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:
Previous studies have revealed semantic memory impairments in patients with schizophrenia, and suggested that certain of these impairments were related to thought disorganization. One explanation offered for this is a broadening of the boundaries of semantic categories in schizophrenia. We selected 16 semantic categories, and required a sample of 41 schizophrenia patients and 43 healthy control subjects to produce one exemplar from each category. The typicality of the subjects’ responses was rated. The exemplars produced by the patients were on average less typical than those produced by the healthy controls. No significant association between typicality of the response and thought disorganization was revealed in the patient sample. Affective flattening, alogia, and anhedonia were significantly and inversely associated with the typicality score, that is, higher ratings of these symptoms were associated with more typical responses. Our results suggest that a broadening of semantic category boundaries is observed in patients with schizophrenia, but is unrelated to thought disorganization. This semantic abnormality is not a feature of the patients with high ratings of certain negative symptoms.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Previous work has suggested that decrement in both processing speed and working memory span plays a role in the memory impairment observed in patients with schizophrenia. We undertook a study to examine simultaneously the effect of these two factors. A sample of 49 patients with schizophrenia and 43 healthy controls underwent a battery of verbal and visual memory tasks. Superficial and deep encoding memory measures were tallied. We conducted regression analyses on the various memory measures, using processing speed and working memory span as independent variables. In the patient group, processing speed was a significant predictor of superficial and deep memory measures in verbal and visual memory. Working memory span was an additional significant predictor of the deep memory measures only. Regression analyses involving all participants revealed that the effect of diagnosis on all the deep encoding memory measures was reduced to non-significance when processing speed was entered in the regression. Decreased processing speed is involved in verbal and visual memory deficit in patients, whether the task require superficial or deep encoding. Working memory is involved only insofar as the task requires a certain amount of effort.

Publication year: 2009

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The lifelong acquisition of cognitive skills shapes the biology of the brain. However, there are critical periods for the best use of the brain to process the acquired information. Objectives: To discuss the critical period of cognitive acquisition, the concept of cognitive reserve and the HAROLD (Hemispheric Asymmetry Reduction in Older adults) model. Methods: Seven women who learned how to read and to write after the age of 50 (ex-illiterates) and five women with 10 years of regular schooling (controls) were submitted to a language recognition test while brain activity was being recorded using magnetoencephalography. Spoken words were delivered binaurally via two plastic tubs terminating in ear inserts, and recordings were made with a whole head magnetometer consisting of 148 magnetometer coils. Results: Both groups performed similarly on the task of identifying target words. Analysis of the number of sources of activity in the left and right hemispheres revealed significant differences between the two groups, showing that ex-illiterate subjects exhibited less brain functional asymmetry during the language task. Conclusions: These results should be interpreted with caution because the groups were small. However, these findings reinforce the concept that poorly educated subjects tend to use the brain for information processing in a different way to subjects with a high educational level or who were schooled at the regular time. Finally, the recruiting of both hemispheres to tackle the language recognition test occurred to a greater degree in the ex-illiterate group where this can be interpreted as a sign of difficulty performing the task.

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).

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
We used event related potentials (ERPs) and sLORETA to determine how the management of processing cost in pronoun interpretation is affected by age (young vs. elderly) and by the presence of a cue for pragmatic inferencing. The syntactic relation between an explicit pronoun and its antecedent was manipulated, yielding two types of sentences (Type 1: syntactic (cheap) or discourse (costly) processing routes available; violation of a conversational convention vs. Type 2: exclusive availability of the discourse route; conformity to conversational conventions). For the young adults a Late Positivity and selective activation of right BA9 and BA31 emerged in type 1 sentences, indexing the effort required to compute the pragmatic inference cued by the violation of a conversational convention (use of an explicit pronoun in type 1 sentences, where a null/silent would be more likely). This effect is absent in older participants, suggesting that, in their case, the processor fails to initially capture the oddity of the explicit pronoun, which is therefore conveniently processed at the cheaper syntactic level, but rendering the identity of its original form unavailable for later pragmatic inferential processing. Thus, older participants, unlike the young, recruit different processing routes for each sentence type, as demonstrated by an N400 and selective activation of right BA18 for type 2 sentences, in which only the discourse route is available. This N400 is absent in younger participants, since the clash between the expected null pronoun and the explicit one occurring in type 1 sentences leads the processor to shift resolution to the discourse level, where the unexpected form will remain accessible to the pragmatic module.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
Aimee Morgana has been teaching the understanding and usage of spoken human language to an African gray parrot, "N’Kisi", who is now one of the most gifted language-using animals in the world. He has also
demonstrated possible telepathic abilities in a previous study. This project enabled the documentation of N'Kisi's communicative and telepathic abilities in the context of this bonded relationship, for various studies.
METHODS:
A new camera and audio set-up was acquired and installed to document N’Kisi’s speech, after testing and
trouble-shooting a range of equipment and software. New procedures for data acquisition and recording were
devised, tested, improved, and implemented, and further research protocols were refined and prepared. An ongoing program of filming was then carried out.
RESULTS:
Research in interspecies communication and documentation of the language use and telepathic abilities of
the parrot N'Kisi has continued. There have been more breakthroughs in N’Kisi’s language skills and progress in various research studies. During the project term his contextual vocabulary increased from 1025 to 1286 words. He also created original sentences with complex grammatical structure. An extensive selection was captured with our new system, along with many notable inciden ts and possible spontaneous telepathy, which we are working to transcribe and analyze.
CONCLUSIONS:
While N'Kisi’s rate of learning language has been fairly stable, possible telepathic incidence is more variable. A preparatory analysis of incidents logged the first year showed it had declined, and was not sufficiently robust at this time for more controlled studies. However, a comprehensive analysis of spontaneous incidents was
undertaken. 16 categories of potential telepathic response based on the type of stimulus were analyzed to study notable patterns. N'Kisi’s utterances were also catalogued and analyzed by linguistic and cognitive criteria.

Title:
Perception as a context for conceptual processing and language understanding
Publication year: 2010
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
In the research on language understanding, context is defined in terms of words that help to construct the meaning of the target word or passage of text. Here, it is argued that the definition of context in language understanding should be broader in order to incorporate perception as an essential component of meaning. A theory of perceptual symbol systems is provided as a framework for understanding the role of perception in solving the symbol grounding problem for higher-level cognition. Theory posits that symbolic thought acquires its meaning only through reactivation of perceptual experiences of objects or states in the world to which the though refers to. Empirical evidence supporting the theory is also reviewed.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The present study holds as major purpose to assess the impact of caregivers? child temperament perception and of child-caregiver interaction quality on institutionalized children?s physical growth and mental development. The sample was composed by forty-seven children taken in Temporary Care Centers, ages ranging from 0 to 30 months old. Four assessment moments took place: the first moment coincided with the children?s age of admission into the institution and the next moments occurred every three months. Children?s physical growth (Direção Geral de Saúde, 2002) and mental development (Bayley, 2006) were evaluated on every moment and video recordings of a structured interaction task (Baptista, Marques, Silva, Soares & Lyons-Ruth, 2008) were obtained on the institution for later assessment of caregivers´ sensibility (Ainsworth, Bell & Stayton, 1974). Infant Characteristics Questionnarie (ICQ; Pires, 1994, 1997; Martins, 2007; Carneiro et al., 2010) was used in order to assess caregivers´ child temperament perception and institutional context quality was also evaluated on all assessment moments (Silva et al., 2010). Results indicated that physical growth and mental development levels were generally below expected for children?s age. However, throughout the 9 month period, children presented significant increases on weight and head circumference, yet not on height or mental development measures. On the third assessment moment, children perceived as holding a less difficult temperament presented a significantly higher mental development when compared to children perceived has holding a more difficult temperament. No relationship was found, on every assessment moment, between caregivers´ sensibility and children´s physical growth and mental development. In what concerns institutional context quality, evaluated dimensions were associated with children´s cognitive, linguistic and motor performance. Results are discussed on the basis of the impact of care depriving institutional contexts on child´s development.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Joint attention is the ability that allows infants’ to coordinate attention with a social partner and at the same time, with a third object, where must have alternation of gaze between the social partners and the object. This skill promotes the creation of triadic interactions, emerges at about 9 months old and is generally evaluated based on two main categories: responding to joint attention (RJA) and initiating joint attention (IJA). This study focuses on a sample of institutionalized infants’, because research has emphasized the negative impact on the development of institutional care, particularly in infants’ physical, cerebral, cognitive and emotional growth. In face of, this study includes the characterization of the developmental evolution of the joint attention in institutionalized infants’ at 9 and 12 months of age, relates this with the care of the caregiver, particularly in terms of sensitivity and cooperation, and finally understand whether there is some influence of joint attention manifestation in language development at 18 months of age. The results indicate a development along the time in manifestation of infants’ responding to joint attention and initiating joint attention, as well as differences in caregivers behaviors over the time and in different interaction condition’s. It was also observed that infants’ show more initiating joint attention behaviors when cooperation of the caregivers was higher, and that the manifestation of initiating joint attention behaviors at 9 and 12 months is related with language development at 18 months. More research should be conducted to understand the impact of individual differences in the emergence of other developmental milestones in infants’.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In order to disentangle the complexity of language, Chomsky and colleagues have recently proposed to distinguish the “faculty of language in the narrow sense” (recursion mechanism) and “in the broad sense”. Here we focus on this sense of language, taking it as the embodied expression of inner states, cognitive and affective. We will illustrate, using recent findings from others and our own, that common threads can be found across domains apparently diverse such as speech, music and possibly also voice.

Topographical functional connectivity patterns exist in the congenitally, prelingually deaf
Publication year: 2016

http://www.nature.com/articles/srep29375
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Congenital deafness causes large changes in the auditory cortex structure and function, such that without early childhood cochlear-implant, profoundly deaf children do not develop intact, high-level, auditory functions. But how is auditory cortex organization affected by congenital, prelingual, and long standing deafness? Does the large-scale topographical organization of the auditory cortex develop in people deaf from birth? And is it retained despite cross-modal plasticity? We identified, using fMRI, topographic tonotopy-based functional connectivity (FC) structure in humans in the core auditory cortex, its extending tonotopic gradients in the belt and even beyond that. These regions show similar FC structure in the congenitally deaf throughout the auditory cortex, including in the language areas. The topographic FC pattern can be identified reliably in the vast majority of the deaf, at the single subject level, despite the absence of hearing-aid use and poor oral language skills. These findings suggest that large-scale tonotopic-based FC does not require sensory experience to develop, and is retained despite life-long auditory deprivation and cross-modal plasticity. Furthermore, as the topographic FC is retained to varying degrees among the deaf subjects, it may serve to predict the potential for auditory rehabilitation using cochlear implants in individual subjects.

Clinical subcategorization of minimally conscious state according to resting functional connectivity
Publication year: 2018
URL:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/hbm.24303
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) have been subcategorized in MCS plus and MCS minus, based on command-following, intelligible verbalization or intentional communication. We here aimed to better characterize the functional neuroanatomy of MCS based on this clinical subcategorization by means of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Resting state fMRI was acquired in 292 MCS patients and a seed-based analysis was conducted on a convenience sample of 10 MCS plus patients, 9 MCS minus patients and 35 healthy subjects. We investigated the left and right frontoparietal networks (FPN), auditory network, default mode network (DMN), thalamocortical connectivity and DMN between-network anticorrelations. We also employed an analysis based on regions of interest (ROI) to examine interhemispheric connectivity and investigated intergroup differences in gray/white matter volume by means of voxel-based morphometry. We found a higher connectivity in MCS plus as compared to MCS minus in the left FPN, specifically between the left dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex and left temporo-occipital fusiform cortex. No differences between patient groups were observed in the auditory network, right FPN, DMN, thalamocortical and interhemispheric connectivity, between-network anticorrelations and gray/white matter volume. Our preliminary group-level results suggest that the clinical subcategorization of MCS may involve functional connectivity differences in a language-related executive control network. MCS plus and minus patients are seemingly not differentiated by networks associated to auditory processing, perception of surroundings and internal awareness/self-mentation, nor by interhemispheric integration and structural brain damage.

Publication year: 2019

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
The recovery of patients with disorders of consciousness is a real challenge, especially at the chronic stage. After a severe brain injury, patients can regain some slight signs of consciousness, while not being able to functionally communicate. This entity is called the minimally conscious state (MCS), which has been divided into MCS- and MCS+, respectively based on the absence or presence of language-related signs of consciousness. In this series of cases we aimed to describe retrospectively the longitudinal recovery of specific language-related behaviors using neuroimaging measurement in severely brain-injured patients. Among 209 chronic MCS patients admitted to our center from 2008 to 2018, 19 were assessed at two time points by means of behavioral and neuroimaging assessments. Three of them met our inclusion criteria and were diagnosed as MCS- during their first stay and had recovered command-following when they were reassessed (i.e., MCS+). As compared to their first assessments, when the three patients were in a MCS+, they showed less hypometabolism and/or higher gray matter volume in brain regions such as the precuneus and thalamus, as well as the left caudate and temporal/angular cortices known to be involved in various aspects of semantics. According to these preliminary results, the reappearance of language-related behaviors was concomitant with the recovery of metabolism and gray matter in neural regions that have been associated with self-consciousness and language processing. Prospective studies should be conducted to deepen our understanding of the neural correlates of the recovery of language-related behaviors in chronic MCS.
