Topographically selective motor inhibition under threat of pain
The ability to anticipate pain is essential for survival. It helps us quickly select defensive responses to reduce physical harm and, even more importantly, to avoid future injury. This process largely relies on learning: the brain uses past experiences to recognize signals that predict potential da

Attentional load affects multisensory integration, but not spatial processing
Can we accurately process what happens in the space around us, even when our mind is overloaded? In a recent study carried out by Maria Silvia Saccani and collaborators, more than 180 participants took part in two online experiments to address this question. Since potential asymmetries in spatial pr

The impact of auditory distraction on visual memory encoding in older adults
In everyday life, we are constantly required to manage multiple tasks at once. Stimulus-rich environments force us to process diverse streams of information in parallel, putting our cognitive resources to the test. However, the natural cognitive decline associated with aging can reduce the ability t

Efficacy of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for people with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention designed to support cognitive functioning, counteract psychological and behavioral symptoms and promoting quality of life for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. However, do its benefits relate to the dementia subt9
