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.

Reviewing working memory training gains in healthy older adults: A meta-analytic review of transfer for cognitive outcomes

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
The objective of this meta-analytic review was to systematically assess the effects of working memory training on healthy older adults. We identified 552 entries, of which 27 experiments met our inclusion criteria. The final database included 1130 participants. Near- and far-transfer effects were analysed with measures of short-term memory, working memory, and reasoning. Small significant and long-lasting transfer gains were observed in working memory tasks. Effects on reasoning was very small and only marginally significant. The effects of working memory training on both near and far transfer in older adults were moderated by the type of training tasks; the adopted outcome measures; the training duration; and the total number of training hours. In this review we provide an updated review of the literature in the field by carrying out a robust multi-level meta-analysis focused exclusively on WMT in healthy older adults. Recommendations for future research are suggested.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Word learning is a lifelong skill with two facets that differ in time course and neural underpinning. Phonological configurations swift depends on the hippocampus and episodic memory. Lexicalization emerges slowly, with neocortical underpinning, and involves lexical competition. Surprisingly, no study has hitherto examined the role of the hippocampus on lexicalization, in the transition from episodic to abstract lexical representations. We run two complementary studies: one with hippocampus-resection’s patients, the other with healthy older adults (> 60 yrs). We hypothesized that the presence of schemas (rich semantics) at encoding of new words facilitates lexicalization but only in hippocampus malfunctioning. In Study 1, epileptic patients vs. control adults were tested. In Study 2, young and old adults matched in critical variables. Both studies adopted the same paradigm. Participants were exposed to spoken new words with a visual item: orthographic (new-word’s form) or semantic (a picture of a real rare item). The two facets were assessed in Days 1, 2, and 8. Lexicalization was indirectly studied with semantic categorization of real words: if the new item (e.g., daffadat) were lexicalized, recognition of base-words (e.g., daffodil) would be slower than of control words (e.g., pelican). The pattern of results was similar in both studies. Phonological configuration was less influenced by the visual context in older than young adults. In contrast, lexicalization was only affected by the visual context in older adults. Both groups showed robust lexicalization effects on Day 8 but, for older adults, only for items in the semantic context. Lexicalization is preserved along ageing and in hippocampus malfunctioning thanks to semantic information.
