Rewired to be thin? When exercise hits the brain.
IN THIS ISSUE OF THE American Journal of Physiology—Regulatory, Comparative and Integrative Physiology, the article by Patterson et al. (17) demonstrates that just 3 wk of voluntary exercise in the postnatal period mitigates weight gain in obesity-prone rats for at least 10 wk after cessation of the exercise. These novel findings suggest that a behavioral modification as simple as short-term ex...
متن کاملRunning hot and cold in the eastern equatorial Pacific
Understanding paleoceanography of the eastern equatorial Pacific is of particular importance, given its propensity for high variability on all timescales including the seasonal cycle, the interannual El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and longer-term changes, each with possible global consequences (Cane and Clement, 1999). For example, tropical Pacific warming imposed in atmospheric climate m...
متن کاملHot receptors in the brain
Two major approaches have been employed for the development of novel drugs to treat chronic pain. The most traditional approach identifies molecules involved in pain as potential therapeutic targets and has focused mainly on the periphery and spinal cord. A more recent approach identifies molecules that are involved in long-term plasticity. Drugs developed through the latter approach are predic...
متن کاملStructural human brain networks: hot topics in diffusion tractography.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW After more than 10 years of methodological developments and clinical applications, diffusion imaging tractography has reached a crossroad. Although the method is still in its infancy, the time has come to address some important questions. Can tractography reproduce reliably known anatomy or describe new anatomical pathways? Are interindividual differences, for example in tract...
متن کاملSocial life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
