Abstract The Action-sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE) is a well-known demonstration of the role motor activity in comprehension language. Participants are asked to make sensibility judgments on sentences by producing movements toward body or away from body. ACE finding that faster when direction movement (e.g., ) matches action to-be-judged sentence Art gave you pen describes you). We report pre-registered, multi-lab replication one version ACE. results show none 18 labs involved study...
Abstract Brain clocks, which quantify discrepancies between brain age and chronological age, hold promise for understanding health disease. However, the impact of diversity (including geographical, socioeconomic, sociodemographic, sex neurodegeneration) on brain-age gap is unknown. We analyzed datasets from 5,306 participants across 15 countries (7 Latin American Caribbean (LAC) 8 non-LAC countries). Based higher-order interactions, we developed a deep learning architecture functional...
Background The ability to integrate contextual information with social cues generate meaning is a key aspect of cognition. It widely accepted that patients schizophrenia and bipolar disorders have deficits in cognition; however, previous studies on these did not use tasks replicate everyday situations. Methodology/Principal Findings This study evaluates the performance cognition (emotional processing, empathy, norms knowledge) incorporate different levels dependence involvement real-life...
Interoception, the monitoring of visceral signals, is often presumed to engage attentional mechanisms specifically devoted inner bodily sensing. In fact, most standardized interoceptive tasks require directing attention internal signals. However, studies in field have failed compare modulations between internally- and externally-driven processes, thus probing blind specificity former. Here we address this issue through a multidimensional approach combining behavioral measures, analyses...
Diversity in brain health is influenced by individual differences demographics and cognition. However, most studies on diseases have typically controlled for these factors rather than explored their potential to predict signals. Here, we assessed the role of (age, sex, education; n = 1,298) cognition (n 725) as predictors different metrics usually used case-control studies. These included power spectrum aperiodic (1/f slope, knee, offset) metrics, well complexity (fractal dimension...
Background Adults with bipolar disorder (BD) have cognitive impairments that affect face processing and social cognition. However, it remains unknown whether these deficits in euthymic BD impaired brain markers of emotional processing. Methodology/Principal Findings We recruited twenty six participants, 13 controls subjects an equal number participants. used event-related potential (ERP) assessment a dual valence task (DVT), which faces (angry happy), words (pleasant unpleasant), face-word...
Frontostriatal networks play critical roles in grounding action semantics and syntactic skills. Indeed, their atrophy distinctively disrupts both domains, as observed patients with Huntington's disease (HD) Parkinson's disease, even during early stages. However, frontostriatal degeneration these conditions may begin up to 15 years before the onset of clinical symptoms, opening avenues for pre-clinical detection via sensitive tasks. Such a mission is particularly HD, given that patients'...
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients present several alterations related to sensing of bodily signals. However, no specific neurocognitive impairment has yet been proposed as a core deficit underlying such symptoms. We aimed determine whether MS changes in interoception—that is, the monitoring autonomic information—a process that might be various dysfunctions. performed two studies 34 relapsing–remitting, early‐stage and 46 controls matched for gender, age, education. In Study 1, we...
Background: Fatigue ranks among the most common and disabling symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent theoretical works have surmised that this trait might be related to alterations across interoceptive mechanisms. However, hypothesis has not been empirically evaluated. Objectives: To determine whether fatigue MS patients is associated with specific behavioral, structural, functional disruptions of domain. Methods: levels were established via Modified Impact Scale. Interoception was...
Accurate early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases represents a growing challenge for current clinical practice. Promisingly, tools can be complemented by computational decision-support methods to objectively analyze multidimensional measures and increase diagnostic confidence. Yet, widespread application these cannot recommended unless they are proven perform consistently reproducibly across samples from different countries. We implemented machine-learning algorithms evaluate the...
Despite the growth of research on translation and interpreting, measures competence in such activities typically stem from informal, non-validated instruments. This scenario casts doubts ensuing findings hinders comparability across studies. To address issue, we introduce Translation Interpreting Competence Questionnaire (TICQ), an online tool for collecting relevant quantitative qualitative data. The instrument comprises three sections. Section A covers demographic data aspects language...
Abstract Introduction Timely diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) remains challenging because it depends on clinical expertise and potentially ambiguous diagnostic guidelines. Recent recommendations highlight the role multimodal neuroimaging machine learning methods as complementary tools to address this problem. Methods We developed an automatic, cross‐center, computational approach for robust classification patients with bvFTD healthy controls. analyzed...
Traditionally, Huntington's disease (HD) has been known as a movement disorder, characterized by motor, psychiatric, and cognitive impairments. Recent studies have shown that motor action language processes are neurally associated. The mechanisms underlying this interaction investigated through the Action Compatibility Effect (ACE) paradigm, which induces contextual coupling of ongoing actions verbal processing. present study is first to use ACE paradigm evaluate action-word processing in HD...
Emotion recognition and empathy abilities require the integration of contextual information in real-life scenarios. Previous reports have explored these domains adolescent offenders (AOs) but not used tasks that replicate everyday situations. In this study we included ecological measures with different levels dependence to evaluate emotion AOs relative non-offenders, controlling for effect demographic variables. We also influence fluid intelligence (FI) executive functions (EFs) prediction...
The search for biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases via fMRI functional connectivity (FC) research has yielded inconsistent results. Yet, most FC studies are blind to non-linear brain dynamics. To circumvent this limitation, we developed a "weighted Symbolic Dependence Metric" (wSDM) measure. Using symbolic transforms, factor in local and global temporal features the BOLD signal weigh robust copula-based dependence measure by similarity, capturing both linear associations. We compared...
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is an autosomal recessive disease associated with premature aging, progressive multiorgan degeneration, and nervous system abnormalities including cerebral cerebellar atrophy, brain calcifications, white matter abnormalities. Although several clinical descriptions of CS patients have reported developmental delay cognitive impairment relative preservation social skills, no previous studies carried out a comprehensive neuropsychological cognition assessment. Furthermore,...
Abstract Monitoring is a complex multidimensional neurocognitive phenomenon. Patients with fronto-insular stroke (FIS), behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) show lack of self-awareness, insight, self-monitoring, which translate into anosognosia daily impairments. Notably, they also present damage in key monitoring areas. While neuroscientific research on this domain has accrued recent years, no previous study compared performance across these brain...
