History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Intellectual and cognitive dysfunctions in children who present psychotic-like experiences and other antecedents of schizophrenia
Publication year: 2009

http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjournals.org/content/35/suppl_1/1.full.pdf+html
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We have proposed that children who present psychotic-like experiences as part of a triad of antecedents of schizophrenia (including also a speech and/or motor developmental delay or abnormality, and a social, emotional, or behavioural problem) may experience elevated risk for the development of schizophrenia (Laurens et al. 2007). While only longitudinal follow-up will establish the degree to which the triad of antecedents predicts later schizophrenia, the present study examined whether children experiencing the triad also present intellectual and cognitive deficits that characterise first-episode patients with schizophrenia and ‘‘high-risk’’ (prodromal) youth. Questionnaire data from 5 158 children aged 9–12 years and 1 133 of their primary caregivers demonstrated that 9% of children (12% of boys, 6% of girls) present the triad of antecedents. Fifty-eight children (21 presenting the antecedent triad and 37 control children without the antecedents) subsequently completed standardised assessments of IQ (WASI), scholastic achievement (reading, spelling, numerical operations; WIAT), memory (verbal, visual, and working memory; WRAML2) and executive function (verbal fluency, and inhibition; D-KEFS). Children presenting the antecedent triad experienced
moderate deficits in cognitive function (mean effect size -0.65, range -0.56 to -0.77) relative to control children, with significant performance decrements observed in all domains (excepting a non-significant trend in visual memory performance). Children who present antecedents of schizophrenia demonstrate moderate intellectual and cognitive impairments that are comparable to those observed in prodromal youth (mean effect size ;0.8), but less marked than deficits apparent in first-episode patients (mean effect sizes;1.1–1.8). Children experiencing the antecedents of schizophrenia might represent a ‘‘high-risk’’ population who may benefit
from preventive interventions for schizophrenia. Acknowledgements: NIHR Career Development Fellowship, NARSAD Young Investigator Award, BMA Margaret Temple Award, BIAL Foundation.

High motion coherence thresholds in children with autism
Publication year: 2002

URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11902604
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND: We assessed motion processing in a group of high functioning children with autism and a group of typically developing children, using a coherent motion detection task.
METHOD: Twenty-five children with autism (mean age 11 years, 8 months) and 22 typically developing children matched for non-verbal mental ability and chronological age were required to detect the direction of moving dots in a random dot kinematogram.
RESULTS: The group of children with autism showed significantly higher motion coherence thresholds than the typically developing children (i.e., they showed an impaired ability to detect coherent motion).
CONCLUSIONS: This finding suggests that some individuals with autism may show impairments in low-level visual processing--specifically in the magnocellular visual pathway. The findings are discussed in terms of implications for higher-level cognitive theories of autism, and the suggestion is made that more work needs to be carried out to further investigate low-level visual processing in autism.

Title:
Cognitive and brain reserve for mind-body therapeutic approaches in multiple sclerosis: a review
Publication year: 2014

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Purpose:
Cognitive impairment is one of the most disabling symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting a large proportion of patients and having a severe impact on their quality of life. Nevertheless, there exists a large variability in the neuropsychological profiles of MS patients and some of them appear to withstand better than others the MS-related brain pathology before showing cognitive decline. In recent years, many studies have made use of concepts such as cognitive reserve and brain reserve to take account of the inter-individual discrepancy between cognitive impairment and MS pathology. Critically, these studies have left open the fundamental issue of the clinical implications of this research for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in MS.
Methods and Results:
We provide an updated and extensive overview of the studies that have explored cognitive and brain reserve in MS and discuss their implications for non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies aimed at potentiating patients' reserve. In particular, the possible utility of integrated approaches based on mind-body techniques such as mindfulness-meditation is considered.
Conclusions: We conclude that these techniques represent challenging mental enriching activities that may help cultivating cognitive reserve and more systematic research on their efficacy to protect against cognitive degradation in MS is encouraged.
