The eco-evolutionary consequences of reward-based learning for behavioural variation. Ghent University
In recent years it has become clear that most animals have the ability to learn and that this often plays an important role in how individuals adjust their behaviours throughout their lives. Yet, how learning ultimately contributes to behavioural variation within populations is still poorly known. This project investigates the functioning and consequences of reward-based learning – a simple and universal mechanism by which individuals adapt ...

Reliability-based assessment of the system behaviour of existing concrete structures taking into account spatio-temporal variations and uncertainties using random fields Ghent University
For many designers and asset managers, the timing and extent of repair works has become a
major economic and logistical consideration since a large part of the patrimony has reached its
theoretical end of life. However, current methods for assessing existing structures lack the ability
to adequately take into account all relevant information and predict the structural behaviour over
time. Consequently, nowadays, the ...

Recognition and Validation of Druggable Targets from the Response to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 patients from Integrated -Omics Networks Ghent University
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult form of muscular dystrophy,
affects virtually all tissues; the noncurable condition carries significant morbidity and
mortality impacting patient and family quality of life and socio-economic status. The
OPTIMISTIC clinical trial has shown that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), a patienttailored
intervention to increase activity and enable ...
Development, validation and application of a novel foot-ankle model to evaluate ligament behaviour in patients with ankle instability KU Leuven
Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries, often resulting in lateral ankle ligament tears or ruptures. Thirty to fifty percent of the patients develop chronic ankle instability (CAI) after a first ankle sprain, including persistent complaints of pain, swelling and/or the feeling of giving way in combination with recurrent sprains. CAI may be caused by mechanical (MAI) or functional ankle instability (FAI) or a ...
