VOLUMES NO QUOTIDIANO: O USO DE MATERIAIS CONCRETOS E MANIPULÁVEIS NO ENSINO DE...
Martins, Francisco; Silva, Nuno Miguel; Mascarenhas, Daniela; Maia, AnaThis study, conducted with 18 sixth-grade students (ages 11–12), investigated how the use of Base Ten Blocks (MAB) and the connection between mathematics and everyday life contribute to the understanding of the concept of volume. The main objectives were: to promote the construction of the volume concept using MAB; to implement tasks contextualized in students’ daily lives; and to analyze the impact of manipula...
The use of manipulative materials for the development of number sense and calcu...
Pinto, Helena; Silva, Nuno; Maia, AnaThis study aimed to understand the impact of using manipulatives on the development of number sense and mental calculation in first-grade students. Conducted within an action-research framework, the study involved a class of 18 students over three weeks. The intervention consisted of a sequence of tasks using the ten-frame, bead string, and dot cards, promoting representation, decomposition, and problem-solving...
Music for all: finding digital resources
Moreno, Davys; Maia, Ana; Jacob, PauloThe present study aims to find technological solutions to facilitate the inclusion of children with Special Needs in learning music. To achieve this end, a systematic literature review was conducted, between the years 2017 and 2022, with the keyword "accessible digital musical instruments" in different search engines and databases. In addition, a questionnaire survey was carried out to the musicians integrating...
Striatal dopamine D2-like receptors availability in obesity and its modulation ...
Ribeiro, Gabriela; Maia, Ana; Cotovio, Gonçalo; Oliveira, Francisco P. M.; Costa, Durval C.; Oliveira-Maia, Albino J.There is significant evidence linking a 'reward deficiency syndrome' (RDS), comprising decreased availability of striatal dopamine D2-like receptors (DD2lR) and addiction-like behaviors underlying substance use disorders and obesity. Regarding obesity, a systematic review of the literature with a meta-analysis of such data is lacking. Following a systematic review of the literature, we performed random-effects ...
Explicit knowledge of task structure is a primary determinant of human model-ba...
Castro-Rodrigues, Pedro; Akam, Thomas; Snorasson, Ivar; Camacho, Marta; Paixão, Vitor; Maia, Ana; Barahona-Corrêa, J. Bernardo; Dayan, PeterExplicit information obtained through instruction profoundly shapes human choice behaviour. However, this has been studied in computationally simple tasks, and it is unknown how model-based and model-free systems, respectively generating goal-directed and habitual actions, are affected by the absence or presence of instructions. We assessed behaviour in a variant of a computationally more complex decision-makin...
Accessible music for everyone: discovering resources
Moreno, Davys; Maia, AnaThe present study was triggered by the need to find technological solutions to promote the inclusion of a child with Cerebral Palsy in the Arts Education Programmes of Music in Portugal. With this purpose, a PhD student together with an ICT Resources Center, conducted an exploratory study, which included a systematic review of literature, between the years 2017 and 2020, with the keyword "accessible digital mus...

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Major Depressive Disorder in O...
Valiengo, Leandro; Maia, Ana; Cotovio, Gonçalo; Gordon, Pedro C; Brunoni, André R; Forlenza, Orestes V; Oliveira-Maia, Albino JBackground Major depressive disorder (MDD) in older adults is a serious public health concern. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a nonpharmacological intervention approved for MDD treatment in adults, but its value in older adults remains unknown. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze evidence of rTMS efficacy in MDD treatment among older adults. Methods We systematicall...
Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome in the Intensive Care...
Maia, Ana; Cotovio, Gonçalo; Barahona-Corrêa, Bernardo; Oliveira-Maia, Albino J.Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a neurological emergency caused by dysregulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission. While it is typically characterized by muscle rigidity, fever and altered mental status, it may have a heterogeneous and non-specific presentation, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Treatment involves cessation of dopamine-receptor antagonists and supportive measures, but in more sev...
