Haha moments : applying brain research to technology design
2018
Mood problems are very damaging and far-reaching, affecting millions of people worldwide. More attempts should have been made by design researchers to form innovative and feasible design concepts, against current technological background, to produce practical technical artifacts to solve the issue. This monograph focuses on Design Science research and its collaboration with Neuroscience to seek ways to help people with negative moods, depression in particular. Humor, exerting positive influences on both physical and mental health and impacting every aspect concerning social interactions, is worth investigating. Studies on the cognitive processing mechanism of humor appreciation provide know…

Brain. Broad Research In Artificial Intelligence And Neuroscience-To What Extent Is Free Will Actually Free? The Answer Of Neurosciences
2018
Even though at the beginning of the 1980s the results of the first neuroscience experiments made some researchers label free will as an "illusion", researches of recent years have unexpectedly changed this perspective. It is raised the issue of post-classical, post-dualistic views in which free will can no longer be regarded as an "all-or-nothing" phenomenon, and in which freedom itself is paradoxically redefined as an unconscious predetermination out of an infinite number of options. The present paper summarizes the perspectives on free will generated by the first experiments in neuroscience and aims to find an answer regarding the freedom of choice, taking into account the latest scientif…
Inteligencji wieki stare i nowe [Rec. David Adam: Ukryty geniusz. Pigułki na rozum, hakerzy mózgu i sekrety inteligencji. Kraków 2020]
2020
Książka Ukryty geniusz. Pigułki na rozum, hakerzy mózgu i sekrety inteligencji Davida Adama to pozycja wpisująca się w trend wydawniczy do publikowania książek przez znanych i cenionych historyków i popularyzatorów nauki, jak np. Niall Ferguson, Youval Noah Harari czy Bill Bryson. Autor, z wykształcenia chemik, zabiera czytelnika w podróż po historii badań ludzkiej inteligencji. W książce sporo miejsca poświęcono także serii eksperymentów, którym — na potrzeby publikacji — autor sam się poddał. Wnioski, jakie wyciągnął zarówno z przeszłości, jak i teraźniejszości, skłoniły go do stwierdzenia, że przyszłość należy do rewolucji neuronaukowej.
MALE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: INTEGRATION BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROSCIENTIFIC DATA AND THEIR USE IN FORENSIC EVALUATION FOR THE JUDGMENTS
2020
Human growth and development, starting from conception, are characterized by a progressive increase in body and organ dimensions, as well as specific functional maturity, under the influence of genetic as well as environmental and epigenetic determinants. Beyond a possible normal familial trait, increased fetal growth resulting in a large for gestational age newborn, isolated macrosomia or that associated with congenital malformation, can be attributable to both maternal metabolic and genetic pathology. Overgrowth syndromes are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by excessive tissue development often concomitant to neurodevelopmental involvement. Recently, an increased risk of f…
Red Light Optogenetics in Neuroscience
2022
Optogenetics, a field concentrating on controlling cellular functions by means of light-activated proteins, has shown tremendous potential in neuroscience. It possesses superior spatiotemporal resolution compared to the surgical, electrical, and pharmacological methods traditionally used in studying brain function. A multitude of optogenetic tools for neuroscience have been created that, for example, enable the control of action potential generation via light-activated ion channels. Other optogenetic proteins have been used in the brain, for example, to control long-term potentiation or to ablate specific subtypes of neurons. In in vivo applications, however, the majority of optogenetic too…

Analysis of structural plasticity in the adult and adolescent mouse brain. Effects of erythropoietin
2019
INTRODUCCIÓN Los organismos están sujetos diariamente a cambios que ocurren en su entorno y dentro del propio organismo. Estas entradas de información del medio externo e interno son integradas y analizadas por el organismo con el fin de dar una respuesta adecuada que asegure la supervivencia. Es crucial, por lo tanto, que el sistema responda de forma apropiada al amplio abanico de cambios y demandas que acontecen a lo largo de la vida del organismo. En este aspecto, el sistema nervioso se destaca como uno de los principales sistemas encargados de mantener el orden interno y reaccionar con cambios adaptativos a los eventos que lo rodean. Un funcionamiento aberrante del sistema da lugar a la…
Processus sensoriels cognitifs et comportementaux impliqués dans la perception des mélanges odorants alimentaires complexes chez le lapin nouveau-né …
2015
Within each breath, a large diversity of volatiles molecules of the surrounding reaches our olfactory receptors. Despite the chemical complexity of the natural environment, the organisms succeed to represent their world using relevant information carried by single odorants or mixtures. Focusing on the perception of these stimuli, we explored the processes involved in the treatment of this complex information, sometimes supported by mixtures or sub-mixtures. The treatment is based on two processes: the elemental mode, which allows extracting the odor quality of all or some of the elements, or the configural mode which allows the holistic representation of the mixture. In this doctoral thesis…
Brain Modulation by Electric Currents in Fibromyalgia: A Structured Review on Non-invasive Approach With Transcranial Electrical Stimulation
2018
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex disorder where widespread musculoskeletal pain is associated with many heterogenous symptoms ranging from affective disturbances to cognitive dysfunction and central fatigue. FMS is currently underdiagnosed and often very poorly responsive to pharmacological treatment. Pathophysiology of the disease remains still obscure even if in the last years fine structural and functional cerebral abnormalities have been identified, principally by neurophysiological and imaging studies delineating disfunctions in pain perception, processing and control systems. On such basis, recently, neurostimulation of brain areas involved in mechanism of pain processing and …
