Human and Animal Models for Translational Research on Neurodegeneration: Challenges and Opportunities From South America
Neurodegenerative diseases are the most frequent cause of dementia, representing a burden for public health systems (especially in middle and middle-high income countries). Although most research on this issue is concentrated in first-world centers, growing efforts in South America are affording important breakthroughs. This emerging agenda poses new challenges for the region but also new opportunities for the field. This book aims to integrate the community of experts across the globe and the region, and to establish new challenges and developments for future investigation. We present research focused on neurodegenerative research in South America. We introduce studies assessing the interpl...
Neuroscience and Social Science
This book seeks to build bridges between neuroscience and social science empirical researchers and theorists working around the world, integrating perspectives from both fields, separating real from spurious divides between them and delineating new challenges for future investigation. Since its inception in the early 2000s, multilevel social neuroscience has dramatically reshaped our understanding of the affective and cultural dimensions of neurocognition. Thanks to its explanatory pluralism, this field has moved beyond long standing dichotomies and reductionisms, offering a neurobiological perspective on topics classically monopolized by non-scientific traditions, such as consciousness, sub...
The Neurocognition of Translation and Interpreting
This groundbreaking work offers a comprehensive account of brain-based research on translation and interpreting. First, the volume introduces the methodological and conceptual pillars of psychobiological approaches vis-à-vis those of other cognitive frameworks. Next, it systematizes neuropsychological, neuroscientific, and behavioral evidence on key topics, including the lateralization of networks subserving cross-linguistic processes; their relation with other linguistic mechanisms; the functional organization and temporal dynamics of the circuits engaged by different translation directions, processing levels, and source-language units; the system’s susceptibility to training-induced pla...

Contextual Cognition
This Brief introduces two empirically grounded models of situated mental phenomena: contextual social cognition (the collection of psychological processes underlying context-dependent social behavior) and action-language coupling (the integration of ongoing actions with movement-related verbal information). It combines behavioral, neuroscientific, and neuropsychiatric perspectives to forge a novel view of contextual influences on active, multi-domain processes. Chapters highlight the models' translational potential for the clinical field by focusing on diseases compromising social cognition (mainly illustrated by behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia) and motor skills (crucially, Parkin...
The Interoceptive Mind
Interoception is the body-to-brain axis of sensations that originates from the internal body and visceral organs. The Interoceptive Mind: From Homeostasis to Awareness offers a state-of-the-art overview of, and insights into, the role of interoception for mental life, awareness, subjectivity, affect, and cognition.
Usar el cerebro : conocer nuestra mente para vivir mejor
Cómo tomamos cada una de nuestras decisiones? Qué es la conciencia? Y qué son las emociones? De dónde viene la inteligencia? El cerebro humano es la estructura más compleja del universo, tanto que se propone el desafío de entenderse a sí mismo. Todo lo que hacemos depende de esta máquina que contiene más neuronas que las estrellas que existen en nuestra galaxia. Hasta hace solo algunas décadas estas incógnitas eran abordadas únicamente por filósofos, artistas, líderes religiosos y científicos que trabajaban de manera aislada. Sin embargo, en los últimos años las neurociencias emergieron como una nueva herramienta para intentar entender estos y otros enigmas. Por tratarse de ...
