Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Brain imaging methods have contributed to shed light on the possible mechanisms of recovery and cortical reorganization after early brain insult. The idea that a functional left hemisphere is crucial for achieving a normalized pattern of language development after left perinatal stroke is still under debate. We report the case of a 3.5-year-old boy born at term with a perinatal ischemic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery, affecting mainly the supramarginal gyrus, superior parietal and insular cortex extending to the precentral and postcentral gyri. Neurocognitive development was assessed at 25 and 42 months of age. Language outcomes were more extensively evaluated at the latter age with measures on receptive vocabulary, phonological whole-word production and linguistic complexity in spontaneous speech. Word learning abilities were assessed using a fast-mapping task to assess immediate and delayed recall of newly mapped words. Functional and structural imaging data as well as a measure of intrinsic connectivity were also acquired. While cognitive, motor and language levels from the Bayley Scales fell within the average range at 25 months, language scores were below at 42 months. Receptive vocabulary fell within normal limits but whole word production was delayed and the child had limited spontaneous speech. Critically, the child showed clear difficulties in both the immediate and delayed recall of the novel words, significantly differing from an age-matched control group. Neuroimaging data revealed spared classical cortical language areas but an affected left dorsal white-matter pathway together with right lateralized functional activations. In the framework of the model for Social Communication and Language Development, these data confirm the important role of the left arcuate fasciculus in understanding and producing morpho-syntactic elements in sentences beyond two word combinations and, most importantly, in learning novel word-referent associations, a building block of language acquisition.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
rain imaging methods have largely contributed to shed light on the possible mechanisms of recovery and cortical reorganization after early brain insult. The idea that a functional left hemisphere is crucial for achieving a normalized pattern of language development after left perinatal stroke is still under debate. Here, we report an interesting case of a 3 year-old child born at term with a left perinatal ischemic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery, affecting the superior temporal gyrus and extending to the supra-marginal gyrus. We evaluated the child for cognitive, social and linguistic abilities at 3 years of age. Linguistic learning abilities were also assessed using a fast-mapping task adapted for preschoolers and mimicking the first steps of language acquisition. Moreover, we acquired functional and structural imaging data as well as a measure of intrinsic connectivity. Despite having linguistic receptive functions within the normal range, the child had clear difficulties in the productive aspects of language, was impaired in learning new word-referent associations, showed a right lateralized pattern of BOLD activation during a passive listening task and had a disrupted left arcuate fasciculus. These data suggest an important role of the left hemisphere and specifically of the arcuate fasciculus for the learning of novel word-referent associations, one of the building block of vocabulary acquisition.

A contribuição dos esquemas semânticos para as facetas lexical e episódica de novas palavras em jovens adultos

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Learning new words is a life-long skill that we maintain even through adulthood. A new word has two facets that differ both in their time course and their neural underpinnings. The lexical facet concerns the integration of the new word in the mental lexicon and its role in lexical dynamics, namely, competition during recognition. This facet emerges slowly, usually after a consolidation period involving sleep. The episodic facet relates to the temporal-spatial representation of the new word which becomes available immediately after encoding. The development of this facet usually benefits from the presence of semantic schemas, i.e., abstract mental structures to which new information can be anchored. However, the impact of semantic schemas on the development of the lexical facet is not as clear. Recent literature has provided mixed results, even suggesting the presence of schemas could be detrimental for lexicalization. The current project explores the role of semantic schemas on the development of the two facets of new spoken words (e.g., leoparna derived from the baseword leopardo and as such members of the same phonological cohort), by manipulating the visual information presented during encoding. Twenty four young adults heard the new words in a phoneme monitoring task on Day 1 and Day 2 (24h after the first session). Each new word was accompanied by a context of visual information presented in the center of the screen (within participants): in the orthographic context, its orthographic representation (e.g., leoparna); in the semantic context, a word (e.g., chávena; with no phonological or semantic association with the baseword) presented as a synonym for the new word. The two facets were evaluated in three sessions in order to study their time course: Day 1 (immediately after encoding); Day 2 (24h after encoding and before the second encoding phase); Day 8 (1 week after Day 1 and with no encoding period between Day 2 and 8). The lexical facet was indirectly studied through a semantic categorization task on the basewords (from which the new words were constructed), considering that if the new item (e.g., leoparna) had been lexicalized, participants would be slower to recognize the basewords (e.g., leopard), compared to control words (e.g., pérola, without any association with the new words but with the same psycholinguistic properties as the basewords). The lexical facet only emerged on Day 8 and it was only significant for words learned in the orthographic context: young adults were slower to categorize basewords associated to new words learned in the orthographic context compared to control words. To basewords related to new words learned in the semantic context no significant differences were observed in relation to control words, even after 1 week (although numerically there was an advantage for the categorization of control words on Day 8).These results suggest that the lexical facet is stronger for words learned in orthographic context, since they were integrated in the mental lexicon, influencing the recognition of words that were members of the same phonological cohort. The development of the episodic facet was immediate, in agreement with the previous literature: participants were able to recognize the new items and to recall them immediately after the first encoding phase, with this episodic facet becoming stronger throughout the sessions. However, unlike it was expected, the episodic facet of words learned in the orthographic context was stronger than the words learned in the semantic context. These results suggest that the presence of semantic schemas can interfere with the emergence of the lexical facet and, possibly, in the consolidation of the episodic facet of new words. Yet, if on one hand the interference observed for the emergence of the lexical facet can be explained by the complementary learning systems model McClelland et al., 1995), on the other hand, the interference observed on the consolidation of the episodic facet can be explained by a difficulty in the integration of the lexical information of the synonym-word and the new word. This possibility might suggest that semantic information access does not occur automatically but demands cognitive resources, at least when this information is presented in a written format. The current study converges with an arising body of literature that aims to fully comprehend learning new words as episodic and lexical representations.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We examined whether schemas assist word learning. Spoken new words were presented along orthographic or semantic contexts. Whereas after 1-week lexicalization occurred for new words in orthographic context, memory for new items was readily available regardless of context. It seems that schemas do not assist lexicalization, they rather hinder it.

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.

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