ASYMMETRY OF SELECTIVE ATTENTION IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS AND PATIENTS WITH CERVICAL FOCAL DYSTONIA
The environment continuously provides a wealth of information through our senses. This poses a major challenge to our brains to effectively process the relevant pieces of information over space and time, involving attentional processes. Attention selects, modulates and sustains focus on information most relevant for behaviour going beyond our limited capacity to process competing options. Voluntary allocation of attention to features, objects, or regions in space is controlled by top-down mechanisms. On the other hand, salient stimuli can automatically attract attention, even though the subject does not have intentions to attend to these stimuli. A key question is how attention is shaped by…
Dynamic aphasia and the generation of language
2004
Severely reduced propositional speech in the context of intact nominal language skills (i.e., repetition, naming, comprehension, and reading) is the hallmark of dynamic aphasia (Luria, 1970). Recent evidence suggests there may be different types of dynamic aphasia as some patients do not produce any response on verbal generation tasks, whilst others are able to perform normally on verbal genera- tion tasks. For example, Robinson and colleagues (Robinson, Blair, & Cipolotti, 1998; Robinson, Shallice, & Cipolotti, 2004) reported two dynamic aphasics who failed to produce a verbal response when many verbal response options were activated by a stimulus, but not when a dominant response was avai…
Relationship between speech perception and production skills and morphosyntactic development in Spanish-speaking children with Speech Sound Disorders
2021
La investigación sobre el desarrollo gramatical y su posible relación con los déficits de procesamiento de habla en niños con Trastorno Fonológico (TF) es escasa, especialmente para la lengua española. El objetivo es analizar la influencia de las habilidades de percepción y producción de habla en el desarrollo morfosintáctico de los niños con TF sin Trastorno del Lenguaje (TL). Participaron 52 niños de habla española de 4 a 6 años: 26 con TF y 26 con desarrollo típico (DT) emparejados en edad cronológica, cociente de inteligencia no verbal y nivel de vocabulario receptivo. El desarrollo morfosintáctico se evaluó con el test de lenguaje CELF-Preschool-2-Spanish. Los niños realizaron una tare…
A failure of high level verbal response selection in progressive dynamic aphasia.
2005
Different theoretical interpretations have been offered in order to account for a specific language impairment termed dynamic aphasia. We report a patient (CH) who presented with a dynamic aphasia in the context of nonfluent progressive aphasia. CH had the hallmark of reduced spontaneous speech in the context of preserved naming, reading, and single word repetition and comprehension. Articulatory and grammatical difficulties were also present. CH had a very severe verbal generation impairment despite being able to describe pictorial scenes and action sequences well. In the experimental investigations CH was severely impaired in word, phrase, and sentence generation tasks when many competing…
Il Cyberstalking
2015
Il Cyberstalking è una forma diffusa di molestia effettuata tramite l'utilizzo delle nuove tecnologie, come e-mail, chat e social network. Si stima che tra il 2-13% e l'8-32% delle donne negli Stati Uniti è vittima di cyberstalking. Il crescente interesse per questo nuovo crimine informatico è testimoniato dal recente adeguamento del sistema legislativo italiano (art. 612-bis del Codice Penale). Le azioni dei cyberstalker potrebbero essere mosse dal desiderio di vendetta, da un'ossessione d'amore o dalla ricerca di intimità.

An investigation of the neural circuits underlying reaching and reach-to-grasp movements: from planning to execution
2014
Experimental evidence suggests the existence of a sophisticated brain circuit specifically dedicated to reach-to-grasp planning and execution, both in human and non-human primates (Castiello, 2005). Studies accomplished by means of neuroimaging techniques suggest the hypothesis of a dichotomy between a "reach-to-grasp" circuit, involving the anterior intraparietal area, the dorsal and ventral premotor cortices (PMd and PMv - Castiello and Begliomini, 2008; Filimon, 2010) and a "reaching" circuit involving the medial intraparietal area and the superior parieto-occipital cortex (Culham et al., 2006). However, the time course characterizing the involvement of these regions during the planning …
