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.

Abstract/Results: RESUMO:
INTRODUÇÃO:
O processamento da informação emocional inclui o reconhecimento de emoções e a memória emocional e é parte integrante do comportamento humano. O efeito do envelhecimento saudável e da escolaridade no processamento emocional tem sido pouco estudado, apesar de ambos estarem associados a alterações morfológicas e funcionais do Sistema Nervoso Central.
OBJECTIVOS:
Com este trabalho pretende-se verificar o efeito da idade e da escolaridade no reconhecimento de emoções (faces e prosódia) e na memória emocional em indivíduos saudáveis.
METODOLOGIA:
Utilizou-se a versão portuguesa do Comprehensive Affect Testing System para o reconhecimento de emoções, enquanto que a memória emocional foi estudada através de um teste original, constituido por frases negativas, positivas e neutras.
RESULTADOS:
Foram avaliados 131 sujeitos (idade: 20 - 83 anos; escolaridade: 0 - 19 anos). A identificação das expressões faciais não foi influenciado pela idade e pela escolaridade (p>0.05). Na modalidade auditiva, foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os três grupos de idade (p<0.001) e de escolaridade (p<0.001), tendo-se registado um declínio com a idade e um aumento com a escolaridade. No que se refere à memória emocional verificou-se um efeito significativo da valência do estímulo (p=0.002), da idade (p<0.001) e da
escolaridade (p<0.001), não tendo sido no entanto verificadas interacções significativas entre estas duas variáveis e a valência (p>0.05). Verificou-se, nos três grupos de idade e escolaridade, uma maior evocação das frases com valência positiva (p<0.003). Por outro lado, a evocação de frases neutras e negativas não diferiu entre si (p>0.05).
CONCLUSÃO:
O envelhecimento e a literacia apenas parecem ter consequências ao nível do reconhecimento de emoções através da prosódia. Os resultados obtidos são corentes com uma relativa preservação da amígdala no envelhecimento saudável, fundamental para o reconhecimento de expressões faciais e para a memória emocional. Os resultados obtidos são particularmente importantes para se conhecer o efeito de patologias
associadas ao envelhecimento como o defeito cognitivo ligeiro e/ou demência no processamento emocional.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
The aims of this project were 1) to analyse emotion recognition and emotional memory in healthy subjects 2) to verify if focal and diffuse lesions of the lymbic system could affect the above functions.
METHODS:
Subjects performed a neuropsychological battery which included tests of emotion recognition (presented through facial expressions and sentence prosody) and an emotional memory test, composed of sentences with positive, neutral and negative content. Performance was compared with repeated measures ANOVA. Emotions were the within-subject factor and group (patients or healthy controls) was the between-subject factor.
RESULTS:
Healthy subjects (N=131) have enhanced memory for positive information compared to neutral and negative information both when analysed short and long term memory. This effect is independent of tested factors (age, education and gender). In what concerns emotion recognition, education positively influences the ability to recognize emotions, both by facial expressions and prosody. Contrarily, ageing negatively influences the recognition of emotional prosody.
The analysis of the clinical populations with focal or diffuse deficits on the limbic system reveals that after a unilateral Selective Amygdalo-Hipocampectomy for treatment of the epilepsy, patients (N = 35) do not show impairment on emotional processing. Subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (N = 38) and Major Depression (N = 39) significantly misunderstand neutral faces as sad, and are also impaired in the recognition of emotional prosody. Despite this impairment on emotion recognition both groups of patients have shown a pattern of emotional memory similar to healthy controls, which reveals dissociation between both processes.
CONCLUSIONS:
Enhancement of memory for positive information was independent of demographic factors and is also spared in disorders that affect the limbic system. This effect should be an essential mechanism for daily living contributing for subject’s motivation. Similarities on emotional processing between MCI and MD are a new discovery and are being interpreted with the recent highlights of the overlap of dementia and depression.

Haunted by the past: old emotions remain salient in insomnia disorder
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
Studies suggest that sleep supports persistent changes in the neuronal representation of emotional experiences such that they are remembered better and less distressful when recalled than when they were first experienced. It is conceivable that sleep fragmentation by arousals, a key characteristic of insomnia disorder, could hamper the downregulation of distress. In this study, we sought further support for the idea that insomnia disorder may involve a lasting deficiency to downregulate emotional distress. We used functional MRI in insomnia disorder (n = 27) and normal sleepers (n = 30) to identify how brain activation differs between novel and relived self-conscious emotions. We evaluated whether brain activity elicited by reliving emotional memories from the distant past resembles the activity elicited by novel emotional experiences more in insomnia disorder than in normal sleepers. Limbic areas were activated during novel shameful experiences as compared to neutral experiences in both normal sleepers and insomnia disorder. In normal sleepers, reliving of shameful experiences from the past did not elicit a limbic response. In contrast, participants with insomnia disorder recruited overlapping parts of the limbic circuit, in particular the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, during both new and relived shameful experiences. The differential activity patterns with new and old emotions in normal sleepers suggest that reactivation of the long-term memory trace does not recruit the limbic circuit. The overlap of activations in insomnia disorder is in line with the hypothesis that the disorder involves a deficiency to dissociate the limbic circuit from the emotional memory trace. Moreover, the findings provide further support for a role of the anterior cingulate cortex in insomnia.
