Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Using the opportunity to record parahippocampal activity with foramen ovale electrodes in epilepsy patients we examined high-frequency activity and its relation to NREM sleep-slow oscillations and sleep spindles. Parahippocampal high-frequency activity was organized into bursts which were consistently associated with interictal epileptic spikes. Ripple density was higher during Non-REM than REM sleep (p<0.001). Ripple activity distinctly decreased time-locked to slow oscillation negative half-waves in the three patients without temporal structural alterations (p<0.001), whereas in the four patients with severe mesiotemporal structural alterations this coupling was obscure. Generally, in the patients ripple activity was increased before spindle peaks and distinctly decreased after the peak (p<0.001). Coordinated occurrence of hippocampal ripples, sleep spindles and slow oscillations have already been reported in animals yet the present results provide first evidence for such a temporal coupling in humans. Our findings are consistent with the notion of a hippocampo-to-neocortical information transfer during sleep that is linked to coordinate ripple and spindle activity, and that in the intact temporal lobe is synchronized to cortical slow oscillations.

Temporal coupling of parahippocampal ripples, sleep spindles and slow oscillations in humans
Publication year: 2007

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17615093
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ripples are high-frequency oscillation bursts in the mammalian hippocampus mainly present during Non-REM sleep. In rodents they occur in association with sharp waves and are grouped by the cortical slow oscillation such that, in parallel with sleep spindles, ripple activity is suppressed during the hyperpolarized down-state and enhanced during the depolarized up-state. The temporal coupling between slow oscillations, spindles and ripples has been suggested to serve a hippocampo-neocortical dialogue underlying memory consolidation during sleep. Here, we examined whether a similar coupling exists between these oscillatory phenomena in humans. In sleep recordings from seven epileptic patients, scalp-recorded slow oscillations and spindles as well as parahippocampal ripples recorded from foramen ovale electrodes were identified by automatic algorithms. Additionally, ripple and spindle root mean square activity was determined for relevant frequency bands. Ripple density was higher during Non-REM than REM sleep (P < 0.001). Ripple activity distinctly decreased time-locked to slow oscillation negative half-waves in the three patients without temporal structural alterations (P < 0.001), whereas in the four patients with severe mesiotemporal structural alterations this coupling was obscure. Generally, in the patients ripple activity was increased before spindle peaks and distinctly decreased after the peak (P < 0.001). Ripples were consistently associated with interictal spikes suggesting that spike-ripple complexes represent an epileptic transformation of sharp wave-ripple complexes in the epileptic hippocampus. Our findings are consistent with the notion of a hippocampo-to-neocortical information transfer during sleep that is linked to coordinate ripple and spindle activity, and that in the intact temporal lobe is synchronized to cortical slow oscillations.

Twenty-four hours retention of visuospatial memory correlates with the number of parietal sleep spindles
Publication year: 2006
URL:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16714084
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Recent evidence suggests that the sleep-dependent consolidation of declarative memories relies on the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) rather than the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep. Moreover, a few studies both at the cellular and the behavioural levels have suggested the involvement of sleep spindles, the most synchronous oscillatory waveforms during NREM sleep stage 2, in this process. Our previous study showed that overnight verbal memory retention correlates with the total number of sleep spindles in left frontocentral areas, while spindling in other regions did not correlate with mnemonic retention. In the present study, we show that retention of visuospatial memories over a 24-h period correlates with the total number of sleep spindles detected over parietal regions during the intervening night-time sleep. This result provides further evidence for the association between sleep spindle activity and declarative memory consolidation, and suggests that visuospatial and verbal memory retention differ in the topographic distribution of the NREM spindle activity with which they are associated.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ripples are high-frequency oscillation bursts in the mammalian hippocampus mainly present during NREM sleep. In rodents they occur in association with sharp waves and are known to be grouped by the cortical slow oscillation such that their occurrence is maximal during the surface positive, up states. Ripples were also shown to be temporally linked to sleep spindles. Importantly, coordinated spindleripple events have been suggested to provide a framework for information transfer between the hippocampus and the neocortex underlying memory consolidation. Our aim was to examine whether ripples recorded via parahippocampal electrocorticography are also temporally linked with slow oscillations and sleep spindles in epileptic
humans. Whole-night recordings from seven epilepsy patients implanted with foramen ovale (FO) electrodes were analysed. Negative half waves of the slow oscillation and sleep spindles recorded on the scalp as well as ripples in FO recordings were detected by an automatic algorithm. Ripple activity was also measured as root mean square (RMS) of the 80–140 Hz activity. Compared to baseline both ripple measures showed a significant increase time-locked to sleep spindles. In the three patients without temporal structural alterations ripple activity decreased time-locked to slow oscillation negative half waves. In the four other patients exhibiting hippocampal sclerosis, modulation of ripple activity by the negative half waves was much less clear. Ripples significantly increased during NREM sleep and were consistently associated with interictal epileptic spikes. This suggests that ripple/spike complexes represent an epileptic exaggeration of ripple/sharp wave complexes in the human epileptic hippocampus. Whether ripples are epileptically transformed or not, the present data provide first evidence for a temporal coupling between hippocampal ripples and neocortical spindles in humans.

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.

Dissociating the neural correlates of verbal and visual episodic memory in normal subjects and in patients with medial temporal lobe pathology
Publication year: 2005

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Substantial evidence supports the involvement of the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) in episodic memory. Although differential roles have been attributed to left and right MTL in mediating verbal and visual memory, few studies have directly shown a clear material-specific dissociation. This issue becomes particularly relevant in the pre-operative evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS). Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare the neural correlates of verbal and visual episodic memory during both encoding and recognition tasks, in a group of normal subjects and in TLE patients with unilateral right and left HS. Abstract words and line drawings designed so as to separate the verbal and visual components of the material were used [Jones-Gotman, 1997]. Statistical analysis for the control group shows a left-lateralized pattern of activation, including the left anterior hippocampus and the left parahippocampus, for the verbal material. Activity during visual encoding was largely bilateral and included the right posterior hippocampus and both parahippocampi. Results in patients suggest greater MTL activity on the side contralateral to the lesion. These results are consistent with data from neuropsychological tests using the same material. The relative unimpairment of right TLE patients on the visual memory task could be explained by the posterior location of right hippocampal activation relative to the more anterior lesion site. This is in contrast with the impairment of left TLE patients on the verbal memory task, which involves the anterior portion of the left hippocampus. In conclusion, this study supports material-dependent regional dissociations of MTL function which may help explain neuropsychological findings in patients with MTL damage.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Animal telepathy experiments with rabbits previously realized have shown maintenance of the erythrocyte
integrity and a bradycardia effect followed by a significant decrease of plasma cortisol levels [1]. A feedback control mechanism by cortisol regulate this own synthesis and in consequence its plasma level is known. The aim of this work was to verify at hippocampus the amount of cortisol binding to glucocorticoid receptors of the rabbits submitted to telepathy.
The telepathy experiments were performed in 2 couples of rabbits with simultaneously arterial plethysmography monitorization for each couple; one scared with blow on the nose and other not scared. The arterial plethysmography monitorization, lactate and cortisol plasma concentrations were determined, as well as AChE erythrocyte activity as a marker of membrane integrity. Imunohistochemical analysis of rabbit hippocampus tissue sections for glucocorticoid receptors was performed in all rabbit’s couples.
The results obtained by plethysmography were analysed by wavelet analysis in which by fast fourier transform we obtain the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF), respectively parasympathic and sympathic nervous system information [2, 3]. The telepathy experiments showed that the scare was efficient on the rabbit in which has been done besides no changes in the LF/HF ratio was observed in the respective not scared rabbit .Cortisol and lactate concentrations and AChE erythrocyte activity showed no significant differences between the scared and the not scared rabbit. The imunohistochemical analysis of rabbit hippocampus showed an increased amount of the cortisol receptor binding in the scared rabbits and no differences between the not scared rabbit and the control group.
In conclusion, besides the efficiency of the blowing as a scare, demonstrated by the differences in the LF/HF ratios and also by hippocampus cortisol binding receptor, our results don’t show evidence of telepathy between rabbits in these experimental conditions.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ripples are high-frequency oscillation bursts in the mammalian hippocampus mainly present during Non-
REM sleep. In rodents they occur in association with sharp waves and are grouped by the cortical slow oscillation such that, in parallel with sleep spindles, ripple activity is suppressed during the hyperpolarized down-state and enhanced during the depolarized up-state. The temporal coupling between these oscillations has been suggested to serve a hippocampo-neocortical dialogue underlying memory consolidation during sleep. Here we examined whether a similar coupling exists between these oscillatory phenomena in humans. We based our investigations on epilepsy patients undergoing presurgical evaluation implanted with foramen ovale electrodes. Recording with foramen ovale electrodes is a unique technique allowing parahippocampal electrocorticography in a semi-invasive way. In sleep recordings from seven epileptic patients, scalp-recorded slow oscillations and spindles as well as parahippocampal ripples recorded from foramen ovale electrodes were identified by automatic algorithms. Additionally, ripple and spindle root mean square activity was determined for relevant frequency bands. Ripple activity distinctly decreased time-locked to slow oscillation negative half-waves in the three patients without temporal structural alterations, whereas in the four patients with severe mesiotemporal structural alterations this coupling was obscure. Generally, in the patients ripple activity was increased before spindle peaks and distinctly decreased after the peak. Ripples were consistently associated with interictal spikes suggesting that spike/ripple complexes represent an epileptic transformation of sharp wave/ripple complexes in the epileptic hippocampus. Our findings are consistent with the notion of a hippocampo-to-neocortical information transfer during sleep that is linked to coordinate ripple and spindle activity, and that in the intact temporal lobe is synchronized to cortical slow oscillations.

Phase coupling between rhythmic slow activity and gamma characterizes mesiotemporal rapid-eye-movement sleep in humans
Publication year: 2009

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306452209010690
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In the human sleep literature there is much controversy regarding the existence and the characteristics of hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA). Generally the human RSA is believed to occur in short bursts of theta activity. An earlier study, however, reported mesiotemporal RSA during rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep that instead of theta fell in the delta frequency band. We conjectured that if this RSA activity is indeed a human analogue of the animal hippocampal theta then characteristics associated with the animal theta should also be reflected in the human recordings. Here our aim was to examine possible phase coupling between mesiotemporal RSA and gamma activity during REM sleep. The study relied on nine epilepsy surgery candidates implanted with foramen ovale electrodes. Positive half-waves of the 1.5–3 Hz RSA were identified by an automatic algorithm during REM sleep. High-frequency activity was assessed for 11 consecutive 20 Hz–wide frequency bands between 20 and 240 Hz. Increase in high frequency activity was phase coupled with RSA in most frequency bands and patients. Such a phase coupling closely resembles that seen between theta and gamma in rodents. We consider this commonality to be an additional reason for regarding delta rather than theta as the human analogue of RSA in animals.

Title:
Interhemispheric propagation of seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Publication year: 2009
URL:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19835273
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate interhemispheric propagation of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy seizures in patients undergoing long-term video-EEG monitoring with combined scalp and foramen ovale electrodes.
AIM OF THE STUDY:
To reveal possible interhemispheric propagation patterns in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, to improve presurgical evaluation of temporal epileptic patients.
METHODS:
Sixty-five seizures from 20 patients were analyzed. We defined two contralateral seizure propagation patterns: Type I for those seizures that spread to the contralateral foramen ovale electrodes earlier than to the contralateral scalp electrodes, and type II for the opposite.
PARTICIPANTS:
Twenty drug resistant epileptic patients were investigated in frame of their presurgical evaluation.
RESULTS:
The majority of seizures (80%) were classified as type I. Inter-foramen ovale electrode propagation time was significantly shorter for type I compared to type II seizures. Ninety percent of patients had either type I or type II seizures only. Patients with type I seizures significantly more often had mesiotemporal structural alterations evident on magnetic resonance imaging scans, and became more often seizure-free after surgery compared to patients with type II seizures whose surgical outcome was less favorable or surgery could not be indicated because of independent bilateral ictal seizure-onset.
CONCLUSIONS:
The two types of contralateral propagation patterns we are describing seem to represent two subtypes of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with different morphological and prognostic features. The predominance of type I over type II seizures together with shorter propagation times for type I seizures indicate a role of a more direct and dominant interhemispheric pathway in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Fine-tuned coupling between human parahippocampal ripples and sleep spindles
Publication year: 2011
URL:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2010.07505.x/pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Sleep-associated memory consolidation is thought to rely on coordinated information transfer between the hippocampus and neocortex brought about during slow wave sleep (SWS) by distinct local field potential oscillations. Specifically, findings in animals have led to the concept that ripples originating from hippocampus combine with spindles to provide a fine-tuned temporal frame for a persistent transfer of memory-related information to the neocortex. The present study focused on characterizing the temporal relationship between parahippocampal ripple activity (80-140 Hz) and spindles recorded from frontal, parietal and parahippocampal cortices in 12 epilepsy patients implanted with parahippocampal foramen ovale electrodes. Overall, parietal and parahippocampal spindles showed closer relationships to parahippocampal ripple activity than frontal spindles, with the latter following parietal and parahippocampal spindles at a variable delay of up to 0.5 s. On a timescale of seconds, ripple activity showed a continuous increase before the peak of parietal and parahippocampal spindles, and decreased thereafter. At a fine timescale of milliseconds, parahippocampal ripple activity was tightly phase-locked to the troughs of these spindles. The demonstration of spindle phase-locked ripple activity in humans is consistent with the idea of a temporally fine-tuned hippocampus-to-neocortex transfer of information taking place during SWS.

Time determines the neural circuit underlying associative fear learning

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ultimately associative learning is a function of the temporal features and relationships between experienced stimuli. Nevertheless how time affects the neural circuit underlying this form of learning remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we used single-trial auditory trace fear conditioning and varied the length of the interval between tone and foot-shock. Through temporary inactivation of the amygdala, medial prefrontal-cortex (mPFC), and dorsal-hippocampus in rats, we tested the hypothesis that different temporal intervals between the tone and the shock influence the neuronal structures necessary for learning. With this study we provide the first experimental evidence showing that temporarily inactivating the amygdala before training impairs auditory fear learning when there is a temporal gap between the tone and the shock. Moreover, imposing a short interval (5 s) between the two stimuli also relies on the mPFC, while learning the association across a longer interval (40 s) becomes additionally dependent on a third structure, the dorsal-hippocampus. Thus, our results suggest that increasing the interval length between tone and shock leads to the involvement of an increasing number of brain areas in order for the association between the two stimuli to be acquired normally. These findings demonstrate that the temporal relationship between events is a key factor in determining the neuronal mechanisms underlying associative fear learning.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
During trace auditory fear conditioning (tFC) rats learned to fear a previously neutral tone that is followed by shock after a brief interval. The mechanisms underlying the association between a tone and shock, that occur separate in time, remain elusive.
Several studies have implicated the hippocampus in tFC. Due to it role in spatial and episodic memory, one possibility is that this area is necessary because it links events that occur within the same spatial context. Additionally, previous studies demonstrated that tFC requires the mPFC raising the possibility that this association could be achieved by a working memory-like strategy,. However, it is possible that these two structures work in parallel enabling the animal with the capacity to resolve the same problem using two different neuronal strategies. As a prior study showed the hippocampus is involved in the tFC acquisition only when the two stimuli are separated by a longer intervals. It is possible that the involvement of one more than the other would depend on the length of the trace interval.
To test this hypothesis we performed temporary inactivation, using muscimol, of hippocampus and mPFC during training where the interval between tone a shcok was either short, 5s, or long, 40s. After the infusion all the rats where trained with a trace single tone-shock pairing using a 20s tone, followed by a trace interval (5 or 40 s) at the iend of which a 1.5mA shock of 1.5s duration was delivered. In accordance with previous findings we found that hippocampus inactivation impaired the acquisition of tFC, for the 40s but not the 5s trace interval. In contrast, the involvement of the mPFC was independent of the length of the interval as the muscimol infused animals from either 40s or 5s trace interval groups were both impaired in the acquisition of fear to the tone.
In summary, rats can learn the association between a tone and shock that are separate in time, within a single training trial. However the circuit underlying this learning changes according to the size of the interval between the two stimuli.

Higher cortisol levels are associated with smaller left hippocampal volume in first-episode psychosis

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20071148
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study investigated the relationship between cortisol secretion and hippocampal volume in first-episode psychosis and healthy controls. Hippocampal volume was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 24 first-episode psychosis patients and in 18 healthy controls, together with diurnal cortisol levels. Twelve patients received a second MRI scan at 3-month follow-up. Diurnal cortisol levels were inversely correlated with left hippocampal volume in patients, both at baseline and at follow-up, while no correlation was found in controls. Our findings suggest that smaller hippocampal volume in first-episode psychosis can partly be explained by stress-related processes in the brain, as measured by cortisol hyper-secretion.

The outcome of elderly patients with cognitive complaints but normal neuropsychological tests
Publication year: 2010

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Elderly patients may present with prominent cognitive complaints and have performances in neuropsychological tests within the normal range for the age and education, and thus do not fulfill the criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). There is insufficient evidence to support the clinical decision in these cases ("pre-MCI"). Forty-three subjects, 11 controls, 15 "pre-MCI," and 17 MCI, were followed for about three and half years with neuropsychological testing and magnetic resonance imaging including volumetric measurements of the hippocampus and amygdala. Two of the "pre-MCI" subjects suffered cognitive and functional deterioration and were diagnosed with dementia. Although the "pre-MCI" subjects as a group had no significant deterioration in neuropsychological tests, they suffered a decline in the total hippocampal volume (P=0.04) along the follow-up time. In contrast, all control subjects remained stable and had no volumetric decreases. As expected, MCI patients underwent significant deterioration in several neuropsychological tests, often progressed to Alzheimer's disease, and showed decreases both in total hippocampal and amygdalar volumes. Elderly people presenting with cognitive complaints may be in an initial phase of a degenerative disorder and should be followed clinically, even if they have normal neuropsychological tests.

Impaired spatial memory performance in a rat model of neuropathic pain is associated with reduced hippocampus-prefrontal cortex connectivity
Publication year: 2013
URL:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23392675
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Chronic pain patients commonly complain of working memory deficits, but the mechanisms and brain areas underlying this cognitive impairment remain elusive. The neuronal populations of the mPFC and dorsal CA1 (dCA1) are well known to form an interconnected neural circuit that is crucial for correct performance in spatial memory-dependent tasks. In this study, we investigated whether the functional connectivity between these two areas is affected by the onset of an animal model of peripheral neuropathic pain. To address this issue, we implanted two multichannel arrays of electrodes in the mPFC and dCA1 of rats and recorded the neuronal activity during a food-reinforced spatial working memory task in a reward-based alternate trajectory maze. Recordings were performed for 3 weeks, before and after the establishment of the spared nerve injury model of neuropathy. Our results show that the nerve lesion caused an impairment of working memory performance that is temporally associated with changes in the mPFC populational firing activity patterns when the animals navigated between decision points-when memory retention was most needed. Moreover, the activity of both recorded neuronal populations after the nerve injury increased their phase locking with respect to hippocampal theta rhythm. Finally, our data revealed that chronic pain reduces the overall amount of information flowing in the fronto-hippocampal circuit and induces the emergence of different oscillation patterns that are well correlated with the correct/incorrect performance of the animal on a trial-by-trial basis. The present results demonstrate that functional disturbances in the fronto-hippocampal connectivity are a relevant cause for pain-related working memory deficits.

Publication year: 2010

http://www.bial.com/simposio/Livro_de_Actas_8_Simposio.pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
To examine possible phase-relation between high-frequency (gamma) and rhythmic slow activity (RSA) during REM sleep in human mesiotemporal EEG recordings. To seek for analogies between the animal hippocampal theta and the human mesiotemporal RSA during REM sleep.
METHODS:
The study relied on nine epilepsy surgery candidates implanted with bilateral semi-invasive foramen ovale electrodes placed beneath the mesiotemporal surface. Positive half-waves of the 1.5–3 Hz RSA were identified by a semi-automatic algorithm during REM sleep. High-frequency activity was assessed for 11 consecutive 20 Hz–wide frequency bands between 20 and 240 Hz. To investigate time relations between RSA
oscillation and high-frequency activity the root mean square of each high-frequency band was averaged for intervals of 0.5 s around all detected RSA oscillation peaks.
RESULTS:
RSA at 1-5-3 Hz was a striking feature of most foramen ovale recordings during REM sleep. Increase in high frequency activity was phase coupled with RSA in most frequency bands and patients. The phase of the highest gamma activity increase was similar across increasing high frequency bands and typically occurred shortly (~0.1 s) before the RSA peak used as trigger. Highest level of modulation was found for the middle high frequency bands (60-80 Hz and 80-100 Hz) which gradually weakened across both decreasing and increasing high-frequency bands.
CONCLUSIONS:
Such a phase coupling closely resembles that seen between theta and gamma in rodents. We consider this commonality to be an additional reason for regarding the 1.5-3 Hz delta rather than theta as the human analogue of RSA in animals.

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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
Ultimately associative learning is a function of the temporal features and relationships between experienced stimuli. Nevertheless how time affects the neural circuit underlying this form of learning remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we used single-trial auditory trace fear conditioning and varied the length of the interval between tone and foot-shock. Through temporary inactivation of the amygdala, medial-prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and dorsal-hippocampus in rats, we tested the hypothesis that different temporal intervals between the tone and the shock influence the neuronal structures necessary for learning.
METHODS:
Rats were implanted with bilateral cannulae targeting dorsal hippocampus, lateral amygdala or mPFC, under stereotaxic surgery. Muscimol, a GABAa agonist that efficiently shuts down activity, was infused into the targeted region just prior to the trace fear conditioning session. Rats in teh control group received infusions of the vehicle solution. The next day all rats were tested for their fear of the tone in a distinct environment. Freezing was used as a measure of fear.
RESULTS:
We show for the first time that the amygdala is critically involved in the acquisition of auditory fear learning when there is a temporal gap between the tone and the shock. Moreover, imposing a short interval (5 s) between the two stimuli also recruits the medial pre-frontal cortex (mPFC), while learning the association across a longer interval (40 s) becomes additionally dependent on a third structure, the dorsal-hippocampus.
CONCLUSION:
Thus, our results show that increasing the interval length between tone and shock leads to the requirement of an increasing number of brain areas for the association between the two stimuli to be acquired.
