Hence, behavioral habituation to pain in neonates is better observed, therefore, by an aggregate function between sensitization and habituation while habituation was clear to the physiological parameter AUC. This observed phenomenon still needs more studies utilizing the psychophysical approach. Reference: [1] J. Colombo, J. E. Frick, S.A. Gorman, J. Exp. Child Psychol. 70 26-53 (1997).

In the forward version, sequences of digits of increasing length have to be reproduced in the order in which they are presented, whereas in the backward version items must be reproduced in the reversed order. The forward task is thought to reflect verbal working memory capacity, and the backward task primarily taxes executive functioning resources. Here, we assessed whether transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) can increase healthy individuals’ verbal memory span. Methods: Online imperceptibly weak electrical currents in the alpha (10 Hz), beta (20 Hz), theta (5 Hz) and gamma (40 Hz) range, as well as a sham stimulation, were randomly delivered over the left lateral posterior parietal cortex, an area which has been previously associated with digit span performance. Each session of stimulation lasted 3-3.5 minutes. Results: In the forward digit span, stimulation in the beta range significantly increased the number of items recalled, confirming the critical role of beta rhythm in the maintenance and rehearsal of information in working memory. Only minor effects of tACS were observed in the backward task. Conclusions: These results provide one of the first evidence that tACS can have enhancing effects on memory, even on a relatively stable trait as memory span capacity. Our findings thus pave the way for clinical application of this technique in patients with memory disorders. O5 Cerebro-cerebellar plasticity underlying recovery of body motion perception A.

Recent data suggest specifical impairment of biological motion processing through lesions to the left lateral cerebellum (Sokolov et al. Cereb Cortex 2010), apparently through perturbation of communication with the right superior temporal sulcus, STS (Sokolov et al. Neuroimage 2012), a key structure within the action observation network. However, compensatory potential of this circuitry remains unknown. Methods: To this end, we conducted follow-up assessment of visual sensitivity to point-light biological motion in a patient SL with left cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma (WHO grade I), and six healthy matched controls. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and effective connectivity were used to assess underlying brain network plasticity. Results: Preoperative visual sensitivity to biological motion in patient SL was significantly lower than in healthy matched controls (χ2=9.54, p<0.01). Sensitivity substantially improved at 8 months (χ2=15.12, p<0.001) and attained the level of controls at 24 months after neurosurgery (χ2=1, n.s.). As compared to healthy controls, fMRI reveals activation of left cerebellar lobules III and IX (x = −14, y = −34, z = −22, and x = −6, y = −60, z = −56, respectively; MNI coordinates), representing a midline shift of cerebellar activity. Psychophysiological interaction (PPI) analysis shows that, as in normalcy, the left cerebellum interacts with a region in the right STS (x = 44, y = −24, z = 0), but located more anteriorly than in healthy participants. Conclusions: The outcome indicates a remarkable potential for recovery of biological motion perception after removal of a left cerebellar tumor that appears to be mediated by topographical cerebro-cerebellar network reorganization. The findings open a window for further research on functional compensation and plasticity after cerebellar damage.
