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.

Having a body versus moving your body: neural signatures of agency and body-ownership
Publication year: 2010

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The exact relation between the sense that one's body is one's own (body-ownership) and the sense that one controls one's own bodily actions (agency) has been the focus of much speculation, but remains unclear. On an ‘additive’ model, agency and body-ownership are strongly related; the ability to control actions is a powerful cue to body-ownership. This view implies a component common to the senses of body-ownership and agency, plus possible additional components unique to agency. An alternative ‘independence’ model holds that agency and body-ownership are qualitatively different experiences, triggered by different inputs, and recruiting distinct brain networks. We tested these two specific models by investigating the sensory and motor aspects of body-representation in the brain using fMRI. Activations in midline cortical structures were associated with a sensory-driven sense of body-ownership, and were absent in agency conditions. Activity in the pre-SMA was linked to the sense of agency, but distinct from the sense of body-ownership. No shared activations that would support the additive model were found. The results support the independence model. Body-ownership involves a psychophysiological baseline, linked to activation of the brain's default mode network. Agency is linked to premotor and parietal areas involved in generating motor intentions and subsequent action monitoring.

Publication year: 2009

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Body ownership can be easily confused with the sense of controlling ones body because agency is a powerful cue to ownership: my body feels like 'mine' in part because I can control it at will. As a result, interactions between body-ownership and agency are difficult to investigate. A first imaging study using PET reveals that the right posterior insula that has been previously linked to agency, may in fact encode body-ownership. Because agency typically involves both efferent and afferent signals, previous studies have been unable to distinguish between these alternatives. We therefore developed an fMRI paradigm to investigate multisensory and sensorimotor aspects of body representation in the brain in an attempt to disambiguate the neural signatures of agency and body-ownership. Movements of the participant's hand were either self-generated or externally-generated, and video-feedback was relayed either in real-time or with a systematic delay. Analyses showed different activations in the right parietal lobe for intersensory and sensorimotor conflicts. Activity in the SMA was linked to a sense of agency distinct from the sense of body-ownership, while activations in midline cortical structures were associated with a purely sensory-driven sense of body-ownership. The results are discussed in the light of recent neurocognitive models of self.

Title:
A computational model of fMRI activity in the intraparietal sulcus that supports visual working memory
Publication year: 2011

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A computational model was developed to explain a pattern of results of fMRI activation in the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) supporting visual working memory for multiobject scenes. The model is based on the hypothesis that dendrites of excitatory neurons are major computational elements in the cortical circuit. Dendrites enable formation of a competitive queue that exhibits a gradient of activity values for nodes encoding different objects, and this pattern is stored in working memory. In the model, brain imaging data are interpreted as a consequence of blood flow arising from dendritic processing. Computer simulations showed that the model successfully simulates data showing the involvement of inferior IPS in object individuation and spatial grouping through representation of objects' locations in space, along with the involvement of superior IPS in object identification through representation of a set of objects' features. The model exhibits a capacity limit due to the limited dynamic range for nodes and the operation of lateral inhibition among them. The capacity limit is fixed in the inferior IPS regardless of the objects' complexity, due to the normalization of lateral inhibition, and variable in the superior IPS, due to the different encoding demands for simple and complex shapes. Systematic variation in the strength of self-excitation enables an understanding of the individual differences in working memory capacity. The model offers several testable predictions regarding the neural basis of visual working memory.

Specific impairment of visual spatial covert attention mechanisms in Parkinson´s disease
Publication year: 2011
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028393210004707
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Visual deficits in early and high level processing nodes have been documented in Parkinson's disease (PD). Non-motor high level visual integration deficits in PD seem to have a cortical basis independently of a low level retinal contribution. It is however an open question whether sensory and visual attention deficits can be separated in PD. Here, we have explicitly separated visual and attentional disease related patterns of performance, by using bias free staircase procedures measuring psychophysical contrast sensitivity across visual space under covert attention conditions with distinct types of cues (valid, neutral and invalid). This further enabled the analysis of patterns of dorsal-ventral (up-down) and physiological inter-hemispheric asymmetries. We have found that under these carefully controlled covert attention conditions PD subjects show impaired psychophysical performance enhancement by valid attentional cues. Interestingly, PD patients also show paradoxically increased visual homogeneity of spatial performance profiles, suggesting flattening of high level modulation of spatial attention. Finally we have found impaired higher level attentional modulation of contrast sensitivity in the visual periphery, where mechanisms of covert attention are at higher demands. These findings demonstrate a specific loss of attentional mechanisms in PD and a pathological redistribution of spatial mechanisms of covert attention.

Publication year: 2011

https://www.bial.com/imagem/Bolsa20008_23112011.pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
When we speak, we perform intentional communicative actions, by asserting, requesting or refusing something. The origin of intentional action is debated in cognitive neuroscience, how intentional communication is generated in the brain is still an open question. Here we asked how and when does the decision to speak become a conscious intention, i.e. a “wanting to talk” and what brain areas monitor the emergence of such an intention?
Neuropsychological evidence showed that damage to the parietal cortex disturbs early stages of motor awareness during self-initiated actions, impairing the ability to monitor the experience of intention, suggesting that this regions holds neural mechanisms important for “attention to intention” during movement planning. Does the functional role of the parietal cortex in intentional processes generalize to other behaviours involving action planning, such as spoken language?
Here we used magnetoencephalography to investigate the cortical dynamics engaged by a language production task, in which twelve healthy volunteers pronounced a one-word utterance (following a trial start cue). They were instructed to attend to either their intention to speak or their actual speech and to report the time they first became aware of their intention to speak or they started speaking.
We found that activity in the right and left parietal cortex increased before subjects became aware of intending to speak. Within the time window of parietal activation, we also observed a transient left inferior frontal activity in Broca's area, a crucial region for inner speech. During attention to speech, neural activity was detected in left prefrontal and temporal areas and in the temporoparietal junction. In agreement with previous results, our findings suggest that the parietal cortex plays a multimodal role in monitoring intentional mechanisms in both action and language. The coactivation of parietal regions and Broca's area may constitute the cortical circuit specific for controlling intentional processes during spoken language.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective: The main goal of the study was to use the human lesion method approach to explore
the putative association between posterior parietal cortex and skill learning.
Methods: 16 subjects with chronic unilateral damage to the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and 33
subjects with chronic unilateral damage to other cortical areas not involving the parietal cortex
(OCA) with comparable demographic characteristics were drawn from the Patient Registry of the
Division of Behavioral Neurology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Iowa Carver
College of Medicine. Posterior parietal cortex was defined as parietal cortex posterior to the postcentral
sulcus. Patients with multiple lesions or with damage to the cerebellum or the basal ganglia
were not included. All PPC and OCA participants underwent thorough neurological, neuroimaging,
and behavioral examinations. Behavioral data were also collected from 30 healthy
demographically comparable subjects recruited in the community (HC group). The behavioral
assessment included three skill learning paradigms (i.e., Mirror Reading, Mirror Tracing, and Rotary
Pursuit).
Results: The PPC group had significantly (p<.05) poorer baseline performance than the other
groups on the mirror reading task. A similar trend (p<.1) was found regarding the mirror tracing
task. The baseline performances on the rotary pursuit were not statistically different between
groups. However, PPC participants showed reduced improvement with practice on the rotary
pursuit task (p<.05), but not on the mirror reading and mirror tracing tasks. No clear associations
were found with lesion side.
Conclusions: The preliminary results suggest that the contribution of the posterior parietal cortex
to skill learning varies with stage of practice and with task requirements. In the initial stages of
practice, this cortical area appears to be particularly involved in tasks that require visuo-spatial
transformations (e.g., mirror reading and mirror tracing), but its contribution to the early
performance of visuomotor tracking tasks (e.g., rotary pursuit) does not seem to be critical.
However, the opposite associations were found after extended practice (i.e., damage to posterior
parietal cortex was related to impaired learning of visuomotor tracking skills, but not with
impaired learning of perceptual and perceptual-motor adaptation skills).
Discussion: Prior to this research project, no human lesion study had systematically analysed the
putative involvement of the posterior parietal cortex in learning different perceptual and
perceptual-motor skills. The reported results corroborate and extend findings from functional
neuroimaging studies.

Evidence for enduring deficits after the resolution of visuo-spatial neglect
Publication year: 2013

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Neglect frequently resolves spontaneously-however many patients continue to suffer from a number of important and frequently overlooked deficits. These residual deficits involve a number of critical functions associated with parietal cortex: attention; remapping of spatial information across saccades; spatial aspects of long-term memory. First, patients with resolved neglect appear to suffer from a pathological loss of attention capacity. We have shown this by modulating the difficulty of a task at fixation and assessing the impact of this manipulation on perception across the visual field. Patients with right parietal lesions – but without neglect - are impaired in detecting contralesional stimuli only when central task difficulty is high. Further, this impairment extends temporally leading to a spatiotemporal ‘attentional blink’ in which patients are unable to detect contralesional stimuli for a lag of up to 500 ms (Russell et al, 2004; Russell et al, 2012). Second, after neglect has resolved a considerable number of patients continue to suffer from constructional apraxia, such that they are unable to copy drawings or 3D constructions. We have assessed spatial remapping across saccades in these individuals and have shown a specific impairment in remapping location information, as compared to pattern information (Russell et al, 2010). Recently, in recovered neglect patients with right parietal damage we have assessed whether deficits in spatial representation can be revealed in tests of long-term memory. This has proved to be the case as, despite having no memory deficits in standard neuropsychological tests, when examined with a paradigm designed to examine personal spatial perspective within episodic memory, patients with right parietal damage are greatly impaired. The results of these three lines of research will be discussed in relation to enduring dysfunction following right parietal damage, and how this might relate to the neglect syndrome itself.

Cortical dynamics underlying the intentions behind speech-acts: A MEG study
Publication year: 2009
URL:
http://ipra.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=.CONFERENCE11&n=1387
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Intention is an essential dimension of language-in-action. Using language, we do more than things such as stating, requesting, and refusing (Searle, 1969; Austin, 1980): we realize spontaneous, voluntary actions.
Our intended speech acts rely crucially on the matching between the output of our verbal actions and a prior intention (what the speaker decides to express using language, Levelt, 1989). However, how intention is generated in the brain during speech is an open question.
In the action domain, motor control theories postulate that, during action execution, the Central Nervous System generates “forward models” in order to predict the sensory consequences of our upcoming movements (Wolpert and Ghahramani, 2000). The parietal cortex is a key region for activating and maintaining these models. Indeed, left inferior parietal lesions alter the ability to report the time of conscious intention to act (Sirigu et al., 2004).
Does the intention to act depend on similar neurocognitive mechanisms also in other domains such as speech?
Our hypothesis is indeed that the parietal regions are involved in intentional processes that encompass both action and language.
EXPERIMENTAL SETTING
In order to test this hypothesis, we adopted a Libet’s paradigm based on a temporal judgment task (Libet et al., 1983), in which 16 healthy subjects were asked to pronounce a one-word-like utterance and then to report verbally:
(a) the time when they first intended to speak (Intention condition)
(b) the time when they actually spoke (Speech condition)
Subject gave their verbal responses based on the position of a clock-hand turning around a clock-face on 2,560ms.
We used Magnetoencephalography to explore the neural dynamics associated with the awareness of the intention to speak.
RESULTS
We observed a negative rise of magnetic field over right parietal sensors, which was significantly higher in Intention than Speech (p<0.05) from -776 ms to -390ms before speech onset. This effect preceded the subjects’ reported time of their intention to speak (-352ms before speech onset). Furthermore, a right parietal source of brain activity emerged during the Intention condition within a time window from -890 to -290ms before speech onset. Left temporal regions were selectively engaged in the Speech task.
CONCLUSIONS
Taken together, the findings strongly support the view that the parietal cortex plays a key multimodal role in the conscious intention to act, whether this involves hand action or a linguistic act. These results are discussed in the perspective of the link between action and language in multimodal communication.

Publication year: 2015
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763415000524
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Remembering to realize delayed intentions is a multi-phase process, labelled as prospective memory (PM), and involves a plurality of neural networks. The present study utilized the activation likelihood estimation method of meta-analysis to provide a complete overview of the brain regions that are consistently activated in each PM phase. We formulated the ‘Attention to Delayed Intention’ (AtoDI) model to explain the neural dissociation found between intention maintenance and retrieval phases. The dorsal frontoparietal network is involved mainly in the maintenance phase and seems to mediate the strategic monitoring processes, such as the allocation of top-down attention both towards external stimuli, to monitor for the occurrence of the PM cues, and to internal memory contents, to maintain the intention active in memory. The ventral frontoparietal network is recruited in the retrieval phase and might subserve the bottom-up attention captured externally by the PM cues and, internally, by the intention stored in memory. Together with other brain regions (i.e., insula and posterior cingulate cortex), the ventral frontoparietal network would support the spontaneous retrieval processes. The functional contribution of the anterior prefrontal cortex is discussed extensively for each PM phase.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Neuroimaging studies showed that dorsal attention network (DAN) and default mode network (DMN) control “external/environmental” (i.e. endogenous and reflexive visual-spatial attention) vs. “internal” (i.e. body state, semantic memory, self-referential information) cortical information processing. Nevertheless, recent studies showed that parietal regions of DAN are less involved in the visuo-spatial attention when subjects perform the task after an intensive training.
AIM
We tested the hypothesis of a causal role of AG and IPS (and by extension the role of the DMN and DAN) in the regulation of cortical neural synchronization mechanisms (reflected by alpha rhythms) in two different cognitive domains (i.e. semantic memory and visuo-spatial attention). Furthermore, in a parallel study we tested the hypothesis that the causal role of IPS observed in the visuo-spatial attention become less important when subjects perform the task after an intensive training.
RESULTS
We found that both performance and anticipatory alpha de-synchronization were affected by stimulation of IPS only during visuo-spatial attention, and of AG only during semantic decisions. Moreover, we report that during a shape identification task only inhibitory TMS interference with visual cortices (V2d/V3 and LO) impaired behavioural performance, whereas interference with IPS did not.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results indicate a clear double dissociation of task by cortical location, suggesting the existence of multiple dedicated parietal channels for the modulation of anticipatory alpha rhythms. Moreover, only activity in topographically appropriate visual regions is causally involved in identifying learned shapes

Task and regions specific top-down modulation of alpha rhythms in parietal
Publication year: 2017

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Alpha (8-12 Hz) power desynchronization is strongly associated to visual perception but has been observed in a large variety of tasks, indicating a general role in task anticipation. We previously reported in human observers that interference by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of core regions of the dorsal attention network (DAN) disrupts both anticipatory alpha desynchronization and performance during a visuospatial attention (VSA) task. Here, we test the hypothesis that alpha desynchronization is task specific, and can be selectively modulated by interfering with activity in different higher-order parietal regions. We contrast the effects of rTMS on alpha rhythms and behavior on 2 different tasks: a VSA and a semantic decision task, by targeting the posterior intraparietal sulcus (pIPS), a core region of the DAN, or the angular gyrus (AG), a core region of the default mode network (DMN). We found that both performance and anticipatory alpha desynchronization were affected by stimulation of IPS only during VSA, and of AG only during semantic decisions. These findings indicate the existence of multiple dedicated parietal channels for the modulation of anticipatory alpha rhythms, which in turn reflect task-specific modulation of excitability in human parieto-occipital cortex.

Self-perspective in episodic memory after parietal damage and in healthy ageing
Publication year: 2019

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
Although there is strong support from functional imaging studies for lateral parietal lobe involvement in episodic memory, patients with damage to these regions do not appear to suffer from severe deficits in this cognitive domain. As such there has been no definitive explanation of this area's precise involvement. Here, we hypothesised that parietal regions play a crucial role in episodic memory - specifically in recollecting details from an egocentric perspective. In order to test this hypothesis systematically, we designed a novel experimental task utilising a head-mounted camera to record images from the participant's perspective, enabling us to evaluate the integrity of memory from the individual's own point of view. In the first study we examined patients with parietal damage and in a second study, using fMRI, we examined young and older healthy participants. Right-hemisphere patients with parietal damage were able to recall information accurately when recollecting what items had been present and where these items had been. However, patients were significantly impaired when attempting to judge from which perspective they had viewed the scenes. Critically, the patient group showed no evidence of impairment on standard tests of episodic and working memory. Examination of healthy participants in the second study utilised multi-voxel pattern analysis on neural activity during the recognition phase of a similar task. This revealed sensitivity to be highest around the angular gyrus of the lateral parietal cortex for our critical comparison - that is, when viewing stimuli that were the same as their egocentric view during encoding versus the identical scene but presented from an alternative angle. Our results provide important evidence that parietal cortex is directly involved in egocentric spatial perspective aspects of episodic memory and demonstrate for the first time a specific deficit in episodic memory in patients with right parietal damage.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
N100 and P300 auditory evoked potentials in 2-stimulus oddball paradigm were analyzed in high (HH, n = 18) and low (LH, n = 15) hypnotizable participants under waking condition. LH subjects committed more errors than HH subjects. HH subjects demonstrated shorter N100 latencies at frontal electrodes and significant N100 differences between target and nontarget stimuli (higher N100 amplitude and increased latency at parietal sites to targets vs. nontargets), whereas LH subjects failed to show any differences. The overall increase of P300 amplitude with frontal-central localization of P300 maximum was found in HH subjects compared to LH subjects. The obtained results support the psychophysiological model of HH individuals having more effective frontal attentional systems involved in detecting, integrating, and filtering relevant information.

Self-specific processing in the meditating brain: a MEG neurophenomenology study
Publication year: 2016
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Self-specific processes (SSPs) specify the self as an embodied subject and agent, implementing a functional self/nonself distinction in perception, cognition, and action. Despite recent interest, it is still undetermined whether SSPs are all-or-nothing or graded phenomena; whether they can be identified in neuroimaging data; and whether they can be altered through attentional training. These issues are approached through a neurophenomenological exploration of the sense-of-boundaries (SB), the fundamental experience of being an 'I' (self) separated from the 'world' (nonself). The SB experience was explored in collaboration with a uniquely qualified meditation practitioner, who volitionally produced, while being scanned by magnetoencephalogram (MEG), three mental states characterized by a graded SB experience. The results were then partly validated in an independent group of 10 long-term meditators. Implicated neural mechanisms include right-lateralized beta oscillations in the temporo-parietal junction, a region known to mediate the experiential unity of self and body; and in the medial parietal cortex, a central node of the self's representational system. The graded nature as well as the trainable flexibility and neural plasticity of SSPs may hold clinical implications for populations with a disturbed SB.

Intracranial recordings show evidence of numerosity tuning in human parietal cortex
Publication year: 2022

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0272087
Abstract/Results: Abstract
Numerosity is the set size of a group of items. Numerosity perception is a trait shared across numerous species. Numerosity-selective neural populations are thought to underlie numerosity perception. These neurons have been identified primarily using electrical recordings in animal models and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans. Here we use electrical intracranial recordings to investigate numerosity tuning in humans, focusing on high-frequency transient activations. These recordings combine a high spatial and temporal resolution and can bridge the gap between animal models and human recordings. In line with previous studies, we find numerosity-tuned responses at parietal sites in two out of three participants. Neuronal populations at these locations did not respond to other visual stimuli, i.e. faces, houses, and letters, in contrast to several occipital sites. Our findings further corroborate the specificity of numerosity tuning of in parietal cortex, and further link fMRI results and electrophysiological recordings.

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.

Convergence of visual and motor awareness in human parietal cortex

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective: Brain lesions sometimes induce a failure of recognition of one's own deficits (anosognosia). Lack of deficit awareness may underlie damage of modality-specific systems, e.g., visual cortex for visual anosognosia or motor/premotor cortex for motor anosognosia. However, focal lesions induce widespread remote structural and functional disconnection, and anosognosia, independent of modality, may also involve common neural mechanisms.
Methods: Here, we study the neural correlates of Anton syndrome (AS), anosognosia of blindness, and compare them with anosognosia for hemiplegia to test if they share different or common mechanisms. We measured both local damage and patterns of structural-functional disconnection as predicted from healthy normative atlases.
Results: AS depends on bilateral striate and extra-striate occipital damage, and disconnection of ventral and dorsal frontoparietal regions involved in attention control. Visual and motor anosognosia each share damage of modality-specific regions, but also involve the disruption of white matter tracts leading to functional disconnection within dorsal frontal-parietal regions that play critical roles in motor control, visuospatial attention, and multi-sensory integration.
Interpretation: These results reveal the unique shared combination of content-specific and supra-modal mechanisms in anosognosia. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
