Audio-visual sensory deprivation degrades visuo-tactile peri-personal space

Olaf Blanke, Hervé Lissek, Andrea Serino, Hyeongdong Park, Isabella Maria Pasqualini

Self-perception is scaffolded upon the integration of multisensory cues on the body, the space surrounding the body (i.e., the peri-personal space; PPS), and from within the body. We asked whether reducing information available from external space would ch ...

Impact of individual differences in glucocorticoid adaptation to stress on behavior, neurophysiology and metabolism

Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...

In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder

Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...

Virtual Zero Gravity Impact on Internal Gravity Model

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Elisa Canzoneri

This project investigates the impact of a virtual zero gravity experience on the human gravity model. In the planned experiment, subjects are immersed with HMD and full body motion capture in a virtual world exhibiting either normal gravity or the apparent ...

Action Monitoring Cortical Activity Coupled to Submovements

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Numerous studies have examined neural correlates of the human brain’s action-monitoring system during experimentally segmented tasks. However, it remains unknown how such a system operates during continuous motor output when no experimental time marker is ...

Constitutive differences in habituation of the glucocorticoid response to stress are related to variation in aggression and anxiety-related behaviors

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Sophie Elizabeth Walker, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut

Glucocorticoids coordinate responses that enable an individual to cope with stressful challenges and, additionally, mediate adaptation following cessation of a stressor. There are important individual differences in the magnitude of glucocorticoid responsi ...

Stress, glucocorticoid receptor and social behaviors

Aurélie Lattion

Peripuberty, comprising childhood and adolescence, constitutes an important time window in the brain development and maturation. Exposure to prolonged stress during this period has been shown to increase the risk for the development of psychopathologies la ...
