In informational masking paradigms, the successful segregation between target and masker creates auditory perceptual awareness. The dynamics of build-up perception is based on a set interactions bottom–up top–down processes that generate neuronal modifications within brain network activity. These neural changes are studied here using event-related potentials (ERPs), entropy, integrated informat...

Brain hyperexcitability in sleep apnea is believed to be provoked by hypoxemia, but fragmentation can also play a significant role. Sleep trigger inflammatory mechanisms. The aim of this research was investigate the effects chronic on seizure susceptibility and brain cytokine profile. Chronic male rats with implanted EEG electrodes achieved treadmill method. Rats were randomized to: control (TC...

Greedy individuals often exhibit more impulsive decision-making and short-sighted behaviors. It has been assumed that altered reward circuitry prospection network is associated with greed personality trait (GPT). In this study, we first explored the morphological characteristics (i.e., gray matter volume; GMV) of GPT combined univariate multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) approaches. Second, a...

Working memory serves as a basis for many cognitive functions, including attention, decision-making, and learning. When engaged, it is often associated with an increase in the average neural firing rates across different sensory sensorimotor regions of brain. However, modulation rate extrastriate cortex, involved visual processing, has never been reported during maintenance information. Here, f...

Taste Perception In article 2203316 by Longquan Shao and co-workers, tongue–brain transported zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) can induce neuroinflammation in the gustatory cortex (GC), reduce synaptic transmission neurons, ultimately lead to abnormal taste perception. Based on this unique discovery, inhibiting or enhancing provide positive effects for treatment of perception abnormalities.

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a uniquely human disorder. although the pathogenesis of ad is not fully understood, growing evidence indicates that the deposition of beta-amyloid (aβ) and the local reactions of various cell types to this protein play major roles in the development of the disease. in the present study transgenic mice expressing mutant amyloid precursor protein (app) has been used. t...

Drug abuse has been claimed to cause the loss of neurons and reduction of volume in both the adult and developing brain. This study examined cortex volumes in cerebrum and cerebellum of male rats that were dependent on morphine using unbiased stereological counting methods and systematic random sampling technique. Our goal was to test whether short time exposure to morphine can affect the corte...
