Music can effectively induce emotional arousal, which is associated with the release of stress hormones that are important for the emotional modulation of memory. Thus, music may serve as a powerful modulator of memory and mood, making it a promising therapeutic tool for memory and mood disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or depression. However, music's… Continue reading Fine-Tuning the Details: Post-encoding #Music Differentially Impacts General and Detailed #Memory
Exploring the link between daily job #burnout and violent #extremist attitudes: The role of negative affect and perceived organizational support
Objective: This study investigated whether daily experiences of job burnout are linked to violent extremist attitudes in the workplace, examining the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating influence of perceived organizational support. The theoretical framework integrates the existential model of burnout, significance quest theory, and general strain theory. Method: A 5-day daily-diary study… Continue reading Exploring the link between daily job #burnout and violent #extremist attitudes: The role of negative affect and perceived organizational support
The impact of #almond supplementation on #oxidative stress biomarkers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials
Oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, contributes to chronic diseases. Almonds, rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and monounsaturated fats, exhibit antioxidant potential, though their overall effects on oxidative biomarkers are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate almond supplementation’s impact on these biomarkers in adults. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Scopus, and… Continue reading The impact of #almond supplementation on #oxidative stress biomarkers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials
Digital #Eye #Strain Monitoring for One-Hour #Smartphone Engagement Through Eye Activity Measurement System
Smartphones have revolutionized our daily lives, becoming portable pocket computers with easy internet access. India, the second-highest smartphone and internet user, experienced a significant rise in smartphone usage between 2013 and 2024. Prolonged smartphone use, exceeding 20 min at a time, can lead to physical and mental health issues, including psychophysiological disorders. Digital devices and… Continue reading Digital #Eye #Strain Monitoring for One-Hour #Smartphone Engagement Through Eye Activity Measurement System
Decoding #memory function through naturalistic gaze patterns
#Eye movements are closely linked to encoding and retrieval processes, with changes in viewing behavior reflecting age- and pathology-related memory decline. In the current study, we leveraged this relationship to explore possible gaze-based indicators of memory function. Across two task-free viewing experiments, we investigated changes in naturalistic viewing behavior across five participant groups spanning a… Continue reading Decoding #memory function through naturalistic gaze patterns
#Cruciferous #vegetables intake and risk of #colon #cancer: a dose–response meta-analysis
Colon cancer (CC) is the third most diagnosed malignancy and second leading cause of cancer mortality globally, with ~ 1.9 million new cases and 903,859 deaths annually (Bray et al. in CA Cancer J Clin 68(6):394–424, 2018). Diet represents a key modifiable risk factor for CC pathogenesis (Herr and Buchler in Cancer Treat Rev 36:377–383, 2010). Cruciferous… Continue reading #Cruciferous #vegetables intake and risk of #colon #cancer: a dose–response meta-analysis
The Effects of the #Mediterranean Diet on #Health and Gut #Microbiota
The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is plant-based and consists of multiple daily portions of vegetables, fruit, cereals, and olive oil. Although there are challenges with isolating the MD from the typical Mediterranean lifestyle and culture (including prolonged ‘social’ meals and siestas), much evidence supports the health benefits of the MD that include improved longevity, reduced metabolic… Continue reading The Effects of the #Mediterranean Diet on #Health and Gut #Microbiota
Prospective associations of daily #step count and stepping intensity with overall and type-specific major adverse #cardiovascular events in people with #hypertension
To examine the dose-response associations of step count and stepping intensity with risk of cardiovascular mortality and incidence of heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke (major adverse cardiovascular events, MACE) in people with hypertension.Methods and resultsData were obtained from participants with established hypertension from the UK Biobank accelerometry sub-study. Participants wore a wrist-worn… Continue reading Prospective associations of daily #step count and stepping intensity with overall and type-specific major adverse #cardiovascular events in people with #hypertension
Human #thalamocortical structural connectivity develops in line with a hierarchical axis of #cortical plasticity
Human cortical development follows a hierarchical, sensorimotor-to-association sequence. The brain’s capacity to enact this sequence indicates that it relies on unknown mechanisms to regulate regional differences in the timing of cortical maturation. Given evidence from animal systems that thalamic axons mechanistically regulate periods of cortical plasticity, here we evaluate in humans whether the development of… Continue reading Human #thalamocortical structural connectivity develops in line with a hierarchical axis of #cortical plasticity
