A healthcare approach to mental integrity
The current human rights framework can shield people from many of the risks associated with neurotechnological applications. However, it has been argued that we need either to articulate new rights or reconceptualise existing ones in order to prevent some of these risks. In this paper, we would like to address the recent discussion about whether current reconceptualisations of the right to mental integrity identify an ethical dimension that is no…
Intra-Individual Response Variability Assessed by Ex-Gaussian Analysis may be a New Endophenotype for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Intra-individual variability of Response Times (RTisv) is considered as potential endophenotype for Attentional Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Traditional methods for estimating RTisv lose information regarding Response Times (RTs) distribution along the task, with eventual effects on statistical power. Ex-Gaussian analysis captures the dynamic nature of RTisv, estimating normal and exponential components for RT distribution, with specifi…
Social Cognition in Schizophrenia
Social cognition consists of several skills which allow us to interact with other humans. These skills include social stimuli processing, drawing inferences about others' mental states, and engaging in social interactions. In recent years, there has been growing evidence of social cognitive impairments in patients with schizophrenia. Apparently, these impairments are separable from general neurocognitive impairments, such as attention, memory, an…
The Phonological Loop
The phonological loop-here referred to as a specialized auditory-vocal sensorimotor circuit connecting posterior temporal areas with the inferior parietal lobe (Brodmann's areas 40 and 39) and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (Broca's region, Brodmann's areas 44 and 45)-is proposed to have been a fundamental element associated with the origin of vocal language in human evolution. This circuit derives from auditory prefrontal networks that pree…

Bajo Riesgo De Déficit Atencional / Hiperactividad en Niños Aymarás
"Se estudió la distribución de puntajes en la Escala de Conners que se utiliza para diagnosticar el trastorno por déficit atencional/hiperactividad (TDAH) en niños del Liceo Agrícola "José Abelardo Núñez", ubicado en San Miguel de Azapa, Arica, Chile, con el propósito de desarrollar estrategias de diagnóstico precoz para prevenir este trastorno, que se asocia frecuentemente a conductas de alto riesgo, como el uso de sustancias adictivas. Las niña…
