Journal ArticleDOI
Human-like rodent amyloid-β-peptide determines Alzheimer pathology in aged wild-type Octodon degu
Nibaldo C. Inestrosa,Ariel E. Reyes,Marcelo A. Chacón,Waldo Cerpa,Aldo Villalón,Juan F. Montiel,Genevieve Merabachvili,Rebeca Aldunate,Francisco Bozinovic,Francisco Aboitiz +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that aged O. degu constitutes the first wild-type rodent model for neurodegenerative processes associated to AD and the high amino acid homology between deguAbeta and humanAbeta sequences is probably a major factor in the appearance of AD markers in this aged rodent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Cognition in Schizophrenia: From Social Stimuli Processing to Social Engagement
Pablo Billeke,Francisco Aboitiz +1 more
TL;DR: A framework which takes into account the dynamic nature of social processes is proposed, which could facilitate the development of both basic research and clinical applications oriented to psychiatric populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
N400 ERPs for actions: building meaning in context
Lucia Amoruso,Carlos Gelormini,Francisco Aboitiz,Miguel Ángel Álvarez González,Facundo Manes,Juan F. Cardona,Agustín Ibáñez +6 more
TL;DR: This review outlines recent data from N400 studies that examine the understanding of action events and suggests that both negativities reflect a common neurocognitive mechanism involved in the construction of meaning through the expectancies created by previous experiences and current contextual information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the environment on the dendritic morphology of the rat auditory cortex.
Mitali Bose,Pablo Muñoz-Llancao,Swagata Roychowdhury,Justin A. Nichols,Vikram Jakkamsetti,Benjamin A. Porter,Rajasekhar Byrapureddy,Humberto Salgado,Michael P. Kilgard,Francisco Aboitiz,Alexies Dagnino-Subiabre,Alexies Dagnino-Subiabre,Marco Atzori +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that the auditory cortex is an exquisitely sensitive target of neocortical plasticity, and that prolonged exposure to different acoustic as well as emotional environmental manipulation may produce specific changes in dendritic shape and spine density.
Journal Article
Brain connections: interhemispheric fiber systems and anatomical brain asymmetries in humans.
TL;DR: A sensible pattern of histological differentiation along the corpus callosum is found, indicating specific properties of interhemispheric conduction for axonal fibers involved in different brain functions, and it is determined that an increased callosal area indicates an increased number of callosal fibers.
