran que prácticas como el Botellón (concentración intermitente de de jóvenes en espacios abiertos con el objetivo principal de consumir alcohol, tras adquirir previamente la bebida en establecimientos) potencian un nuevo patrón de consumo de alcohol sobre todo en población juvenil (Cortés et al., 2007, 2008, 2010). Este patrón, llamado Consumo Episódico Intensivo de Alcohol (CEIA, o también Binge drinking, Consumo Concentrado de Alcohol, etc.) se caracteriza por la ingesta de grandes cantidades de alcohol durante pocas horas (Anderson y Baumberg, 2006; Farke y Anderson, 2007), esta forma de consumo ha ido expandiéndose a otras ciudades de América Latina…
Structural changes induced by daily music listening in the recovering brain after middle cerebral artery stroke: a voxel-based morphometry study
2014
[Abstract.] Music is a highly complex and versatile stimulus for the brain that engages many temporal, frontal, parietal, cerebellar, and subcortical areas involved in auditory, cognitive, emotional, and motor processing. Regular musical activities have been shown to effectively enhance the structure and function of many brain areas, making music a potential tool also in neuro- logical rehabilitation. In our previous randomized controlled study, we found that listening to music on a daily basis can improve cognitive recovery and improve mood after an acute mid- dle cerebral artery stroke. Extending this study, a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis utilizing cost function masking was perf…
Use of a Perioperative Web-Based Exercise Program for a Patient with Barrett’s Carcinoma Scheduled for Esophagectomy
2019
A poor preoperative functional capacity increases the perioperative risk. Therefore, a web-based exercise approach has been initiated for a careful supervision and individual support of patients during their perioperative cancer therapy. Here, we present the data of a 57-year-old patient, scheduled for esophagectomy. Beside a five-week neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), the patient performed 10 weeks of a web-based prehabilitation exercise training (preconditioning) and continued the exercise program for 14 weeks after surgery. The patient performed 42 of 44 recommended training sessions in the preconditioning period in his home environment. This corresponds to a mean of 131 (±38) min of …
Are Intercultural Competences at the Center of Job-Market Demands ?
2020
International audience; This chapter introduces the theoretical framework upon which this study was based before going on to set out the methodology used and detail the main results found. It discusses results in the light of scientific literature on the issue and their managerial implications. With the internationalization of organizational structures, the development of intercultural competences was often considered a strategic benefit. Indeed, companies are sensitive to the cultural diversity of their worldwide branches and to the international competences developed by their employees. Through organizational internationalization, intercultural competences become strategic resources. Alth…
Pragmática enunciativa en lesionados de hemisferio derecho: estudio contrastivo respecto a hablantes afásicos
2011
En este trabajo presentamos los resultados del análisis pragmático de 9 conversaciones grabadas a hablantes con lesión de hemisferio derecho, contrastando dichos resultados con análisis similares de datos conversacionales de hablantes afásicos y de hablantes sin déficit, dentro de un programa de investigación que pretende realizar con estos hablantes una descripción completa de los tres niveles pragmáticos básicos (enunciativo, interactivo y textual). La metodología utilizada es de base etnometodológica, y las categorías básicas analizadas a partir de la transcripción son de dos tipos: categorías enunciativas (actos de habla proposicionales y locutivos; actos activadores de inferencias; pau…
