Abstract:
The human brain is composed of distributed networks that connect a disproportionately large neocortex to the brainstem, cerebellum and other subcortical structures. New methods for analyzing non-invasive imaging data have begun to reveal new insights into human brain organization. These methods permit characterization of functional interactions within and across brain networks, and allow us to appreciate points of departure between the human brain and non-human primates.<br>Psychology

Faire le bon choix, c’est trouver le bon compromis entre coût et bénéfice. Dans le cas de la gestion de l’effort physique, ce compromis prend une dimension temporelle. Pour comprendre comment la décision d’arrêter ou reprendre l’effort est prise, nous avons développé un paradigme expérimental chez le sujet humain sain et un modèle computationnel dans lequel le coût estimé augmente à l’effort car la fatigue affecte toute la commande motrice et diminue au repos quand nous récupérons. Le comportement reflète les variations de ce coût estimé et du compromis avec le bénéfice attendu. Grâce à la com

Abstract:
The study of brain nuclei in neuroimaging poses challenges owing to its small size. Many neuroimaging studies have been reported for effectively locating these nuclei and characterizing their functional connectivity with other regions of the brain. Hypothalamus, Locus Coeruleus, and Ventral Tegmental area are such nuclei found in the human brain, which are challenging to visualize owing to their size and lack of tissue contrast with surrounding regions. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) analysis on these nuclei enabled researchers to characterize their connectivity w

Abstract:
This research has advanced our understanding of how the brain controls muscle activity during walking, in healthy adults of different ages and people with Parkinson's disease. It has shown that there is direct brain control of leg muscles during the double support phase of gait in these populations. Moreover, this brain control is reduced in people with Parkinson's compared to healthy individuals, and standard anti-Parkinsonian medication does not counteract this deficiency.

Abstract:
In the behavioral sciences, the concept of phenotypic plasticity can be roughly categorized into two classes: developmental and activational plasticity. Developmental plasticity denotes the capacity of an individual carrying a specific genetic background to adopt different developmental trajectories under distinct settings. Complementarily, activational plasticity refers to the differential activation of adaptation mechanisms: an individual with high activational plasticity would be able to detect a wide range of environments, and to respond to it using a psychobiological phenotype from a rela

This study investigates the neural responses associated with changes in visual perception, as when objects are placed in their normal context versus when the object-context relationship is violate

Abstract:
This study aims to shed light on how and when mechanisms of the human brain evolved to support complex cognition and language. The field of evolutionary cognitive archaeology asserts that prehistoric technologies, as products of past cognition in action, are informative of the minimum cognitive and linguistic abilities that hominins needed to possess for their production. Previous researchers attempted to reconstruct the neural correlates of two Early Stone Age (ESA) tool industries, the 2.6 million-year-old Oldowan indust

Abstract:
Genome wide association studies have provided evidence for a significant association between ZNF804A (zinc finger protein 804A) - specifically the intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1344706 - and schizophrenia, but little is known about the function of the gene or the effects of the SNP. By studying post-mortem human brain tissue, I characterised ZNF804A immunoreactivity in adult and foetal human brain and investigated effects of diagnosis and rs1344706 genotype on ZNF804A mRNA and protein expression. Secondly, I looked in a large sample of healthy volunteers (n=922) at the effect

Associative plasticity, which involves modification of synaptic strength by coactivation of two synaptic inputs, has been demonstrated in many species. Here I explore whether it is possible to induce associative plasticity within a corticocortical pathway in the human brain using a novel protocol that activates two brain areas repeatedly with double-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The pathway between ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) which computes hand movements for precision grasp was manipulated.

Firstly, brain function was studied in a group of patients suffering from combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder, using a symptom provocation paradigm with combat sounds in order to elicit fear. Exposure to auditory trauma reminders relative to neutral sounds was associated with increased rCBF in sensorimotor areas, the cerebellar vermis,
