    Neural networks connecting emotion and cognition assessed in psychopaths, cocaine users and obsessive-compulsive disorder using MRI 

    Contreras Rodríguez, Oren (Date of defense: 2013-09-12)

    Emotional processing is fundamental for normal socialization, interpersonal interactions, successful decision-making and overall to self-regulate behavior according to each context. Adequate emotional processing relies ...

    Neural networks for singing voice extraction in monaural polyphonic music signals 

    Chandna, Pritish (Date of defense: 2021-09-23)

    This thesis dissertation focuses on singing voice extraction from polyphonic musical signals. In particular, we focus on two cases; contemporary popular music, which typically has a processed singing voice with instrumental ...

    Neural stochastic dynamics of perceptual decision making 

    Martí Ortega, Daniel (Date of defense: 2008-11-12)

    Models computacionals basats en xarxes a gran escala d'inspiració neurobiològica permeten descriure els correlats neurals de la decisió observats en certes àrees corticals com una transició entre atractors de la xarxa ...

    Neural substrates of psychotic-like states and cognitive impairment in a mouse model of schizophrenia and subsequent rescue by antipsychotic drugs 

    Delgado Sallent, Cristina (Date of defense: 2021-12-17)

    Disruption of communication in brain circuits involving the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the hippocampus (HPC) has been suggested to be a hallmark characteristic of schizophrenia. Therefore, a better understanding of the ...

    Neurobiological correlates of behavioural alterations in mouse models of MBNL2 deficiency and pharmacological interventions : relevance for myotonic dystrophy type 1 

    Ramon Duaso, Carla (Date of defense: 2019-12-16)

    Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare disease characterized by muscular defects, as well as, cognitive and mood alterations. Although these neurophysiological disturbances are very debilitating, there is lack of data ...

    Neurobiological links between depression and drug dependence 

    Gracia Rubio, Irene (Date of defense: 2016-03-15)

    Early life experiences play a key role in brain function and behaviour. Maternal separation produced negative early life experiences that induce emotional alterations. Contrary, the communal nest has been proposed as a ...
