« Ce n’est pas très beau ce que vous avez dit ! » The activation of resonance in French parliamentary debates by Elisabeth Zima, Geert Brône, Kurt Feyaerts, Paul Sambre

“…In line with recent observations within the cognitive-functional context of dialogic syntax (Du Bois, 2001; Sakita, 2006; Zima et al, submitted) and psycholinguistic research on interactive alignment (Pickering & Garrod, 2004, 2006), we demonstrate that resonance can be activated both through explicit repetition of linguistic form and implicit echoing of semantic-pragmatic meaning. …”

Bi-allelic variants in WDR47 cause a complex neurodevelopmental syndrome by Efil Bayam, Peggy Tilly, Stephan C Collins, José Rivera Alvarez, Meghna Kannan, Lucile Tonneau, Elena Brivio, Bruno Rinaldi, Romain Lecat, Noémie Schwaller, Ludovica Cotellessa, Sateesh Maddirevula, Fabiola Monteiro, Carlos M Guardia, João Paulo Kitajima, Fernando Kok, Mitsuhiro Kato, Ahlam A A Hamed, Mustafa A Salih, Saeed Al Tala, Mais O Hashem, Hiroko Tada, Hirotomo Saitsu, Mariano Stabile, Paolo Giacobini, Sylvie Friant, Zafer Yüksel, Mitsuko Nakashima, Fowzan S Alkuraya, Binnaz Yalcin, Juliette D Godin

“…Abstract Brain development requires the coordinated growth of structures and cues that are essential for forming neural circuits and cognitive functions. The corpus callosum, the largest interhemispheric connection, is formed by the axons of callosal projection neurons through a series of tightly regulated cellular events, including neuronal specification, migration, axon extension and branching. …”

Inflammatory Mechanisms Associated with Skeletal Muscle Sequelae after Stroke: Role of Physical Exercise by Hélio José Coelho Junior, Bruno Bavaresco Gambassi, Tiego Aparecido Diniz, Isabela Maia da Cruz Fernandes, Érico Chagas Caperuto, Marco Carlos Uchida, Fabio Santos Lira, Bruno Rodrigues

“…On the other hand, physical exercise (PE) has been widely suggested as a powerful tool for treating stroke patients, since PE is able to regenerate, even if partially, physical and cognitive functions. However, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of physical exercise in poststroke patients remain poorly understood. …”

Fetal and Neonatal Levels of Omega-3: Effects on Neurodevelopment, Nutrition, and Growth by Juliana Rombaldi Bernardi, Renata de Souza Escobar, Charles Francisco Ferreira, Patrícia Pelufo Silveira

“…Evidence from animal models of dietary n-3 LCPUFAs deficiency suggests that these fatty acids promote early brain development and regulate behavioral and neurochemical aspects related to mood disorders (stress responses, depression, and aggression and growth, memory, and cognitive functions). Preclinical and clinical studies suggest the role of n-3 LCPUFAs on neurodevelopment and growth. n-3 LCPUFAs may be an effective adjunctive factor for neural development, growth, and cognitive development, but further large-scale, well-controlled trials and preclinical studies are needed to examine its clinical mechanisms and possible benefits. …”
