The emotional body. The expression of emotions. My research aims to focus on the subject of the expressions of emotions as they are visible in the body and its movements, historically starting from the works of some authors of the seventeenth century. I am interested in deepening my focus on the different approaches in the Cartesian age to the expression of emotions in the works of some scholars who consider the theme from different perspectives, and who also give graphic representation of it. As it is well known, René Descartes not only proposed a revolutionary philosophical method, but also developed a completely innovative approach to the study of emotions, which he considered essentially " en physicien ".

In addition: visibility is a central issue not only for the famous painter, but also for Descartes and Cureau de la Chambre. Both philosophers developed a theory of light, which turned out to be strictly connected to the domain of passions. The conceptual contribution of these historical works is relevant in view of a more specific definition of a sequence of ideas that are a matter of lively scientific debate today, in analogy to the reappraisal of the Spinozian " conatus " proposed by Antonio Damasio, or the revival of the

Nimesulide inhibits protein kinase C epsilon and substance P in sensory neurons – comparison with paracetamol
In this paper we describe new actions of nimesulide and paracetamol in cultured peripheral neurons isolated from rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Both drugs were able to decrease in a dose-dependent fashion the number of cultured DRG neurons showing translocation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCɛ) caused by exposure to 1 μM bradykinin or 100 nM thrombin. In addition, the level of substance P (SP)...
