Shared functional connectome fingerprints following ritualistic ayahuasca intake

Enrico Amico

The knowledge that brain functional connectomes are unique and reliable has enabled behaviourally relevant inferences at a subject level. However, whether such "fingerprints" persist under altered states of consciousness is unknown. Ayahuasca is a potent s ...

Optimised three-dimensional in vitro retinoblastoma models tailored for drug discovery and clinical translatability

Irina Sinenko

Retinoblastoma, while relatively rare, stands as the most prevalent intraocular cancer. In Switzerland, the survival rate approaches 100%, but it drops to less than 50% in low-income countries. The current treatment options for retinoblastoma rely on a lim ...

Neuroscience robotics for controlled induction and real-time assessment of hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Eva Blondiaux, Laurent Frédéric Jenni, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Although hallucinations are important and frequent symptoms in major psychiatric and neurological diseases, little is known about their brain mechanisms. Hallucinations are unpredictable and private experiences, making their investigation, quantification a ...

Electrophysiological correlates of visual backward masking in patients with bipolar disorder

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Simona Adele Garobbio

In visual backward masking (VBM), a target is followed by a mask that decreases target discriminability. Schizophrenia patients (SZ) show strong and reproducible masking impairments, which are associated with reduced EEG amplitudes. Patients with bipolar d ...

Cell-type-specific nicotinic input disinhibits mouse barrel cortex during active sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Célia Roxane Gasselin

Fast synaptic transmission relies upon the activation of ionotropic receptors by neurotransmitter release to evoke postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate and GABA play dominant roles in driving highly dynamic activity in synaptically connected neuronal circuit ...

Effect of tool-use observation on metric body representation and peripersonal space

Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

In everyday life, we constantly act and interact with objects and with others' people through our body. To properly perform actions, the representations of the dimension of body-parts (metric body representation, BR) and of the space surrounding the body ( ...

Receptor-induced transient responses in cells with oscillatory actin dynamics

Jose Negrete Jr

Living cells adjust their sensing and migratory machinery in response to changes in their environment. In this work, we show that cells of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum modulate the dynamical state of their actin cytoskeleton in response to an ...

System and methods for using thereof for predicting hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini

A system for predicting a likelihood of an occurrence of hallucinations in a subject including a master device configured to be at least one of moved, moved on, and manipulated by a subject, a slave device operably connected with the master device and adap ...

Backward masking performance in patients with functional psychoses

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

In visual backward masking, a target is followed by a blank screen (ISI - Inter-stimulus-interval) and, then, a mask which deteriorates target processing. Schizophrenic patients show strong but complex processing deficits in visual masking compared to heal ...

Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations

Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Elisa Canzoneri

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor ...

Out-of-Body Experiences and Other Complex Dissociation Experiences in a Patient with Unilateral Peripheral Vestibular Damage and Deficient Multisensory Integration

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Petr Grivaz

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are illusory perceptions of one's body from an elevated disembodied perspective. Recent theories postulate a double disintegration process in the personal (visual, proprioceptive and tactile disintegration) and extrapersonal ...

Investigation of the water exchange mechanism of the Plutonyl(VI) and Uranyl(VI) ions with quantum chemical methods

François Rotzinger, Antonio Prlj

The water exchange reactions of PuO2(OH2)(5) and UO2(OH2)(5) were investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and wave function theory (WFT). Geometries and vibrational frequencies were calculated with DFT and CPCM hydration. The electron ...

Graph theory reveals dysconnected hubs in 22q11DS and altered nodal efficiency in patients with hallucinations

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Leila Cammoun, Marie Schaer, Leila Faiza Ben Hamida Cammoun

Schizophrenia is postulated to be the prototypical dysconnection disorder, in which hallucinations are the core symptom. Due to high heterogeneity in methodology across studies and the clinical phenotype, it remains unclear whether the structural brain dys ...

Backward masking reveals different visual processing of schizophrenic and depressive patients

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Visual backward masking is a very sensitive tool for studying early visual processing deficits and a reliable endophenotype of schizophrenia. Mental diseases strongly overlap in many aspects, for example, in psychopathology, cognition, and genetics. Here, ...

Patients with functional psychoses show similar visual backward masking deficits

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Recent genetic, behavioral, and clinical studies suggest that functional psychoses (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder), previously thought to be distinct from each other, may belong to one continuum. The shine-through masking paradi ...

Duration and not strength of activation in temporo-parietal cortex positively correlates with schizotypy

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Impaired self- and own body processing in patients with schizophrenia and individuals along the schizophrenia spectrum have been associated with dysfunctional cortical activation at the temporo-parietal junction. Here we investigated whether strength or du ...
