H elicobacter pylori is one of the commonest bacterial pathogens in humans, infecting between 80%–90% of the population in developing countries and between 30%–50% in developed countries (1). Although it was isolated in 1982, it is considered to be part of the natural human flora since time immemorial (2) and probably an historical equilibrium between the bacteria and the host has existed. H. p...

Helicobacter pylori colonisation in the stomach is associated with increased risk for the development of peptic ulcer disease and non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. However, the incidences of these diseases vary in diVerent parts of the world, and these rates have been changing over the past century. It now is clear that the mere presence of H pylori is insuYcient to account for this variation....

Starting from the situated and embodied perspective on the study of biological cognition as a source of inspiration, this paper programmatically outlines a path towards an experimental exploration of the cognitive role of the body in artificial agents. Biological cognition is here conceived and synthetically analyzed as a broadly extended and distributed dynamic process emerging from the interp...
