TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and ecdy consumption was evaluated on the changes in learning and memory functions, activities of hippocampal antioxidant enzymes, and neuronal population after AD induced by amyloid-beta (Aβ) in male rats.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight the need for a more nuanced understanding of how dietary factors influence these relationships, arguing that such knowledge will help improve clinical health outcomes in the management of both obesity and mood disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of the ketogenic diet (KD) on mice were evaluated to determine whether it can induce positive effects in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, addiction, autism or epilepsy.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a systematic search to identify studies that analyzed reward sensitivity as a predictor of eating behavior or obesity-related outcomes, and measured reward sensitivity using the SPSRQ or BIS/BAS Scale.

TL;DR: In this paper , an improved measure of adiposity (relative fat mass, RFM), as well as basal metabolic rate (BMR), was calculated, and the associations with personality traits' associations with RFM differ from their associations with BMI.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of melatonin on cognitive function under obesity conditions still need to be clarified, however, the results suggest that melatonin treatment could have a beneficial role in the treatment of cognitive impairment in obesity.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated whether VPA treatment ameliorated the synaptic plasticity dysfunction, hippocampal neuronal loss, and spatial memory deficits induced by cerebral ischemia in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model.

TL;DR: In this paper , a cross-sectional, retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in well-being among patients with olfactory disorder (OD) with quantitative and/or qualitative dysfunctions, and to identify factors associated with wellbeing (WB).

TL;DR: For example, this article found that emotional relief from stress by eating (decrease in negative affect from stress to post-eating) would moderate the extent to which heightened stress reactivity (measured by systolic blood pressure, SBP) moderates the relationship between self-reported emotional eating and food intake post-stress.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the influence of environmental soundscapes on explicit liking, explicit wanting, implicit wanting, choice frequency, and reaction time of healthy/unhealthy food using an online version of the Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire (LFPQ).

TL;DR: The negative impact of circadian rhythm disorders on tissues/organs has not been systematically analyzed as discussed by the authors , and therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate the damage caused by circadian rhythm disorder and explore the possible mechanisms.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that emotional relief from stress by eating (decrease in negative affect from stress to post-eating) would moderate the extent to which heightened stress reactivity (measured by systolic blood pressure, SBP) moderates the relationship between self-reported emotional eating and food intake post-stress.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors monitor the mental activation training during match pressure imageries using a protocol with (MT) and without mental training (wMT) performed in the office and on the tennis court based on the analysis of heart rate, brain waves and subjective ratings in a professional tennis player with high imagery experience.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of animal cognitive tests to evaluate memory and learning in humans has been presented, which can be used for studying normal and disordered learning and memory in humans.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of concurrent training (CT) versus AT or RT on CRF and muscular strength in middle-aged to older adults.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated building occupants' psychological adaptation to indoor climates in hot summer and cold winter, a long-term tracking survey within a year in a naturally ventilated building was conducted on a group of occupants from a college class in Nanjing situated in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter zone.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the potential mechanisms of melatonin involved in the treatment of depression and suggest that the psychotropic effects of agomelatine are induced by the synergistic interaction between melatonin and 5-HT2C receptors.

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of early handling on social interaction, learning, and memory in rats exposed pre-or postnatally to valproic acid (VPA) was studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of animal cognitive tests to evaluate different kinds of memory and learning has been presented, including open field habituation test, Y-maze test, passive avoidance test, step-down inhibitory avoidance test and active avoidance test.

TL;DR: Using anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) on frontal brain areas might be a promising strategy to mitigates mental fatigue and maintain endurance performance swimmers as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the relationship of TREM2, microglia activation and neuroinflammation in the development of Alzheimer's disease, followed by investigating why physical exercises improve cognition in the Alzheimer disease model by means of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) injection.

TL;DR: In a coffee tasting experiment, brain responses to origin information of 40 participants, grouped equally by gender and involvement level, were collected by electroencephalography to verify: the impact of the GI cue in four brain waves (alpha, beta, delta and theta) and two brain lobes (frontal and temporal) and preference; gender, and involvement moderations as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors tested the hypothesis that voluntary wheel running (VWR) during adolescence blocks the negative consequences of stress induced by intermittent repeated social defeat (IRSD), and the results support the idea that physical exercise promotes resilience to stress and represents an excellent target in drug abuse prevention.

TL;DR: In this article , a technique to continuously monitor the electric ventilatory signals in free-swimming zebrafish was developed, which was applied to monitoring ventilation activity as a physiological measure in conjunction with various behavioral measures in a novel tank environment.

TL;DR: In this paper , acute pulses of intranasal (IN) OXT influenced social behavior during social challenges that are likely to occur throughout the lifespan of a wild mouse (Peromyscus californicus), using a within-subjects longitudinal design.

TL;DR: In this article , three levels of enrichment were used, that were, collective conventional pens on slatted floor, the same pens with manipulable wood materials and distribution of straw pellets after the meals, and larger pens on deep straw litter.
