A strong link between body perception and emotional experience has been proposed. To examine the interaction between body perception and anticipatory anxiety, two well-established paradigms were combined: The rubber hand illusion (RHI) and the threat-of-shock paradigm. An artificial hand and the participants' own hand (hidden from sight) were touched synchronously or asynchronously, while eithe...

Anticipatory time (e.g., prospective duration into the future) is one of the key pieces of information to be processed in intertemporal decisions decisions requiring a tradeoff between smaller sooner and larger delayed outcomes. Extensive research has examined human and animal perception of time as it is currently passing (i.e., experienced time) and time that has already passed (i.e., retrospe...

The dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) is a site of circadian clock gene and immediate early gene expression inducible by daytime restricted feeding schedules that entrain food anticipatory circadian rhythms in rats and mice. The role of the DMH in the expression of anticipatory rhythms has been evaluated using different lesion methods. Partial lesions created with the neurotoxin ibotenic acid (IBO...

Abstract: Lexical bundles, as building blocks of coherent discourse, have been the subject of much research in the last two decades. While many of such studies have been mainly concerned with  exploring  variations  in  the  use  of  these  word  sequences  across  different  registers  and disciplines, very few have addressed the use of some particular groups of lexical bundles within some gen...

This 1research examines the relationship between an anticipatory labial gesture and the perception of an upcoming rounded vowel. More specifically, the contribution of anticipatory coarticulation to the perception of the rounded vowel is examined in both the motoric and acoustic levels. The robustness of the temporal extent of the perceptual effect is also evaluated under increased speaking rat...

Social regulation of the internal milieu is a fundamental behavioral adaptation. Cephalic capability is reflected by anticipatory behaviors to serve systemic physiological regulation. Homeostatic regulation, a dominant perspective, reflects reactive responses; allostatic regulation, the physiology of change, emphasizes longer-term anticipatory, and feedforward systems. Steroids, such as cortiso...

Persistent computing systems are an infrastructure of computing anticipatory systems. The reactability of a persistent computing system, which is how many reactions of the system are active at a certain time, is the most important property to characterize the system. On the other hand, to be anticipatory, the reactability of a computing anticipatory system must be continuous. This paper propose...

To investigate which brain regions are involved in the anticipatory activity in rats restricted feeding for 2 hr, we examined cFos expression before and after feeding. Only the thalamic paraventricular nucleus (tPVN) showed c-Fos expression before feeding than after feeding. After the anticipatory locomotor activity rhythm was established, lesioning the tPVN attenuated this rhythm, but not the ...
