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.

Learning to fear novel stimuli by observing others in the social affordance framework
Publication year: 2025

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2025.106006
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Fear responses to novel stimuli can be learned directly, through personal experiences (Fear Conditioning, FC), or indirectly, by observing conspecific reactions to a stimulus (Social Fear Learning, SFL). Although substantial knowledge exists about FC and SFL in humans and other species, they are typically conceived as mechanisms that engage separate neural networks and operate at different levels of complexity. Here, we propose a broader framework that links these two fear learning modes by supporting the view that social signals may act as unconditioned stimuli during SFL. In this context, we highlight the potential role of subcortical structures of ancient evolutionary origin in encoding social signals and argue that they play a pivotal function in transforming observed emotional expressions into adaptive behavioural responses. This perspective extends the social affordance hypothesis to subcortical circuits underlying vicarious learning in social contexts. Recognising the interplay between these two modes of fear learning paves the way for new empirical studies focusing on interspecies comparisons and broadens the boundaries of our knowledge of fear acquisition.

Mirror neurons in monkey frontal and parietal areas
Publication year: 2025

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-05299-9
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Mirror neurons (MNs) are a class of cells in the fronto-parietal regions of the primate brain that activate during both action execution and observation. Over three decades, numerous neurophysiological studies have investigated the properties of MNs, proposing their involvement in social interaction. However, variability in definitions, recorded brain regions, and response dynamics has posed challenges to replicating MN findings and achieving a comprehensive understanding of their properties. Here, we present a curated dataset of hundreds of single neurons from multielectrode recordings in three fronto-parietal areas (AIP, F5, F6) of macaques executing and observing a reach-to-grasp task. In addition to motor neurons, many cells responded to both executed and observed actions, thus fulfilling the MN criteria. The dataset includes spike times and behavioural events in HDF5 format, a standard for neuroscience data sharing, along with example MATLAB and Python code for dataset exploration and analysis. This resource offers a platform for investigating MNs across different brain areas and task conditions, enabling data-driven hypothesis-testing of their motor and social properties.
