Boosting working memory in the elderly: driving prefrontal theta–gamma coupling via repeated neuromodulation
No full textAbstract The escalating global burden of age-related neurodegenerative diseases and associated healthcare costs necessitates innovative interventions to stabilize or enhance cognitive functions. Deficits in working memory (WM) are linked to alterations in prefrontal theta–gamma cross-frequency coupling. Low-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has emerged as a non-invasive, low-cost approach capable of modulating ongoing oscillations in targeted brain areas through entrainment. This study investigates the impact of multi-session peak-coupled theta–gamma cross-frequency tACS administered to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on WM performance in older adults. In a randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blinded design, 77 participants underwent 16 stimulation sessions over six weeks while performing n -back tasks. Signal detection measures revealed increased 2-back sensitivity and robust modulations of response bias, indicating improved WM and decision-making adaptations, respectively. No effects were observed in the 1-back condition, emphasizing dependencies on cognitive load. Repeated tACS reinforces behavioral changes, indicated by increasing effect sizes. This study supports prior research correlating prefrontal theta–gamma coupling with WM processes and provides unique insights into the neurocognitive benefits of repeated tACS intervention. The well-tolerated and highly effective multi-session tACS intervention among the elderly underscores its therapeutic potential in vulnerable populations.Niedersächsische Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100011937Herzzentrum Göttinge
Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé
No full textPaul Bourget, A committed writer, Yehoshua Mathias.
In the France of the early twentieth century, Paul Bourget's figure is that of a successful novelist who became gradually a «committed author». A monarchist, deeply conservative, passionate defender of religion and the family as the vital bases of the social order, he thus became the bard of the bourgeois ethic faced with the destabilization of modernity.Mathias Yehoshua.

No full textDer Text erinnert zum 250sten Geburtsjahr an Alexander von Humboldt, ein Vordenker für eine ökologische Sicht der Welt und ein früher Protagonist „transversaler Vernunft“. Er ist als Ideengeber für die „neuen Naturtherapien“, für die Integrative Therapie und für eine ökologische Sicht in der Psychotherapie eine unverzichtbare Quelle. Einige aus dieser Perspektive wichtige Aspekte seines Denkens und Werkes werden aufgezeigt. Er ist ein Referenzautor für transversales und integratives Konzeptualisieren in unserer Zeit.The text commemorates the 250th year of birth of Alexander von Humboldt, a thought leader for an ecological view of the world and an early protagonist of „transversal reason“. He is an indispensable source of ideas for the „new nature therapies“, for integrative therapy and for an ecological viewpoint in psychotherapy. Some important aspects of his thinking and work are shown from this perspective. He is a reference author for transversal and integrative conceptualization in our time.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/gruene-texte/17-2019-petzold-h-g-mathias-wiedemann-u-natur-muss-gefuehlt-werden-alexander-v-humboldt/peerReviewedpublishedVersio

The reality of fiction: the ECO by Mathias Goeritz
No full textAbstract
This article covers the full biography of a building, the Experimental Museum El Eco, designed by Germanborn and Mexican émigré artist and architect Mathias Goeritz. It provides an approach intersecting the biography of the author, the history of the building, and prominent individuals of the two cultural traditions, German and Mexican, who participated in the creation of a very special and unique building: El Eco. On the one hand, the ethics of Expressionism, the interest in non-European art, the cult of primitivism and the aesthetic system of the pair of concepts abstraction-empathy, all stemming from German culture. On the other, the pantheistic religiosity of landscape, zoomorphism and anthropomorphism, the interest in masks, and the aesthetics of monumental scale, stemming from pre-Cortesian Mexican culture. Taking the stance of intertwining Mathias Goeritz parcours with those of individuals and issues from his German past and his Mexican future – highlighting the figures of Wilhelm Worringer, Paul Westheim, Luis Barragán, Edmundo O'Gorman, and Ida Rodríguez Prampolini – this article proposes a return trip from fiction to reality, following in the footsteps of the author and comparing them with the pathway of the very building El Eco
Oswald Mathias Ungers and Sol LeWitt: Variations
No full textOne of the fundamentals of Oswald Mathias Ungers work is the definition of a new unity between art and architecture. What this investigation is focused on is the identification of the intersection point between art and architecture, considering the project for the Entrance to the Kaiserthermen in Trier (20032007) as case study, revealing the system of theoretical, methodological and compositional correspondences. Plastic art is Ungers' main interlocutor: one of the author's most important references is Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), an artist he admired and collected. Setting the work of Oswald Mathias Unger and Sol LeWitt side by side, offers the opportunity to underline the shared interpretation that the two authors have of the world of forms postulated by Henri Focillon (1881-1943) in Life of Forms, according to which form, autonomous with respect to time and place, has its own universe, governed by its own laws, space and matter. According to these premises, we propose to read Trier's building through the instruments of art, following the hypothesis that in this project art embodies a creative and positive component in the definition of architecture, a cultural stimulus that guides the author in the design process
