Sociability modifies dogs’ sensitivity to biological motion of different social relevance

open access: yesAnimal Cognition, 2018
Preferential attention to living creatures is believed to be an intrinsic capacity of the visual system of several species, with perception of biological motion often studied and, in humans, it correlates with social cognitive performance.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Orderliness of Visual Stimulus Motion Mediates Sensorimotor Coordination

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
We explored the coupling of gaze and postural sway to the motion of a visual stimulus, to further understand sensorimotor coordination. Visual stimuli consisted of a horizontally oscillating red dot, moving with periodic (sine), chaotic, or aperiodic ...

A Causal Role of the Right Superior Temporal Sulcus in Emotion Recognition From Biological Motion [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Mind, 2017
Understanding the emotions of others through nonverbal cues is critical for successful social interactions. The right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) is one brain region thought to be key in the recognition of the mental states of others based ...

Contribution of global and local biological motion information to speed perception and discrimination.

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2018
To respond to movements of others and understand the intention of others' actions, it is important to accurately extract motion information from body movements.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Neural processing of biological motion in autism: An investigation of brain activity and effective connectivity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The superior temporal sulcus (STS) forms a key region for social information processing and disruptions of its function have been associated with socio-communicative impairments characteristic of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Spontaneous Discriminative Response to the Biological Motion Displays Involving a Walking Conspecific in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Recent translational studies using mice have contributed toward elucidating the neural, genetic, and molecular basis of social communication deficits.

Social Perception and Interaction Database—A Novel Tool to Study Social Cognitive Processes With Point-Light Displays

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Introduction: The ability to detect and interpret social interactions (SI) is one of the crucial skills enabling people to operate in the social world. Multiple lines of evidence converge to indicate the preferential processing of SI when compared to the
