1-42 beta-Amyloid peptide requires PDK1/nPKC/Rac 1 pathway to induce neuronal death
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-01)1-42 beta-Amyloid (A beta(1-42)) peptide is a key molecule involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Some of its effects are manifested at the neuronal morphological level. These morphological changes involve ... -
A genealogical map of the concept of habit
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-21)The notion of information processing has dominated the study of the mind for over six decades. However, before the advent of cognitivism, one of the most prominent theoretical ideas was that of Habit. This is a concept ... -
Antioxidant defense system and family environment in adolescents with family history of psychosis
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-16)[EN] Our objective was to determine antioxidant defence activity in healthy controls (HC) and healthy unaffected second-degree relatives of patients with early onset psychosis (HC-FHP),and to assess its relationship with ... -
Behavioral, neurochemical and morphological changes induced by the overexpression of munc18-1a in brain of mice: relevance to schizophrenia
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-01)Overexpression of the mammalian homolog of the unc-18 gene (munc18-1) has been described in the brain of subjects with schizophrenia. Munc18-1 protein is involved in membrane fusion processes, exocytosis and neurotransmitter ... -
Cannabis use and involuntary admission may mediate long-term adherence in first-episode psychosis patients: a prospective longitudinal study
(BioMed Central, 2013-12-01)Background: This study aimed to examine factors associated with treatment adherence in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients followed up over 8 years, especially involuntary first admission and stopping cannabis use. Methods: ... -
Developmental Differences across Middle Childhood in Memory and Suggestibility for Negative and Positive Events
(Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2016)In the present study, we investigated age differences in children's eyewitness memory and suggestibility for negative and positive events that children often experience during middle childhood. We first examined 216 ratings ... -

Factors associated with chronic pain in patients with bipolar depression: a cross-sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2013-04-15)Background: While pain is frequently associated with unipolar depression, few studies have investigated the link between pain and bipolar depression. In the present study we estimated the prevalence and characteristics of ... -
Learning to perceive in the sensor motor approach: Piaget's theory of equilibration interpreted dynamically
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-30)Learning to perceive is faced with a classical paradox: if understanding is required for perception, how can we learn to perceive something new, something we do not yet understand? According to the sensorimotor approach, ... -
Modeling habits as self-sustaining patterns of sensorimotor behavior
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-08-08)In the recent history of psychology and cognitive neuroscience, the notion of habit has been reduced to a stimulus-triggered response probability correlation. In this paper we use a computational model to present an ... -
Number of prior episodes and the presence of depressive symptoms are associated with longer length of stay for patients with acute manic episodes
(BioMed Central, 2012-03-10)Background: Few studies have analyzed predictors of length of stay (LOS) in patients admitted due to acute bipolar manic episodes. The purpose of the present study was to estimate LOS and to determine the potential ... -
Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, learning capacity and cognition in patients with first episode psychosis
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Cognitive impairments are seen in first psychotic episode (FEP) patients. The neurobiological underpinnings that might underlie these changes remain unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate whether Brain ... -
Reduced antioxidant defense in early onset first-episode psychosis: a case-control study
(BioMed Cental, 2011)Background Our objective is to determine the activity of the antioxidant defense system at admission in patients with early onset first psychotic episodes compared with a control group. Methods Total antioxidant status ... -
The interactive brain hypothesis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-06)Enactive approaches foreground the role of interpersonal interaction in explanations of social understanding. This motivates, in combination with a recent interest in neuroscientific studies involving actual interactions, ...
