Neuroimaging studies have identified a network of regions in the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC) sensitive to faces. Using intra-cerebral electrophysiological recordings, we compared the relative responsivity of the different regions to face-structure using a periodic visual stimulation paradigm. Recordings were made in 17 epileptic patients implanted with linear-array depth-electrodes (>1000 contacts in the VOTC). In Experiment 1, we presented sequences of phase-scrambled and intact face stimuli (equalised for low-level image properties) alternating at a fixed frequency of 3Hz (6 images/s) while patients completed an orthogonal task...

Humans are extremely rapid at categorizing visual inputs, an ability which relies on occipito-temporal brain processes. Functional neuroimaging studies have identified the spatial organization of neural responses in these regions to ecologically-relevant categories such as faces, bodyparts or houses. However, much less is known about the spatio-temporal dynamics of these category-selective responses at the system level of organization. Here we investigate this issue by recording scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) during fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) with natural images (Rossion et al...

Being able to read social information is vital for an individual. A wealth of social cues is provided by the face, in particular emotional expressions. To address the question of how the brain discriminates emotional faces, we recorded electroencephalogram from 18 participants during a fast periodic oddball paradigm, which provides an objective, implicit and robust quantifiable measure of visual discrimination. The same face with a neutral expression was presented at a rate of 5.88 Hz during an 80 sec sequence...

Face detection is typically fast and accurate, but some faces are detected faster and better than others in natural images. While some studies have shown that low-level visual cues contribute to rapid face detection, there is less information concerning the contribution of high-level factors. Here, we tested whether face detection differs for full-front vs. 3/4 head views using fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS). This approach can isolate cortical responses for the detection of faces - as compared to other object categories - objectively, rapidly and implicitly in natural images, without contribution from low-level visual cues (Rossion et al...

Previous studies have shown that when working memory (WM) has reached its processing limit due to maintaining a substantial amount of information, its cognitive resources are depleted for subsequent cognitive functions, such as for selective attention (SA) (de Fockert et al., 2001; Downing, 2000). Using a dual-task paradigm combining a change-detection task and a flanker task, we investigated how WM maintenance affects SA across and within spatial and feature-based information categories (processing feature information such as the color of an item in WM as well as in SA would be considered within-category; storing the spatial location of an item in WM while attending to the color of the item in SA would be considered across-category)...

When recognizing an object, low spatial frequencies (LSFs) are processed before higher spatial frequencies (HSFs), presumably through the faster magnocellular pathway. People suffering from autism spectrum disorders (ASD) however may not benefit from such a precedence of LSF information, several studies indicating a deficit in processing related to the magnocellular pathway (e.g., Sutherland & Crewther, 2010) and a preference toward HSFs rather than LSFs (e.g., Deruelle, Rondan, Gepner, & Tardif, 2004). Our study compared the time course of spatial frequency (SF) use in object recognition in neurotypical and ASD subjects...

Face perception involves a large set of regions distributed along the ventral temporal cortex and thus represents an interesting model to help understanding how visual information is processed along the ventral visual pathway. Here we shed light on the functional organization of this cortical network by recording focal intracerebral electroencephalogram in 20 epileptic patients implanted with depth electrodes. We objectively defined and quantified face-selective responses in the frequency domain by means of fast periodic visual stimulation with natural images (Rossion et al...

OBJECTIVES: The value of Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance based on the histological diagnosis of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) remains debated given the lack of adequate risk stratification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value (PV) of SOX2 expression for neoplastic progression in BE patients. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study within a prospective cohort of 720 BE patients. Patients with neoplastic progression, defined as the development of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), were classified as cases and patients without neoplastic progression were classified as controls...

The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in different recreational water bodies in Belgium and to estimate the infection risk associated with swimming and other recreational activities. Cryptosporidium oocysts and/or Giardia cysts were detected in three out of 37 swimming pools, seven out of 10 recreational lakes, two out of seven splash parks and four out of 16 water fountains. In the swimming pools no infection risk for Cryptosporidium could be calculated, since oocysts were only detected in filter backwash water...

Orange rectangular blocks suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained for the previously reported [Ahmad & Bano (2011). Int. J. ChemTech Res. 3, 1470-1478] title chalcone, C15H14ClNOS. This solid-emissive chalcone exhibits a planar structure and the bond parameters are compared with related compounds already described in the literature. The determination of the structure of this chalcone is quite relevant because it will play an important role in theoretical calculations to investigate potential two-photon absorption processes and could also be useful for studying the interaction of such compounds with a biological target...

The effect of the variation of CNC concentration on the growth pattern of CNC-XG films is investigated. We found that a transition in the growth slope occurs at a CNC concentration of roughly 3-4gL(-1). A close effect can be obtained by the increase of the ionic strength of the CNC suspensions, suggesting that electrostatic interactions are involved. Static light scattering investigation of CNC dispersions at increasing concentrations demonstrated that the particle-particle interactions change as the CNC concentration increases...

Pentadecane is an organic compound that is made up of primarily carbon and hydrogen atoms. Pentadecane is a floral volatile found in many different plants and essential oils and also in crude extracts of some plants, and it shows antimicrobial activity. This study investigated in vitro effects of pentadecane in Leishmania infantum parasites and found that it decreases growth by 86 ± 2% both in promastigotes (half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 65.3 μM) and in amastigotes (IC50 = 60.5 μM), resulting in a reduction of macrophage infection; growth inhibition was 77% at 300 μM...

BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable comparisons of health loss over time and across causes, age-sex groups, and countries. The GBD can be used to generate summary measures such as disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and healthy life expectancy (HALE) that make possible comparative assessments of broad epidemiological patterns across countries and time...

Fucosylated glycans synthesized by α1,3/4-fucosyltransferase (FUT3) enzyme play an important role in breast cancer prognosis and metastasis, being involved in the binding of circulating tumor cells to the endothelium and being related to tumor stage, metastatic potential and chemoresistance. Despite the pro-tumor action of this enzyme, studies have demonstrated its role in natural killer-induced cytotoxicity through the recognition of sialyl Lewis X by C-type lectin receptors and through extrinsic apoptosis pathway triggered by Apo2L-TRAIL...

Progeroid disorders overlapping with De Barsy syndrome (DBS) are collectively denoted as autosomal-recessive cutis laxa type 3 (ARCL3). They are caused by biallelic mutations in PYCR1 or ALDH18A1, encoding pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 and pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS), respectively, which both operate in the mitochondrial proline cycle. We report here on eight unrelated individuals born to non-consanguineous families clinically diagnosed with DBS or wrinkly skin syndrome. We found three heterozygous mutations in ALDH18A1 leading to amino acid substitutions of the same highly conserved residue, Arg138 in P5CS...

During the epileptogenic process, several events may occur, such as an important activation of the immune system in the central nervous system. The response to seizure activity results in an inflammation in the brain as well as in the periphery. Moreover, CRP and cytokines may be able to interact with numerous ligands in response to cardiac injury caused by sympathetic stimulation in ictal and postictal states. Based on this, we measured the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines during acute, silent, and chronic phases of rats submitted to the pilocarpine model of epilepsy...
