ANTIcipating the Global Onset of Novel Epidemics (ANTIGONE)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

In recent years, an increased number of zoonotic viruses and bacteria have crossed the species barrier to humans and caused or threatened to cause human pandemics with high morbidity and mortality. Because of our inability to predict the emergence of these pathogens, it is difficult to take preventive measures. It is known that zoonotic pathogens need to cross barriers at the animal-human interfac ...

Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2016,

One of the most interesting questions in prehistory is that of the origins of European peoples following the introduction of settled farming life to the continent some 8,000 years ago. The interdisciplinary BEAN network will address this by combining teaching and research in three different fields: i) Anthropology and genetics, ii) computer simulation and modelling, and iii) prehistoric archaeolog ...

Towards new Brain-Machine Interfaces: state-dependent information coding (SI-CODE)

Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs) are devices mediating communication between a brain and the external world, and hold the potential for a) restoring motor or sensory functions to people who lost them due to illness or injury, and b) understanding neural information processing through controlled interactions between neurons and external devices. However, the success of BMIs is hampered by the proble ...

Data without Boundaries (DWB)

Date du début: 1 mai 2011, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,

While access to anonymised official microdata for researchers is still uneven both at national and at European level, access to highly detailed and sensitive microdata is now increasingly on the agenda. Different member states have substantially different outcomes for research access to Official data, and the issue is not just efficiency, but real harm to the contribution of the social sciences to ...

Neural mechanisms of vocal learning: role of the basal ganglia (NMVLRBG)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,

"Motor skills are acquired through sensorimotor learning and can be executed without awareness. Experimental evidence suggests that the acquisition and execution of motor skills rely on multiple neural networks. On one hand, the basal ganglia (BG) are necessary for the acquisition of a motor skill through sensorimotor learning, but not for its execution later on. On the other hand, premotor networ ...

The Innovation Society, Sustainability, and ICT (INSITE)

Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,

Our society is organized around a positive feedback dynamic that produces innovation cascades. In these cascades, new artifacts are inextricably linked with transformations in social organization and the generation of new "needs" for individual and society. Besides desired effects, these cascades produce disruptive changes in the environment and in society itself, ultimately leading to sustainabi ...

cerebellar molecular layer Interneuron network imaging in awake animal (Interneuron Network)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,

Molecular layer interneurons form an interconnected network in the cerebellar cortex that controls the activity of Purkinje cells. Even though much is known about the properties of these interneurons in isolated preparations, their activity pattern in vivo remains largely unknown. The present project proposes to investigate the functional status of the interneurons in awake, head-restrained mice, ...

Learning Greek in the Renaissance: Marcus Musurus, philologist, editor of Greek texts and teacher (Musurus)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,

The ancient texts transmitted by the humanists of the Renaissance are the direct source of our cultural heritage. It is therefore important to understand how humanists have worked to establish a continuous link between antiquity and our time and to enter the duration in the originality of our own thinking. In this perspective the case of Marcus Musurus offers an investigation particularly favorabl ...

Cancer progression is a complex process where cells acquire aberrant proliferative, survival and migratory properties, as well as the ability to trigger the formation of a dedicated tumour blood supply. There is now compelling evidence that the bulk of the malignant cells in cancers contained a rare fraction of self-renewing, multi-potent, and tumour-initiating cells, termed stem-like cancer cells ...
