Sudden Cardiac Death and Electrical Dyssynchrony Mediated by Purkinje-His Dysfunctional Activity (SYMPHONY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

"Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of mortality in the whole world (WHO 2008), responsible for 700000 deaths each year in Europe; a huge burden on healtcare. Half of this mortality is due to heart failure (HF), which can be caused or further aggravated by electrical dyssynchrony. The other half of cardiac mortality occurs suddenly, essentially due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias.The main o ...

Neural coding of fear memories formation and extinction in frontal association network (FEAR-FRA)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

"The neocortex is the brain area that is most expanded in the human brain. It is thought that neocortical function underlies the remarkable adaptive and associative learning skills of mammals. Learning-dependent neocortical plasticity is supposed to rely on subtle changes in the spatial pattern and level of neuronal activity that likely depend on connectivity rearrangement through synapses turnove ...

Utility of omic-based biomarkers in characterizing older individuals at risk for frailty, its progression to disability and general consequences to health and well-being - The FRAILOMIC Initiative (FRAILOMIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The forecasted increase in the number of older people for this century will be accompanied by an increase of those with disabilities. Disability is usually preceded by a condition named frailty that encompasses changes associated with ageing, life styles and chronic diseases. To detect and intervene on it is of outstanding importance to prevent disability, as recovery from disability is unlikely. ...

Non-coding RNAs in neurogenic and neuropathic pain mechanisms and their application for risk assessment, patient stratification and personalised pain medicine (NCRNAPAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Neuro-immune alterations in the peripheral and central nervous system play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic pain, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) regulate both immune and neuronal processes. Therefore, ncRNAPain proposes that ncRNAs are critically important master switches for chronic pain.ncRNAPain represents a multidisciplinary consortium of clinical partners, molecular and systems-level n ...

Analysis and classification of mental states of vigilance with evolutionary computation (ACOBSEC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Over the last decade, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has grown and matured as a field. Gone are the days when only a mouse and keyboard could be used to interact with a computer. The most ambitious of such interfaces are Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI) systems. BCI’s goal is to allow a person to interact with an artificial system using brain activity. A common approach towards BCI is to analyze ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Synapses: from molecules to higher brain function and diseases (SYMBAD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

SyMBaD aims to move forward our knowledge on synapse structure and function in the normal and pathological brain. Brain diseases represent a considerable social and economic burden in Europe. Emerging evidence indicates that synaptic dysfunction is associated with a majority of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Novel therapeutical approaches relie on a better knowledge of the synapse and its ...

"Role of the lysosomal dysfunction during aging, and implication for Parkinson’s Disease." (AGELYSPARK)

Start date: Dec 3, 2010, End date: Dec 2, 2013,

"Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no proven neuroprotective or neurorestorative therapy. The most consistent risk factor for developing PD is increasing age. PD is a disease where substantial cell loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta occurs alongside the formation of Lewy Bodies (LB). Although LB represent a pathological hallmark of PD, their ...
