The Neuroeducation perspective and individual learning specificities. A study
2022
Il secondo dei 7 principi enucleati nella Charte de la LIEN, esito del primo convegno della Ligue Internationale de l’Éducation Nouvelle, svoltosi a Calais nel 1921, esplicita che “L’educazione deve rispettare l’individualità del ragazzo. Questa individualità può svilupparsi solo con una disciplina che lo conduca alla liberazione delle sue energie spirituali”. A distanza di cento anni, gli impulsi metodologici transdisciplinari offerti dalla recentissima Neurodidattica sembrano perfettamente in sintonia con tale affermazione considerando che questa si concentra proprio su una pratica educativa e formativa volta a soddisfare i bisogni intellettuali ed emotivi di bambini e ragazzi nel rispett…
Rapid changes in bodily and neural states affect learning
2018
Declarative memories consist of the past events and factual information that can be recalled. One of the most popular experimental paradigms used in studying long-term memory formation is classical conditioning. Trace conditioning is a hippocampus-dependent task where two separate sensory stimuli are presented in contingency but with a temporal gap between. In trace eyeblink conditioning a conditioned stimulus, usually a tone, is presented with a short silent period followed by an airpuff to the eye. In the beginning of the learning process the behavioral response to the airpuff is naturally a blink of an eye. After repeated trials the subject learns to shut the eyelid after perceiving the …

RNA-Binding Proteins as Epigenetic Regulators of Brain Functions and Their Involvement in Neurodegeneration.
2022
A central aspect of nervous system development and function is the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA fate, which implies time- and site-dependent translation, in response to cues originating from cell-to-cell crosstalk. Such events are fundamental for the establishment of brain cell asymmetry, as well as of long-lasting modifications of synapses (long-term potentiation: LTP), responsible for learning, memory, and higher cognitive functions. Post-transcriptional regulation is in turn dependent on RNA-binding proteins that, by recognizing and binding brief RNA sequences, base modifications, or secondary/tertiary structures, are able to control maturation, localization, stability, and tr…
Semantic processing in children with autism spectrum disorder
2021
El presente estudio analizó el procesamiento semántico de un grupo de niños con trastorno del espectro autista (n= 24), con el objetivo principal de averiguar si presentan diferencias en comparación con un grupo de niños con desarrollo típico (n = 24). Para ello, se realizó un análisis del contenido de los ítems del subtest de información del WPPSY-III, estableciendo una serie de categorías en función del tipo de demanda semántica requerida: asociación significante-significado, relación experiencial y conocimiento general. Los resultados obtenidos apoyan la idea de que los niños con autismo realizarían un procesamiento semántico de la información de la misma manera que los niños sin autismo…
Pamięć i język w kontekście dyskursywnego konstruowania śląskiej tożsamości zbiorowej na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku
2018
The aim of this paper is to answer why collective memory should be taken into account in the linguistic discursive analysis of the Silesian collective identity construction, presented in the periodical entitled "Schlesische Provinzialblätter". Starting with the historical background of the periodical and making references to cultural and sociological studies related to collective identity, the author attemptes to identify the role played by collective memory in identity-building discourses and presents methodological propositions for a linguistic depiction of this phenomenon.
L’esprit de patrimoine
2010
« Esprit objectif » (Paul Veyne), le patrimoine est de ces institutions de production de significations qui instituent une sorte de familière étrangeté, nécessaire, toujours disponible et jamais épuisée. Aujourd’hui il traverse l’art, l’architecture, l’histoire, la mémoire, la culture, la nature, met en jeu tout à la fois les droits à la mémoire, au temps, à la culture comme un devoir de gestion négociée de la nature et se concrétise dans autant de topiques qui coexistent sans forcément s’accorder. On en parcourt ici quatre : le monument, le lieu, la culture et le vivant, en suivant le fil de la pédagogie : « À quoi ça conduit ? », « comment ça agit ? » De l’examen de quelques « objets », s…
Designing a graphics processing unit accelerated petaflop capable lattice Boltzmann solver: Read aligned data layouts and asynchronous communication
2017
The lattice Boltzmann method is a well-established numerical approach for complex fluid flow simulations. Recently, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) have become available as high-performance computing resources at large scale. We report on designing and implementing a lattice Boltzmann solver for multi-GPU systems that achieves 1.79 PFLOPS performance on 16,384 GPUs. To achieve this performance, we introduce a GPU compatible version of the so-called bundle data layout and eliminate the halo sites in order to improve data access alignment. Furthermore, we make use of the possibility to overlap data transfer between the host central processing unit and the device GPU with comp…
Dopamine Related Genes Differentially Affect Declarative Long-Term Memory in Healthy Humans
2020
In humans, monetary reward can promote behavioral performance including response times, accuracy, and subsequent recognition memory. Recent studies have shown that the dopaminergic system plays an essential role here, but the link to interindividual differences remains unclear. To further investigate this issue, we focused on previously described polymorphisms of genes affecting dopaminergic neurotransmission: DAT1 40 base pair (bp), DAT1 30 bp, DRD4 48 bp, and cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CNR1). Specifically, 669 healthy humans participated in a delayed recognition memory paradigm on two consecutive days. On the first day, male vs. female faces served as cues predicting an immediate moneta…
Frammenti di biografie plurali
2022
Ritorno a Palermo dopo tredici anni trascorsi in Umbria. Anni importanti in cui ho frequentato l’università laureandomi in filosofia e conseguendo un dottorato di ricerca; indagando sui temi del disagio psichico e della crisi della presenza in De Martino; sotto la guida di Tullio Seppilli, che di De Martino era stato allievo e il cui rigore nella ricerca è stato per me un esempio indimenticabile. Scappata a diciotto anni da una terra che mi aveva schiacciata con la sua violenza. In primo luogo sul versante privato. Una gelida brutalità di cui – quando sono andata via, determinata a non tornare – non percepivo fino in fondo i risvolti sul piano politico e della limitazione degli spazi fisici…
