Meta-skills Are the Key to Human Potential

A new world is trying to be born –a world that seeks greater resilience, creativity, compassion and sustainable planetary progress. To bring this world into being, we need a new set of abilities not yet taught in schools and a fresh perspective on humanity. Neuroscientist, entrepreneur and expert in human-centred design Dr Melis Senova explains the idea behind her proposal for a new Institute for Human Potential

Reconsidering (Service) Design in View of Systemic Challenges: Insights from a Quantum Theoretical Perspective

(Service) designers must increasingly navigate complex and interconnected challenges in their daily work. In response, new design practices are emerging that are more systemic and strategic in their orientation. However, there is insufficient discussion about, or questioning of, the onto-epistemological foundations of design and their appropriateness in the emerging context. This paper aims to support the service design discipline in its transition towards conceiving of and responding to systemic challenges as entangled phenomena. To do so, we draw on quantum mechanics, specifically a Baradian view, which centres on the notion of entanglement and enactment to understand and navigate the world. We propose an alternative theoretical foundation for (service) design that considers ontoepistemological building blocks about the world we live in and its elements, assisting designers to question potentially taken-for-granted, yet limiting assumptions and perspectives

Full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography and neural tissue classification for deep brain imaging

Optical coherence tomography can differentiate brain regions with intrinsic contrast and at a micron scale resolution. Such a device can be particularly useful as a realtime neurosurgical guidance tool. We present, to our knowledge, the first full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography system operating near a wavelength of 1310 nm. The proof-of-concept system was integrated with an endoscopic probe tip, that is compatible with deep brain stimulation keyhole neurosurgery. Neuroimaging experiments were performed on ex vivo brain tissues and in vivo in rat brains. Using classification algorithms involving texture features and optical attenuation, images were successfully classified into three brain tissue types

Transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with depression:An electric field modeling meta-analysis

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has shown potential in modulating cortical activity and treating depression. Despite its promise, variability in electrode montage configurations and electric field strength across studies has resulted in inconsistent outcomes. Traditional meta-analytic methods assessing the effect of tDCS in depression typically do not compare tDCS montage and the anatomical distribution of electric field, which is a major source of inter-experimental variability. We hypothesize that considering these parameters and anatomical variability in a meta-analysis might unravel brain regions associated with tDCS response in patients with depression. We correlate the clinical outcome (Effect size) with electric field intensities across 8 diverse head models, analyzing data from 29 studies involving 1766 patients between 2000 and 2023. Our analysis found a significant effect of tDCS on depression, with a Hedge's g = 0.66 (95 % CI: 0.565 to 0.767). Although studies aimed to target the L-DLPFC, particularly Brodmann area (BA) 46, based on the Frontal Brain Asymmetry theory, our findings show that all the montages do not selectively target the L-DLPFC as intended. Instead, our findings indicated that the electric field impact was dispersing broadly across the frontal lobes and exhibiting significant heterogeneity. We found a correlation between electric field strength and clinical outcomes in BA 10, BA 11, and the anterior part of BA 46 despite tDCS montages heterogeneity and individual variability, suggesting that targeting frontopolar prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortices could be ideal for tDCS in treating depression. Our work underscores brain regions associated with tDCS response and highlights the need for simulation-guided, personalized trials that consider individual anatomical differences.</p

evidence from a systematic review and pooled lesion analysis

Despite claims that lesional mania is associated with right-hemisphere lesions, supporting evidence is scarce, and association with specific brain areas has not been demonstrated. Here, we aimed to test whether focal brain lesions in lesional mania are more often right- than left-sided, and if lesions converge on areas relevant to mood regulation. We thus performed a systematic literature search (PROSPERO registration CRD42016053675) on PubMed and Web-Of-Science, using terms that reflect diagnoses and structures of interest, as well as lesional mechanisms. Two researchers reviewed the articles separately according to PRISMA Guidelines, selecting reports of adult-onset hypomania, mania or mixed state following a focal brain lesion, for pooled-analyses of individual patient data. Eligible lesion images were manually traced onto the corresponding MNI space slices, and lesion topography analyzed using standard brain atlases. Using this approach, data from 211 lesional mania patients was extracted from 114 reports. Among 201 cases with focal lesions, more patients had lesions involving exclusively the right (60.7%) than exclusively the left (11.4%) hemisphere. In further analyses of 56 eligible lesion images, while findings should be considered cautiously given the potential for selection bias of published lesion images, right-sided predominance of lesions was confirmed across multiple brain regions, including the temporal lobe, fusiform gyrus and thalamus. These, and several frontal lobe areas, were also identified as preferential lesion sites in comparisons with control lesions. Such pooled-analyses, based on the most comprehensive dataset of lesional mania available to date, confirm a preferential association with right-hemisphere lesions, while suggesting that several brain areas/circuits, relevant to mood regulation, are most frequently affected.publishersversionpublishe

Mapping mania symptoms based on focal brain damage

BACKGROUND. Although mania is characteristic of bipolar disorder, it can also occur following focal brain damage. Such cases may provide unique insight into brain regions responsible for mania symptoms and identify therapeutic targets. METHODS. Lesion locations associated with mania were identified using a systematic literature search (n = 41) and mapped onto a common brain atlas. The network of brain regions functionally connected to each lesion location was computed using normative human connectome data (resting-state functional MRI, n = 1000) and contrasted with those obtained from lesion locations not associated with mania (n = 79). Reproducibility was assessed using independent cohorts of mania lesions derived from clinical chart review (n = 15) and of control lesions (n = 490). Results were compared with brain stimulation sites previously reported to induce or relieve mania symptoms. RESULTS. Lesion locations associated with mania were heterogeneous and no single brain region was lesioned in all, or even most, cases. However, these lesion locations showed a unique pattern of functional connectivity to the right orbitofrontal cortex, right inferior temporal gyrus, and right frontal pole. This connectivity profile was reproducible across independent lesion cohorts and aligned with the effects of therapeutic brain stimulation on mania symptoms. CONCLUSION. Brain lesions associated with mania are characterized by a specific pattern of brain connectivity that lends insight into localization of mania symptoms and potential therapeutic targets. FUNDING.

Memory prosthesis: is it time for a deep neuromimetic approach?

Memory loss, one of the most dreaded afflictions of the human condition, presents considerable burden on the world’s health care system and it is recognized as a major challenge in the elderly. There are only a few neuro-modulation treatments for memory dysfunctions. Open loop deep brain stimulation is such a treatment for memory improvement, but with limited success and conflicting results. In recent years closed-loop neuropros-thesis systems able to simultaneously record signals during behavioural tasks and generate with the use of inter-nal neural factors the precise timing of stimulation patterns are presented as attractive alternatives and show promise in memory enhancement and restoration. A few such strides have already been made in both animals and humans, but with limited insights into their mechanisms of action. Here, I discuss why a deep neuromimetic computing approach linking multiple levels of description, mimicking the dynamics of brain circuits, interfaced with recording and stimulating electrodes could enhance the performance of current memory prosthesis systems, shed light into the neurobiology of learning and memory and accelerate the progress of memory prosthesis research. I propose what the necessary components (nodes, structure, connectivity, learning rules, and physi-ological responses) of such a deep neuromimetic model should be and what type of data are required to train/ test its performance, so it can be used as a true substitute of damaged brain areas capable of restoring/enhancing their missing memory formation capabilities. Considerations to neural circuit targeting, tissue interfacing, elec-trode placement/implantation and multi-network interactions in complex cognition are also provided
