Comprehension of Action Negation Involves Inhibitory Simulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Previous research suggests that action language is comprehended by activating the motor system. We report a study, investigating a critical question in this research field: Do negative sentences activate the motor system?

Unsupervised Symbol Grounding and Cognitive Bootstrapping in Cognitive Vision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In conventional computer vision systems symbol grounding is invariably established via supervised learning. We investigate unsupervised symbol grounding mechanisms that rely on perception action coupling. The mechanisms involve unsupervised clustering of observed actions and percepts. Their association gives rise to behaviours that emulate human action.

Up or down? Reading direction influences vertical counting direction in the horizontal plane – a cross-cultural comparison

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Most adults and children in cultures where reading text progresses from left to right also count objects from the left to the right side of space. The reverse is found in cultures with a right-to-left reading direction.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Grounding clinical and cognitive scientists in an interdisciplinary discussion

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
In most clinical approaches the body receives little attention. In cognitive science, in contrast, the embodied and grounded perspective, which emphasises the importance of the body, has been intensively explored over the last decade. The present article

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

THE CONSTRAINTS OF EMBODIMENT AND LANGUAGE-THOUGHT RELATIONS

open access: yesStudia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Philosophia, 2021
This paper aims to impugn the magnified role of specific natural languages in structuring and shaping cognition in the context of language-thought relations.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...
