Integrating Neural Noise and Neuroinflammatory Hypotheses: Exploring the Comorbidity of Dyslexia, Depression, and Stress
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceFumiko Hoeft Recent advancements in our understanding of dyslexia have highlighted the complex interplay between neurobiological mechanisms and comorbid conditions such as depression and stress. The Neural Noise Hypothesis (NNH) of dyslexia proposes that dysregulated neural activity, characterized by excessive glutamatergic neurotransmission, leads to the disrupted auditory and visual processing that typifies this learning disorder.

The evolution and social functions of human nonverbal vocalisations
B011 LPL 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceDr. Katarzyna PISANSKI Human nonverbal vocalisations such as screams, cries, and laughter convey socially vital information, yet have received far less attention than speech. We still know very little about how emotional vocalisations develop, how we use them in everyday life, or how they vary across cultures.

Espace Pouillon 3 place Victor Hugo, MarseilleChristian Kell Perception and production can be interpreted rather as two sides of the same control process instead of two separate cognitive modules. I will present a theoretical framework that can be used to explain findings in speech perception as well as production. As speech requires control of multiple hierarchically organized parameters, the proposed framework models […]
