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.

Neuropsychological profile in the overweight population: An exploratory study of set-shifting and detail focused processing styles
Publication year: 2007
URL:
http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/abs/10.2217/14750708.4.6.821
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Biases in information processing styles, as measured by neuropsychological tasks, have been reported in the eating disorder literature. In particular, an inflexible, rigid processing style (poor set-shifting) and a bias toward detail to the exclusion of the bigger picture (weak central coherence) have been observed. This report investigates these traits in the overweight population, by comparing the neuropsychological profile of 50 normal-weight and ten overweight members of the general population. Small-to-negligible effect sizes are seen for the set-shifting tasks; however, a mixed profile with moderate-to-strong effect sizes is seen for tasks measuring detail focus. This exploratory study provides an intriguing introduction to neuropsychological profiles in the overweight population. Further exploration of these traits within the overweight/obese population is recommended.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
A total of 225 particpants were recruited into this project.
Women with current AN demonstrated poor decision making on the IGT compared to both healthy controls and recovered AN participants (p=0.05).
AN patients, but not those who were recovered from AN, showed a significantly diminished Anticipatory Skin Conductance Response (ASCR) before making high-risk choices in comparison with female controls (p=0.01).
BN patients did not show any significant differences in IGT performance or skin conductance response compared to the other groups.
In the whole group of participants, IGT performance was not correlated to current levels of depression(p=0.6) or anxiety (p=0.7). However, IGT performance showed significant moderate correlations with ASCR (p=0.01).
Data analysis (e.g. males, BN, genotype and IGT performance) and is still in progress and more articles are being planned or in preparation.
AN is relatively rare condition in men. We have collected data and planning to increase recruitment of the participants to increase the power of this study in progress.

Sustained attention deficits in rats with chronic inflammatory pain
Publication year: 2009
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304394009009835
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Attentional deficits are a common clinical manifestation in chronic pain patients. The causes for this impairment are not clear, and explanations range from distraction caused by painful feelings to pain-induced putative alterations of brain regions related to attention processing. However, none of these explanations have been experimentally tested and few studies have addressed this issue in animal models. In this study we compared sustained attention in the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT) in rats before and after chronic pain. Persistent pain was induced by intra-articular injection of Complete Freund's Adjuvant and the development of monoarthritis was accessed by sensitivity to von Frey filaments. Results showed that after the induction of persistent pain, animals presented more errors in accuracy and more omissions in the task trials. When the same animals were studied with two different doses of carprofen (5 and 10 mg/kg), the performance was not altered, despite the analgesic effect of the drug. The persistence of attentional impairment during transient analgesia suggests that distraction due to painful stimuli is not the main cause for attentional deficits and that permanent alteration of neurobiological mechanisms of attention should follow chronic pain.

Neurocognitive performance in children aged 9 – 12 years who present putative antecedents of schizophrenia
Publication year: 2010
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920996410013551
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
We previously developed a novel method of identifying children aged 9-12 years who may be at elevated risk of developing schizophrenia and the spectrum disorders because they present a triad of putative antecedents of schizophrenia (ASz). The present study aimed to determine whether ASz children also present neurocognitive deficits that are commonly observed in patients with schizophrenia.
METHODS:
Twenty-eight ASz children and 28 typically-developing (TD) children without the antecedents of schizophrenia completed a battery of neurocognitive tests assessing seven domains of function: General intelligence, scholastic achievement, verbal memory, visual memory, working memory, executive function (EF)-verbal fluency, and EF-inhibition.
RESULTS:
Relative to TD children, the ASz group showed poorer performance on all neurocognitive tests (mean Cohen's d effect size=0.52). In linear regression analyses, group status (ASz vs. TD) significantly predicted scores on the general intelligence, verbal memory, working memory, and EF-inhibition domains (p<0.05). The severity of problems on each of the individual antecedents comprising the antecedent triad did not relate strongly to performance on the neurocognitive domains.
CONCLUSIONS:
Children aged 9-12 years who present multiple antecedents of schizophrenia display poorer neurocognition than healthy peers on several domains showing pronounced deficits in schizophrenia, first-episode psychosis, and youth with prodromal symptoms. Longitudinal follow-up is necessary to determine the extent to which poorer neurocognitive performance is specific to those who develop schizophrenia.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The goal of this project was to examine whether there are discrete subtypes of highly suggestible individuals and to explore the relevance of these subtypes for the occurrence and expression of anomalous perceptual experiences. We conducted a series of studies to test predictions derived from typological models that assert that highly suggestible individuals are comprised of dissociative and imagery/fantasy subtypes who experience hypnosis and hypnotic suggestions through different mechanisms. These subtypes are also expected to report differential patterns of anomalous perceptual experiences.
Our studies provide clear, but qualified, support for the typological models and illustrate the importance of dissociation and hypnotic suggestibility for our understanding of anomalous experiences. Three studies yielded complementary evidence for a dissociative highly suggestible subtype that experienced greater spontaneous alterations in awareness and poorer cognitive control during hypnosis, and greater involuntariness during hypnotic responding and a second subtype that exhibited milder alterations in consciousness and marginally superior cognitive control during hypnosis, and strong baseline imagery. Our fourth study found that the two subtypes differed from low suggestible individuals, but not one another, in self-reported state dissociation and functional connectivity, as measured by EEG, during hypnosis. In a final study, we found that the dissociative subtype reported a greater amount and diversity of anomalous perceptual experiences. The results cumulatively provide support for proposals that there are distinct subtypes of highly suggestible individuals but also point to the importance of similarities in this population.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION:
Inconsistencies in the relationship between dissociation and hypnosis may result from heterogeneity among highly suggestible individuals, in particular the existence of distinct highly suggestible subtypes that are of relevance to models of psychopathology and the consequences of trauma. This study contrasted highly suggestible subtypes high or low in dissociation on measures of hypnotic responding, cognitive functioning, and psychopathology.
METHODS:
Twenty-one low suggestible (LS), 19 low dissociative highly suggestible (LDHS), and 11 high dissociative highly suggestible (HDHS) participants were administered hypnotic suggestibility scales and completed measures of free recall, working memory capacity, imagery, fantasy-proneness, psychopathology, and exposure to stressful life events.
RESULTS:
HDHS participants were more responsive to positive and negative hallucination suggestions and experienced greater involuntariness during hypnotic responding. They also exhibited impaired working memory capacity, elevated pathological fantasy and dissociative symptomatology, and a greater incidence of exposure to stressful life events. In contrast, LDHS participants displayed superior object visual imagery.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results provide further evidence for two highly suggestible subtypes: a dissociative subtype characterised by deficits in executive functioning and a predisposition to psychopathology, and a subtype that exhibits superior imagery and no observable deficits in functioning.

Neuropsychological profile in the overweight population: an exploratory study of set-shifting and central coherence
Publication year: 2007

http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/abs/10.2217/14750708.4.6.821
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Biases in information processing styles, as measured by neuropsychological tasks, have been reported in the eating disorder literature. In particular, an inflexible, rigid processing style (poor set-shifting) and a bias toward detail to the exclusion of the bigger picture (weak central coherence) have been observed. This report investigates these traits in the overweight population, by comparing the neuropsychological profile of 50 normal-weight and ten overweight members of the general population. Small-to-negligible effect sizes are seen for the set-shifting tasks; however, a mixed profile with moderate-to-strong effect sizes is seen for tasks measuring detail focus. This exploratory study provides an intriguing introduction to neuropsychological profiles in the overweight population. Further exploration of these traits within the overweight/obese population is recommended.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Highly suggestible individuals exhibit considerable heterogeneity. A number of models have proposed that there is a dissociative highly suggestible subtype. This project tested predictions of these models and examined whether different highly suggestible subtypes display different patterns of anomalous perceptual experiences.
The first study investigated whether there are discrete subtypes of highly suggestible participants with a latent profile analysis of spontaneous phenomenological responses during hypnosis. The analysis suggested two subtypes, an inward-attention and a dissociative subtype. The former experienced greater alterations in awareness and volition, whereas the latter experienced greater attention and more vivid imagery.
The second study examined whether the two subtypes differ in hypnotic responding and cognitive functioning. High dissociative highly suggestible (HDHS) participants were more responsive to positive and negative hallucination suggestions and experienced greater involuntariness during hypnotic responding than low dissociative highly suggestible (LDHS) participants. HDHS participants exhibited impaired working memory capacity, whereas LDHS participants displayed superior object visual imagery. The two subtypes didn’t differ in general psychopathology, but HDHS participants exhibited greater levels of pathological fantasizing.
The third study tested the prediction that a hypnotic induction would differentially impact executive attention in the different HS subtypes types. HDHS participants exhibited impaired cognitive control during hypnosis relative to the control condition, whereas low suggestible (LS) and LDHS participants displayed marginally superior cognitive control during hypnosis.
The fourth study examined the neural basis for differential levels of state dissociation among LDHS and HDHS participants. HDHS participants exhibited marginally greater state dissociation during hypnosis than the other two groups. We also evaluated the relationship between this finding and measures of electrocortical synchronization.
The fifth study examined whether the typological models can yield insights into the expression and prevalence of anomalous perceptual experiences. The HDHS participants were found to consistently report a greater incidence of anomalous experiences.
These studies indicate that there are different subtypes of highly suggestible individuals who exhibit dissimilar cognitive and phenomenological profiles.

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.

Poor decision making in male patients with anorexia nervosa
Publication year: 2012

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/erv.1154/abstract
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
Decision making is impaired in female patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), but it is unclear if the same impairment is present in male patients with AN.
METHOD:
Decision making was assessed in 48 AN individuals (19 male and 29 female patients) and 61 healthy controls (20 male and 41 female patients) using the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT).
RESULTS:
Both male and female patients with AN performed significantly worse than healthy controls on the IGT. No gender differences in IGT performance were found across groups. Male patients had higher impulsivity scores, but impulsivity had not predicted poor decision-making performance.
DISCUSSION:
Impaired decision making is present in male and female patients with AN. These data suggest that male patients with AN are very similar to female patients in decision making, and as a result, treatment approaches that seek to improve this ability should be similar in both genders.

Assessment of cognitive flexibility in anorexia nervosa - Self-report or experimental measure? A brief report

http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8364813&fulltextType=BT&fileId=S1355617711000671
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study investigated the correspondence between self-report and experimental measures of cognitive flexibility in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) and healthy controls (HCs). Ninety-four participants (45 individuals with AN and 49 HCs) completed the self-report Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) and an experimental task, the Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test. The AN group performed poorly on both measures of cognitive flexibility compared with HCs. There was no significant correlation between the CFS scores and the errors on the Brixton Test for both groups. The findings suggest there is poor correspondence between the self-report measure of cognitive flexibility and performance on the flexibility test. These two assessment tools therefore cannot be used interchangeably to assess cognitive flexibility. Flexibility is an important clinical characteristic in AN. The results suggest that self-report and behavioral measures can be complementary, but cannot be used as an alternative to one another.

Decision-making in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum: expectancy-valence in the Iowa Gambling Task
Publication year: 2012
URL:
http://acn.oxfordjournals.org/content/27/5/532.short
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) can have intelligence within the normal range, but nevertheless have deficiencies in decision-making and complex novel problem-solving. The specific nature of these problems is not yet clearly understood. The Iowa Gambling Task was used to test decision-making ability and problem-solving in 40 individuals with complete or partial ACC (full-scale intelligence quotient >80) and 26 control participants. The expectancy-valence (EV) model was applied to the trial-by-trial responses of each participant to elucidate differences in decision processes utilized by each group. The ACC group had a lower overall net gain and fewer advantageous choices than controls, but these differences were not statistically significant. Within the EV model, individuals with ACC exhibited significantly higher attention to losses, less consistency in their choice strategy, and greater frequency of switching between decks. They also showed a tendency to be more influenced by recent trials. This outcome is similar to that seen in individuals with Asperger's disorder. Taken together, these results suggest that individuals with ACC have difficulty in inferring game contingencies and forming a coherent selection strategy, implicating the corpus callosum in these decision processes.

Impaired executive functions in subjects with frequent nightmares as reflected by performance in different neuropsychological tasks
Publication year: 2012

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278262612000139
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Nightmare disorder is a prevalent parasomnia characterized by vivid and highly unpleasant dream experiences during night time sleep. The neural background of disturbed dreaming was proposed to be associated with impaired prefrontal and fronto-limbic functioning during REM sleep. We hypothesized that the impaired prefrontal and fronto-limbic functioning in subjects with frequent nightmares would be reflected at the behavioral level during waking tasks as well. 35–35 Subjects with frequent nightmares and matched controls participated in Study 1, involving an Emotional Go/NoGo, an Emotional Stroop task, and a Verbal Fluency task. Nightmare subjects exhibited longer reaction times in the Emotional Go/NoGo and Emotional Stroop tasks. Moreover, they committed more perseveration errors and showed less fluent word generation in the Verbal Fluency task. Nightmare subjects showed an overall slowing irrespective of the valence of the stimuli. While the effects of sleep quality and waking anxiety were associated to these deficits in some cases, these factors could not solely explain the difference between the two groups. In Study 2, 17 subjects with frequent nightmares and 18 controls were compared by a Color-word and an Emotional, block design Stroop task in order to avoid the slow effects of emotional interference potentially caused by previous items. Nightmare subjects were characterized by an overall slowing in the Emotional Stroop task, irrespective of the valence of the stimuli. In the Color-word Stroop task, nightmare subjects were not significantly slower in comparison with controls. Our results suggest that individuals with frequent nightmares are impaired in executive tasks involving the suppression of task-irrelevant semantic representations.

Externalizing personality and executive cognitive function: A study with a non-clinical sample
Publication year: 2012
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Externalizing is a higher-order psychopathology factor that underpins a number of the most commonly occurring mental disorders, being directly related to acting-out behaviors and poor behavioral control. A common behavioral pattern reflected in many manifestations of externalizing is an apparent failure to learn from experience, raising the possibility that externalizing may involve a deficit in executive cognitive function. To test this possibility, we examined the influence of externalizing on performance on the Halstead Category Test. Participants scoring high on the externalizing vulnerability performed significantly worse on the “Loss of Set – Conceptual” subscale than participants scoring low. This suggests that a higher externalizing vulnerability is associated with an increased difficulty at the level of abstract concept formation and poor cognitive flexibility.

Executive deficit in high externalizers
Publication year: 2012

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Externalizing is a higher-order psychopathology factor that underpins a number of the most commonly
occurring mental disorders, being directly related to acting-out behaviors and poor behavioral control. A
common behavioral pattern reflected in many manifestations of externalizing is an apparent failure to
learn from experience, raising the possibility that externalizing may involve a deficit in executive
cognitive function. To test this possibility, we examined the influence of externalizing on performance
on the Halstead Category Test. Participants scoring high on the externalizing vulnerability performed
significantly worse on the “Loss of Set – Conceptual” subscale than participants scoring low. This
suggests that a higher externalizing vulnerability is associated with an increased difficulty at the level of
abstract concept formation and poor cognitive flexibility.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
This project aimed to identify the psychophysiological markers of externalizing personality within a non-clinical population, during performance on a range of executive, emotional and social tasks. Before psychophysiological data collection, the Externalizing Inventory (ESI) was translated and adapted to the Portuguese population. The validation studies of the ESI showed good psychometric qualities, consistent with the original structure of the instrument. A sample of 426 university students was initially assessed on several measures of personality, anxiety and depression, and based on their externalizing scores (high, average and low), a sample of 58 participants was tested in a number of laboratory tasks of executive, emotional and social processing, with the co-registration of EEG/ERP. Participants scoring high and average on the externalizing vulnerability performed significantly worse on the subscale “Loss of Set – Conceptual” of the Halstead Category Test than participants scoring low, and ERP differences were also observed in executive tasks. Results from a speeded emotion categorization task (emotional vs. neutral face) showed significantly slower RTs in the angry and happy conditions for the high externalizers than low externalizers, as well as differences in early and late ERPs. The present results indicate that a higher externalizing vulnerability is associated with an increased difficulty at the level of abstract concept formation and poor cognitive flexibility. Moreover, there is evidence of an emotion specific deficit for high externalizers, as well as alterations in the error processing mechanisms, as evidenced by electrophysiological markers of such processes.

Trajectories of cognitive development during adolescence among youth at-risk for schizophrenia
Publication year: 2018
URL:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jcpp.12912
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
Among adults with schizophrenia, evidence suggests that premorbid deficits in different cognitive domains follow distinct developmental courses during childhood and adolescence. The aim of this study was to delineate trajectories of adolescent cognitive functions prospectively among different groups of youth at-risk for schizophrenia, relative to their typically developing (TD) peers.
METHOD:
Using linear mixed models adjusted for sex, ethnicity, parental occupation and practice effects, cognitive development between ages 9 and 16 years was compared for youth characterised by a triad of well-replicated developmental antecedents of schizophrenia (ASz; N = 32) and youth with a least one affected relative with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (FHx; N = 29), relative to TD youth (N = 45). Participants completed measures of IQ, scholastic achievement, memory and executive function at three time-points, separated by approximately 24-month intervals.
RESULTS:
Compared to TD youth, both ASz and FHx youth displayed stable developmental deficits in verbal working memory and inhibition/switching executive functions. ASz youth additionally presented with stable deficits in measures of vocabulary (IQ), word reading, numerical operations, and category fluency executive function, and a slower rate of growth (developmental lag) on spelling from 9 to 16 years than TD peers. Conversely, faster rates of growth relative to TD peers (developmental delay) were observed on visual and verbal memory, and on category fluency executive function (ASz youth only) and on matrix reasoning (IQ) and word reading (FHx youth only).
CONCLUSIONS:
These differential patterns of deviation from normative adolescent cognitive development among at-risk youth imply potential for cognitive rehabilitation targeting of specific cognitive deficits at different developmental phases.

Cortisol awakening response and diurnal cortisol among children at elevated risk for schizophrenia: Relationship to psychosocial stress and cognition
Publication year: 2014
URL:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306453014001061?via%3Dihub
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Abnormal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, as indexed by elevated diurnal cortisol levels and/or a blunted cortisol awakening response (CAR), has been observed among patients with first episode psychosis and associated with neurocognitive deficits in this population. However, the extent to which these features precede illness onset is unclear. The current study aimed to determine whether children who are at putatively elevated risk for psychosis because they present multiple antecedents of schizophrenia (ASz), and high-risk children with a family history of illness (FHx), are characterized by abnormal cortisol levels when compared with their typically developing (TD) peers. A further aim was to investigate the extent to which cortisol levels are associated with psychosocial stress and neurocognitive function. Thirty-three ASz children, 22 FHx children, and 40 TD children were identified at age 9-12 years using a novel community-based screening procedure or as relatives of individuals with schizophrenia. All participants were antipsychotic-naive and not currently seeking treatment for their symptoms. At age 11-14 years, participants provided salivary cortisol samples and completed psychosocial stress measures and tests of memory and executive function. Results indicated that FHx children, but not ASz children, were characterized by a blunted CAR relative to their TD peers (effect size = -0.73, p = 0.01) that was not explained by psychosocial stress exposure or by distress relating to these experiences. Neither FHx nor ASz children were characterized by elevated diurnal cortisol. Among both FHx and ASz children, more pronounced HPA axis function abnormalities (i.e., higher diurnal cortisol levels and greater blunting of the CAR) were associated with poorer performance on tests of verbal memory and executive function. These findings support the notion that at least some HPA axis abnormalities described in psychosis precede illness onset, rather than being a subsequent epiphenomenon. We speculate that the blunted CAR may constitute an early (potentially genetically mediated) marker of psychosis vulnerability, whilst elevated diurnal cortisol levels may emerge only proximally to disease onset.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The minor neurological and cognitive deficits consistently reported in psychoses may reflect the same underlying brain dysfunction. Still, even in healthy individuals minor neurological abnormalities are associated with worse cognitive function. Therefore, establishing which neurological and cognitive deficits are specific to psychosis is essential to inform the pathophysiology of this disorder. We evaluated a large epidemiological sample of patients with first episode psychosis (n = 242) and a population-based sample of healthy individuals (n = 155), as part of the AESOP study. We examined neurological soft signs using the Neurological Evaluation Scale (Buchanan and Heinrichs, 1989), and generalized and specific cognitive deficits (memory; verbal abilities; attention, concentration and mental speed; executive functions and working memory; language; visual constructual/perceptual abilities). In patients, more neurological signs across all subscales were associated with worse general cognitive function, while in controls this was only present for sensory integration and sequencing signs. Furthermore, in patients, but not in healthy individuals, more sensory integrative signs were associated with deficits in specific cognitive domains, such as memory, verbal abilities, language, visual/perceptual, executive function (p ranging <0.001-0.002); sequencing signs with language, executive function, and attention (p<0.001-0.004); and motor signs with poorer verbal abilities (p=0.001). These findings indicate the presence of specific associations between neurological and cognitive deficits in psychosis that are distinct from those of healthy individuals. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

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.

Title:
Small vessel disease and cognitive impairment: The relevance of central network connections
Publication year: 2016

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Central brain network connections greatly contribute to overall network efficiency. Here we examined whether small vessel disease (SVD) related white matter alterations in central brain network connections have a greater impact on executive functioning than alterations in non-central brain network connections. Brain networks were reconstructed from diffusion-weighted MRI scans in 72 individuals (75 ± 8 years) with cognitive impairment and SVD on MRI. The centrality of white matter connections in the network was defined using graph theory. The association between the fractional anisotropy (FA) of central versus non-central connections, executive functioning, and markers of SVD was evaluated with linear regression and mediation analysis. Lower FA in central network connections was more strongly associated with impairment in executive functioning than FA in non-central network connections (r = 0.41 vs. r = 0.27; P < 0.05). Results were consistent across varying thresholds to define the central subnetwork (>50%–10% connections). Higher SVD burden was associated with lower FA in central as well as non-central network connections. However, only central network FA mediated the relationship between white matter hyperintensity volume and executive functioning [change in regression coefficient after mediation (95% CI): -0.15 (-0.35 to -0.02)]. The mediation effect was not observed for FA alterations in non-central network connections [-0.03 (-0.19 to 0.04)]. These findings suggest that the centrality of network connections, and thus their contribution to global network efficiency, appears to be relevant for understanding the relationship between SVD and cognitive impairment.
