How to learn a conceptual space

2005

the experiments proposed in the article by steels & belpaeme (s&b) can be considered as a starting point toward a general methodology for the automatic learning of conceptual spaces.

Effets d’une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire sur l’inflammation systémique chez des adolescents obèses présentant des troubles du sommeil

2019

Objectif Evaluer chez des adolescents obeses la relation entre inflammation et SAOS et de determiner les facteurs expliquant une baisse de l’inflammation a l’issue d’une prise en charge (PEC) pluridisciplinaire de 9 mois. Methodes Vingt-trois sujets (14,6 ± 1,2 ans, IMC = 40,2 ± 6,5 kg/m2) ont participe. Le sommeil par polysomnographie, les parametres anthropometriques, la C-reactive proteine (CRP) et l’endurance cardiorespiratoire ont ete mesures en pre et post PEC. La VO2pic a ete rapportee au poids (VO2picPC ; mL/min/kg) et a la masse maigre (VO2picMM ; mL/min/kgMM). Les relations entre CRP et IMC, sexe, index de desaturation en oxygene (IDO), index de μ-eveils (IE), temps de sommeil tot…

Regressions and eye movements: Where and when

2003

Reichle et al. argue that the mechanism that determines where to fixate the eyes is controlled mostly by low-level processes. Therefore, unlike other competing models (e.g., the SWIFT model), the E-Z Reader model cannot account for “global” regressions as a result of linguistic difficulties. We argue that the model needs to be extended to account for regressive saccades.

Does a positive appraisal style work in all stressful situations and for all individuals?

2015

AbstractKalisch et al. posit that a positive appraisal style is the key to resilience. I will argue instead that the adaptiveness of a particular emotion-regulation strategy is determined by contextual factors. Hence, a positive appraisal style might not always result in positive consequences and is most likely not the only mediator of resilience.

A Process-Oriented View of Procedural Memory Can Help Better Understand Tourette’s Syndrome

2021

Tourette’s syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by repetitive movements and vocalizations, also known as tics. The phenomenology of tics and the underlying neurobiology of the disorder have suggested that the altered functioning of the procedural memory system might contribute to its etiology. However, contrary to the robust findings of impaired procedural memory in neurodevelopmental disorders of language, results from TS have been somewhat mixed. We review the previous studies in the field and note that they have reported normal, impaired, and even enhanced procedural performance. These mixed findings may be at least partially be explained by the diversity of the s…

Guanidinoacetic Acid as a Nutritional Adjuvant to Multiple Sclerosis Therapy

2022

Tackling impaired bioenergetics in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been recently recognized as an innovative approach with therapeutic potential. Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is an experimental nutrient that plays a significant role in high-energy phosphate metabolism. The preliminary trials suggest beneficial effects of supplemental GAA in MS, with GAA augments biomarkers of brain energy metabolism and improves patient-reported features of the disease. GAA can also impact other metabolic footprints of MS, including demyelination, oxidative stress, and GABA-glutamate imbalance. In this mini-review article, we summarize studies evaluating GAA effectiveness in MS, explore mechanisms of GAA action, …

Neuroethics 1995-2012. A bibliometric analysis of the guiding themes of an emerging research field

2016

International audience; In bioethics, the first decade of the twenty-first century was characterized by the emergence of interest in the ethical, legal and social aspects of neuroscience research. At the same time an ongoing extension of the topics and phenomena addressed by neuroscientists was observed alongside its rise as one of the leading disciplines in the biomedical science. One of these phenomena addressed by neuroscientists and moral psychologists was the neural processes involved in moral decision-making. Today both strands of research are often addressed under the label of neuroethics. To understand this development we recalled literature from 1995 to 2012 stored in the Mainz Neu…
