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.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Effective inhibitory control over prepotent actions is crucial. Understanding the brain mechanisms that enable humans to suppress unwanted behaviors remains a major scientific challenge that has been relatively underexplored. Notably, inhibitory control appears to be affected by the presence of emotional stimuli, although findings in this area have been mixed.
Aims
We aim to disclose the complex interplay between action control and emotions, investigating how emotional stimuli are able to behaviorally influence action control as well as the neural dynamics subtending such complex executive function.
Method
In a series of behavioral and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) studies, we asked healthy young participants to complete action control tasks. We investigated how action control capabilities can be ameliorated or suppressed due to different TMS protocol applications and whether individual neurophysiological indices may predict action suppression abilities.
Results
We demonstrated that negative emotions are able to influence action control and that the neural dynamics subtending action suppression are differently influenced in a neutral vs an emotional context. Interestingly, individual differences in intracortical mechanisms within the motor system may be considered as a biomarker for action control capabilities.
Conclusions
This project significantly advances the mechanistic understanding of the complex interplay between action and emotion, demonstrating that negative emotions can ameliorate action suppression. Taken together, our results pave the way for future TMS-based treatments in several psychiatric and clinical disorders with serious deficits in action control, especially in emotion-related context.
