<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> The rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a serious incident, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with high fatality and morbidity rates. Because the demand for radiologic examinations steadily growing, physician fatigue due to increased workload real concern may lead mistaken diagnoses potentially relevant findings. Our aim was develop sufficient system automated detection aneurysms. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> In retrospective study, we established...

Hyperscanning has allowed neuroscience to expand investigations into neuronal activation during social interactions. Rather than analyzing how a single brain responds, we can compare interactions and even synchronization between multiple actors in varying situations. This technique is commonly employed using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Specifically, cooperation competition have been thoroughly investigated this approach. While magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based...

Obesity is a major health concern in modern societies. Although decreased physical activity and enhanced intake of high-caloric foods are important risk factors for developing obesity, human behavior during eating also plays role. Previous studies have shown that distraction while increases food leads to impaired processing stimuli. As olfaction the most sense involved flavor perception, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques investigate influence cognitive memory load on...

Introduction The Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) is a well-established tool for assessing provocation-induced reactive aggression. We introduce an interactive version, the iTAP, with real-time opponents across 60 trials, including five simulated provocation trials in middle. In this quasi-experimental study, we evaluate effectiveness of paradigm to investigate aggression interacting participants. design allows us employ TAP settings high familiarity dyads, addressing existing gap. Method...

Previous research has shown that humans struggle to interpret multiple perceptual signals when the information provided by these is incongruent. In context of olfactory-visual integration, behavioral and neuronal differences in response congruent incongruent stimulus pairs have been established. Here, we explored functional connectivity human brain with regard perception food stimuli. Participants were simultaneously presented olfactory visual stimuli 4 different objects, 2 healthy unhealthy...

Abstract In traditional game theory tasks, social decision‐making is centered on the prediction of intentions (i.e., mentalizing) strangers or manipulated responses. contrast, real‐life scenarios often involve familiar individuals in dynamic environments. Further research needed to explore neural correlates with changes available information and environmental settings. This study collected fMRI hyperscanning data ( N = 100, 46 same‐sex pairs were analyzed) investigate sibling engaging an...

Siblings strongly influence each other in their social development and are a major source of support conflict. Yet, studies mostly observational, little is known about how adult sibling relationships behavior. Previous tasks exploring dynamically adjusting interactions have limitations the level interactivity naturalism interaction. To address these limitations, we created cooperative tetris puzzle-solving task an interactive version chicken game task. We validated two to study competitive...

Brain insulin reactivity has been reported in connection with systematic energy metabolism, enhancement cognition, olfactory sensitivity, and neuroendocrine circuits. High receptor densities exist regions important for sensory processing. The main aim of the study was to examine whether intranasal would modulate activity areas charge olfactory-visual integration.

Abstract Eucalyptol is a substance with rather pleasant olfactory and trigeminal characteristics thus suggested as an efficient tool for malodor coverage. In this study ammonia would be the such found in cat litter or hair coloration. We investigated potential of eucalyptol to inhibit both well sensation ammonia. For purpose, we mixed compared odor component intensities. After being presented either pure odors binary mixture thereof, 21 young healthy participants had lateralize rate...

Odor masking is a very prominent problem in our daily routines, mainly concerning unpleasant sweat or toilet odors. In the current study we explored effectiveness of odor both on behavioral and neuronal level. By definition, participants cannot differentiate fully-masked from pleasant pure used as agent We hypothesized, however, that one can still discriminate between mixture level that, using reinforcing feedback paradigm, could be trained to perceive this difference. A pleasant, lemon-like...

Insulin receptors are present in brain areas that involved the control of hunger and satiety, intranasal insulin is assumed to have an anorexigenic effect. This known influence on satiety encouraged us investigate effect feeding-related behaviors. The aim current study was explore 40 IU grocery shopping behavior cookie consumption a group 30 healthy young men, using crossover randomized double-blind design. Using virtual mock supermarket, we tested whether administration influences purchase...

Abstract Due to the complex stimulation methods required, olfaction and touch are 2 relatively understudied senses in field of perceptual (neuro-)science. In order establish a consistent presentation method for bimodal these senses, we combined an olfactometer with newly developed Unimodal Tactile Stimulation Device. This setup allowed us study influence on tactile perception opened up unexplored research by examining crossmodal stimuli olfaction. Using pseudorandomized design, analyzed how...

The Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP) is a well-established tool for assessing provocation-induced reactive aggression. We introduce an interactive version, the iTAP, where real-time opponents replace simulations, while five trials utilize simulated provocation. To evaluate this paradigm, twenty-eight healthy adult sibling pairs competed against each other in iTAP. increased during manipulated trials, persisted real interaction and declined final block, suggesting co-regulation without gender...
