Title:
BIAL Foundation Archive
Start date: 1994
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.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

The retrosplenial complex as an integration zone between self- and map-based components of spatial navigation and declarative memory: An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Although spatial navigation and declarative memory share overlapping neural mechanisms, they have traditionally been investigated as largely non-overlapping research domains. Recent theories suggest an evolutionary continuity, proposing that systems for navigating physical and mental spaces are linked through shared transformations between self-based (egocentric) and map-based (allocentric) reference frames. Yet, the extent to which these processes rely on common substrates remains unclear. This metanalysis used Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) to quantitatively compare fMRI studies on spatial navigation (egocentric or allocentric) and declarative memory (episodic or semantic), assessing convergence across domains. Results revealed extensive overlap, particularly in the retrosplenial complex (posterior cingulate cortex/retrosplenial cortex), which was consistently activated across all four conditions, highlighting its role in integrating and transforming reference frames. Episodic memory overlapped with egocentric navigation in the occipital place area (OPA), the angular gyrus (AG) and the parahippocampal place area (PPA), and with allocentric navigation in the PPA and hippocampus, suggesting flexible recruitment rather than strict mapping. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) emerged as a domain-general hub across memory and allocentric navigation, possibly supporting the regulation of internally vs. externally driven processing. These findings support a shared, large-scale network involving medial temporal, parietal, and cingulo-retrosplenial regions. The retrosplenial complex, anatomically positioned between the hippocampus and the posterior parietal cortex, appears crucial for converting information between egocentric and allocentric coordinates across domains. Future neuroimaging research could clarify how these transformations generalize across spatial and conceptual domains, and how the default mode and salience networks support adaptive cognition.
