The proposed project, Innovations in human and non-human animal communities, aims to reconstruct the evolutionary history of three allegedly human-specific cognitive abilities, namely: linguistic competence, symbolic activities, and sophisticated tools. More specifically, this project seeks to understand the evolution of the cognitive underpinnings underlying each of these innovations, by…
Stroke is a significant cause of disability worldwide, especially in developing regions such as Latin America and, in particular, Brazil. Currently do not exist effective treatments for stroke-related motor deficits, and although promising studies using non-invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMI) have been conducted, few studies have analyzed brain electrical activity during BMI in stroke…
Spinal cord injury is an important cause of permanent disability and chronic pain, particularly in the young population. It is known that spinal cord injury causes hyper-excitability of specific neurons in the posterior horn of the spinal cord (broad spectrum neurons), which are largely responsible for the picture of severe myelopathic pain whose delayed onset occurs after lesion. Cellula…
For a long time it was believed that the central nervous system was a completely still part of the organism, unable to perform any adaptation to severe injuries with extense cell loss. However, this view has been changing over the past decades, as experiments increasingly start to show the occurrence of adult neurogenesis and restoration of the CNS. The existence of neurogenic niche in th…
Spinal cord injury is a serious neurological disease that often results in severe loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury, as well as chronic pain in most patients. It is known that spinal cord injury causes hyper-excitability of specific neurons in the posterior horn of the spinal cord (broad spectrum neurons), which are largely responsible for the myelopathic pain w…
