Frontiers | Mental training as a tool in the neuroscientific study of brain and cognitive plasticity | Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
frontiersin.org — “Although the adult brain was once seen as a rather static organ, it is now clear that the organization of brain circuitry is constantly changing as a function of experience or learning. Yet, research also shows that learning is often specific to the trained stimuli and task, and does not improve performance on novel tasks, even very similar ones. This perspective examines the idea that systematic mental training, as cultivated by meditation, can induce learning that is not stimulus or task speci” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | Regulation by Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 of Inflammation and T Cells in CNS Diseases | Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
frontiersin.org — “Elevated markers of neuroinflammation have been found to be associated with many psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, such as mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Since neuroinflammation is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of these diseases and to impair responses to therapeutic interventions and recovery, it is important to identify mechanisms that regulate neuroinflammation and potential targets for controlling neuroinflammation. Recent findings have ” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | The Selfish Brain: Stress and Eating Behavior | Frontiers in Neuroscience
frontiersin.org — “The brain occupies a special hierarchical position in human energy metabolism. If cerebral homeostasis is threatened, the brain behaves in a "selfish" manner by competing for energy resources with the body. Here we present a logistic approach, which is based on the principles of supply and demand known from economics. In this "cerebral supply chain" model, the brain constitutes the final consumer. In order to illustrate the operating mode of the cerebral supply chain, we take” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | Younger but Not Older Adults Benefit from Salient Feedback during Learning | Frontiers in Cognition
frontiersin.org — “Older adults are impaired in reinforcement learning (RL) when feedback is partially ambiguous (e.g., Eppinger and Kray, 2011). In this study we examined whether older adults benefit from salient feedback information during learning. We used an electrophysiological approach and investigated 15 younger and 15 older adults with a RL task in which they had to learn stimulus-response associations under two learning conditions. In the positive learning conditions, participants could gain 50 Cents for ” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | Passive hand movements disrupt adults’ counting strategies | Frontiers in Cognition
frontiersin.org — “In the present study, we experimentally tested the role of hand motor circuits in simple-arithmetic strategies. Educated adults solved simple additions (e.g., 8+3) or simple subtractions (e.g., 11–3) while they were required to retrieve the answer from long-term memory (e.g., knowing that 8+3 = 11), to transform the problem by making an intermediate step (e.g., 8+3 = 8+2+1 = 10+1 = 11) or to count one-by-one (e.g., 8+3 = 8…9…10…11). During the process of solving the arithmetic problems, the expe” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | Large-scale analysis of gene expression and connectivity in the rodent brain: insights through data integration | Frontiers in Neuroinformatics
frontiersin.org — “Recent research in C. elegans and the rodent has identified correlations between gene expression and connectivity. Here we extend this type of approach to examine complex patterns of gene expression in the rodent brain in the context of regional brain connectivity and differences in cellular populations. Using multiple large-scale data sets obtained from public sources, we identified two novel patterns of mouse brain gene expression showing a strong degree of anti-correlation, and relate this to” View full resource at frontiersin.org

frontiersin.org — “Filamentous tau inclusions are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative tauopathies, but the molecular mechanisms involved in tau mediated changes in neuronal function and their possible effects on synaptic transmission are unknown. We have evaluated the effects of human tau protein injected directly into the presynaptic terminal axon of the squid giant synapse, which affords functional, structural, and biochemical analysis of its action on the synaptic release process” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | The Cerebellum: A Neural System for the Study of Reinforcement Learning | Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
frontiersin.org — “In its strictest application, the term --reinforcement learning-- refers to a computational approach to learning in which an agent (often a machine) interacts with a mutable environment to maximize reward through trial and error. The approach borrows essentials from several fields, most notably Computer Science, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Psychology. At the most basic level, a neural system capable of mediating reinforcement learning must be able to acquire sensory information about the extern” View full resource at frontiersin.org

frontiersin.org — “FXYD proteins, small single-transmembrane proteins, have been proposed to be auxiliary regulatory subunits of Na+-K+-ATPase and have recently been implied in ion osmoregulation of teleost fish. In freshwater (FW) fish, numerous ions are actively taken up through mitochondrion-rich cells (MRCs) of the gill and skin epithelia, using the Na+ electrochemical gradient generated by Na+-K+-ATPase. In the present study, to understand the molecular mechanism for the regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase in MRCs of” View full resource at frontiersin.org

frontiersin.org — “A cross-cultural survey was used to examine two hypotheses designed to link culture to well-being and health. The first hypothesis states that people are motivated toward prevalent cultural mandates of either independence (personal control) in the United States or interdependence (relational harmony) in Japan. As predicted, Americans with compromised personal control and Japanese with strained relationships reported high perceived constraint. The second hypothesis holds that people achieve well-” View full resource at frontiersin.org

Frontiers | Neural Markers of Opposite-Sex Bias in Face Processing | Frontiers in Perception Science
frontiersin.org — “Some behavioral and neuroimaging studies suggest that adults prefer to view attractive faces of the opposite sex more than attractive faces of the same sex. However, unlike the other-race face effect (ORE; Caldara et al., 2004), little is known regarding the existence of an opposite-/same-sex bias in face processing. In this study, the faces of 130 attractive male and female adults were foveally presented to 40 heterosexual university students (20 men and 20 women) who were engaged in a secondar” View full resource at frontiersin.org
