Interconnection between adolescents' and family members' sleep.

Deficient sleep has been linked to a broad range of physical, cognitive and mental health impacts, in particular during adolescence. It is thus essential to understand its underlying mechanisms, including family factors. The goal of our study was to assess through combined subjective and objective assessments, how family members' daily variations in sleep are interconnected, between parents and siblings of adolescents.

ENIGMA-Meditation: Worldwide Consortium for Neuroscientific Investigations of Meditation Practices.

Meditation is a family of ancient and contemporary contemplative mind-body practices that can modulate psychological processes, awareness, and mental states. Over the last 40 years, clinical science has manualized meditation practices and designed various meditation interventions that have shown therapeutic efficacy for disorders including depression, pain, addiction, and anxiety. Over the past decade, neuroimaging has been used to examine the neuroscientific basis of meditation practices, effects, states, and outcomes for clinical and nonclinical populations.

Neural bases of social facilitation and inhibition: how peer presence affects elementary eye movements.

Social Facilitation/Inhibition (SFI) refers to how others' presence influences task performance positively or negatively. Our previous study revealed that peer presence modulated saccadic eye movements, a fundamental sensorimotor activity. Pro- and anti-saccades were either facilitated or inhibited depending on trial block complexity (Tricoche et al.

Encoding models for developmental cognitive computational neuroscience: Promise, challenges, and potential.

Cognitive computational neuroscience has received broad attention in recent years as an emerging area integrating cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. At the heart of this field, approaches using encoding models allow for explaining brain activity from latent and high-dimensional features, including artificial neural networks. With the notable exception of temporal response function models that are applied to electroencephalography, most prior studies have focused on adult subjects, making it difficult to capture how brain representations change with learning and development.

Meditation dosage predicts self- and teacher-perceived responsiveness to an 18-month randomised controlled trial.

Understanding the factors that predict why some individuals perceive to respond more to meditation training than others could impact the development, efficacy, adherence levels, and implementation of meditation-based interventions. We investigated individual-level variables associated with self- and teacher-perceived responsiveness to longer-term meditation training. This study presents a secondary analysis of the Age-Well trial (NCT02977819, 30/11/2016) and includes 90 healthy older adults (65-84 years) that were randomised to an 18-month meditation training or a non-native language (English) training.

Intact ultrafast memory consolidation in adults with autism and neurotypicals with autism traits.

The processes of learning and memory consolidation are closely interlinked. Therefore, to uncover statistical learning in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), an in-depth examination of memory consolidation is essential. Studies of the last five years have revealed that learning can take place not only during practice but also during micro rest (<1 min) between practice blocks, termed micro offline gains.

Deep brain stimulation for severe dystonia associated with Wilson disease: A prospective multicenter meta-analysis of an N-of-1 trial.

Background And Purpose: Disabling dystonia despite optimal medical treatment is common in Wilson disease (WD). No controlled study has evaluated the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on dystonia related to WD. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of DBS on dystonia related to WD.

A French multicenter analytical evaluation of the automated Lumipulse G sNfL blood assay (Fujirebio®) and its comparison to four other immunoassays for serum neurofilament light chain assessment in clinical settings.

Objectives: Measurement of serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) protein is becoming a key biomarker for many neurological diseases. Several immunoassays have been developed to meet these clinical needs, revealing significant differences in terms of variability and results. Here, we propose a French multicenter comparison of 5 sNfL assays.

Cost and benefit of parafoveal information during reading acquisition as revealed by finger movement patterns.

Contrary to expert readers, children learning to read have limited ability to preprocess letters in parafoveal vision. Parafoveal letters induce crowding cost: the features of neighboring letters interfere with target letter identification. We longitudinally studied the weight of parafoveal cost and benefit in two group of children (N = 42), during their first school year (Group 1) and at the end of second school year (Groupe 2).

Trajectory of mean platelet volume changes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in patients with or without delayed cerebral ischemia.

The morbidity of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains high, particularly because of secondary cerebral lesions that significantly aggravate the primary lesions. The main type of secondary lesions is delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), in which platelets (PLT) appear to play a key role. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indirect marker of platelet activation.

Efficacy and tolerance of intravenous methylprednisolone pulses in children with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia requiring respiratory support.

Objectives: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects premature babies and contributes to their morbidity. French BPD guidelines suggest the use of intravenous methylprednisolone pulses (IVMP) for those who require respiratory support (RS) following 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). However, there is scant data on the efficacy and tolerance for this indication.

Comparing the Auditory Distance and Externalization of Virtual Sound Sources Simulated Using Nonindividualized Stimuli.

When reproducing sounds over headphones, the simulated source can be externalized (i.e., perceived outside the head) or internalized (i.

Grasping rehabilitation using motor imagery with or without neurofeedback after tetraplegia: a study protocol for a bicentric randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Tetraplegia causes extensive sensorimotor deficits affecting activity, participation and quality of life. People with C6-C7 tetraplegia can learn to grasp objects by performing wrist extension movement (ie, tenodesis grasp), and motor imagery (MI) added to rehabilitation significantly improved tenodesis grasp. We hypothesise that this improvement can be further boosted by adding neurofeedback during MI.

Brain PET Imaging in the Presurgical Evaluation of Drug-Resistant Focal Epilepsy.

Presurgical evaluation aims to localize the seizure onset zone (SOZ) for a tailored resection. Interictal [F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET is now an established test to lateralize and/or localize the SOZ, particularly if MR imaging is negative or if the noninvasive assessment shows discrepancies. PET can show hypometabolic areas associated with SOZ and the potential altered metabolic brain networks.

Lavender improves sleep through olfactory perception and GABAergic neurons of the central amygdala.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The use of lavender as sleep aid or hypnotic agent can be traced back as early as ancient Romans and Greeks. Yet, objective experimental data on whether and how lavender enhances sleep duration or/and sleep quality remain lacking.

Aim Of The Study: We aimed to characterize the sleep-wake regulating effects of lavender in the mouse and to demonstrate the brain targets and neural circuits involved.

Migraine treatment: Position paper of the French Headache Society.

The French migraine management recommendations were published in 2021. However, in the last three years, new data have come to light and new drugs have been approved (eptinezumab, rimegepant and atogepant) by the European Medicines Agency that require us to take a position on their use and to update certain elements of the recommendations. The first important message concerns the position of the French Headache Society on the use of preventive treatments (monoclonal antibodies and gepants) targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway.

A status report on human odorant receptors and their allocated agonists.

Olfactory perception begins when odorous substances interact with specialized receptors located on the surface of dedicated sensory neurons. The recognition of smells depends on a complex mechanism involving a combination of interactions between an odorant and a set of odorant receptors (ORs), where molecules are recognized according to a combinatorial activation code of ORs. Although these interactions have been studied for decades, the rules governing this ligand recognition remain poorly understood, and the complete combinatorial code is only known for a handful of odorants.

Development of auditory cognition in 5- to 10-year-old children: Focus on speech-in-babble-noise perception.

Speech-in-noise perception is consistently reported to be impaired in learning disorders, which stresses the importance of documenting its developmental course in young children. In this cross-sectional study, ninety children (41 females, 5.5-11.

Early-life adversity predicting the incidence of multisite chronic pain in the general population.

Introduction: Adverse childhood events (ACEs) have been linked to widespread chronic pain (CP) in various cross-sectional studies, mainly in clinical populations. However, the independent role of different ACEs on the development of different types of CP remains elusive. Accordingly, we aimed to prospectively assess the associations between specific types of ACEs with the development of multisite CP in a large population-based cohort.
