Unpleasant emotion inhibits attentional focus toward a peripheral target in a visual search: an ERP study Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Motoyuki Sanada, Jun’ichi Katayama
Previous studies have found that emotional states affect the extent of attention, and the effect has been explained by adaptive views. If the adaptive explanations are true, emotion should modulate attentional focus toward a peripheral stimulus. The present study investigated if emotion affects the focus of attention toward a peripheral target in a visual search paradigm with event-related brain potential

Healthy adults favor stable left/right hand choices over performance at an unconstrained reach-to-grasp task Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Taewon Kim, Ruiwen Zhou, Samah Gassass, Téa Soberano, Lei Liu, Benjamin A. Philip
Reach-to-grasp actions are fundamental to the daily activities of human life, but few methods exist to assess individuals’ reaching and grasping actions in unconstrained environments. The Block Building Task (BBT) provides an opportunity to directly observe and quantify these actions, including left/right hand choices. Here we sought to investigate the motor and non-motor causes of left/right hand

Total sleep deprivation effects on the attentional blink Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-02
Abstract The Attentional Blink (AB) is a phenomenon that reflects difficulty in detecting or identifying the second of two successive targets (T1 and T2) that are presented in rapid succession, between 200-500ms apart. The AB involves indicators of attentional and temporal integration mechanisms related to the early stages of visual processing. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of 24-h

Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in a rat model of cerebral small vessel disease Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-02
Abstract Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is increasingly being recognized as a leading contributor to cognitive impairment in the elderly. However, there is a lack of effective preventative or therapeutic options for CSVD. In this exploratory study, we investigated the interplay between neuroinflammation and CSVD pathogenesis as well as the cognitive performance, focusing on NLRP3 signaling as

The center of a face catches the eye in face perception Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Toshikazu Kawagoe, Wataru Teramoto
Using the “Don’t look” (DL) paradigm, wherein participants are asked not to look at a specific feature (i.e., eye, nose, and mouth), we previously documented that Easterners struggled to completely avoid fixating on the eyes and nose. Their underlying mechanisms for attractiveness may differ because the fixations on the eyes were triggered only reflexively, whereas fixations on the nose were consistently

The impact of weight and negative body image on the body schema in undergraduate women Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Jean-David Boucher, Jessica Bourgin, Johana Lassiaz, Klervi Propice, Morgane Metral
Background and Objectives Alterations of the sensory-motor body schema question the origins of such distortions. For example, in anorexia nervosa where patients think they are broader than they really are (body image) but act as if it was really the case (body schema). To date, the results of studies about what hinders the updating of the body schema so much (weight, body image) have been contradictory

Gaze data of 4243 participants shows link between leftward and superior attention biases and age Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-31 Christoph Strauch, Alex J. Hoogerbrugge, Antonia F. Ten Brink
Healthy individuals typically show more attention to the left than to the right (known as pseudoneglect), and to the upper than to the lower visual field (known as altitudinal pseudoneglect). These biases are thought to reflect asymmetries in neural processes. Attention biases have been used to investigate how these neural asymmetries change with age. However, inconsistent results have been reported

Exercise-induced central and peripheral sympathetic activity in a community-based group of epilepsy patients differ from healthy controls Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-29
Abstract Ictal and interictal activity within the autonomic nervous system is characterized by a sympathetic overshoot in people with epilepsy. This autonomic dysfunction is assumed to be driven by alterations in the central autonomic network. In this study, exercise-induced changes of the interrelation of central and peripheral autonomic activity in patients with epilepsy was assessed. 21 patients

Working memory load modulates anticipatory postural adjustments during step initiation Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-25
Abstract Working memory (WM) can influence selective attention. However, the effect of WM load on postural standing tasks has been poorly understood, even though these tasks require attentional resources. The purpose of this study was to examine whether WM load would impact anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) during step initiation. Sixteen healthy young adults performed stepping tasks alone or

A computational model of motion sickness dynamics during passive self-motion in the dark Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-15
Abstract Predicting the time course of motion sickness symptoms enables the evaluation of provocative stimuli and the development of countermeasures for reducing symptom severity. In pursuit of this goal, we present an Observer-driven model of motion sickness for passive motions in the dark. Constructed in two stages, this model predicts motion sickness symptoms by bridging sensory conflict (i.e.,

Effects of the perceived temporal distance of events on mental time travel and on its underlying brain circuits Exp. Brain Res. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-15
Abstract Mental Time Travel (MTT) allows us to remember past events and imagine future ones. According to previous literature, the Temporal Distance of events affects MTT: our ability to order events worsens for close, compared to far, events. However, those studies established distances a-priori, albeit the way we perceive events’ temporal distance may subjectively differ from their objective distance

Abstract The use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for brain imaging during human movement continues to increase. This technology measures brain activity non-invasively using near-infrared light, is highly portable, and robust to motion artifact. However, the spatial resolution of fNIRS is lower than that of other imaging modalities. It is unclear whether fNIRS has sufficient spatial
