Abstract Alcohol binge drinking is a pattern of heavy alcohol consumption that increasingly practiced by adolescents and young adults. Evidence indicates binges induce peripheral inflammation an exacerbated neuroimmune response may participate in alcohol‐induced cognitive/behavioral dysfunctions. Here, we recruited 20‐year‐old male female university students who were identified as drinkers for at least 2 years. Compared with controls, had elevated levels blood endotoxin upregulated markers...

Abstract Adolescence is a period of ongoing brain maturation characterized by hierarchical changes in the functional and structural networks. For this reason, young particularly vulnerable to toxic effects alcohol. Nowadays, binge drinking pattern alcohol consumption increasingly prevalent among adolescents. The aim present study evaluate evolution anatomical connectivity Default Mode Network (DMN) drinkers along two years. Magnetoencephalography signal during eyes closed resting state as...

High alcohol consumption by young people at weekends is a public health problem of considerable social and family importance. Chronic intake causes structural changes in the central nervous system, though effects are not uniform throughout brain. The prefrontal cortex (PC) has been reported to be one regions most sensitive prolonged ingestion.The chronic ethanol exposure have extensively studied. Our aim identify neuropsychological deficits PC function induced intermittent heavy drinking...

<title>Abstract</title> Heavy drinking during adolescence is associated to alterations in the electrophysiology of brain. However, some these are observable at pre-consumption stages. To identify brain activity profiles with alcohol consumption and address its causes, we examined power spectra functional excitation-inhibition ratio a cohort 55 adolescents within two-stage study separated by two-year follow-up. Our results indicate that power-spectra beta-band showed positive correlation use...

Alcohol consumption during adolescence has been associated with neuroanatomical abnormalities and the appearance of future disorders. However, latest advances in this field point to existence risk profiles which may lead some individuals into an early consumption. To date, studies have established predictive models based on sociodemographic, behavioral, anatomical–functional variables using MRI. neuroimaging employed are usually restricted local hemodynamic phenomena. Given potential...

Binge Drinking (BD) is a pattern of intermittent intensive alcohol intake which has spread among young adults over the last decades. Adolescence constitutes critical neuromaturation period in brain particularly sensitive to effects alcohol. However, little known about how BD affects activity. This study aimed characterize brain's functional organization and non-BD population by means analyzing connectivity (FC) relative power spectra (PS) profiles measured with magnetoencephalography (MEG)...

Alcohol consumption in adolescents causes negative effects on familiar, social, academic life as well neurocognitive alterations. The binge drinking (BD) pattern of alcohol is characterized by the alternation episodes heavy a short interval time, and periods abstinence, practice that can result important brain alterations; even more than regular consumption. prefrontal cortex, which acts neural support for executive processes, particularly affected alcohol; however, not all studies are...

Background: The prevalence of binge drinking has risen in recent years. It is associated with a range neurocognitive deficits among adolescents and young emerging adults who are especially vulnerable to alcohol use. Attention an essential dimension executive functioning attentional disturbances may be hazardous drinking. aim the study was examine oscillatory neural dynamics control during visual target detection as function Method: In total, 51 first-year university students (18 ± 0.6 years)...

Introduction Heavy drinking (HD) prevalent pattern of alcohol consumption among adolescents, particularly concerning because their critical vulnerability to the neurotoxic effects ethanol. Adolescent neurodevelopment is characterized by neurobiological changes prefrontal, temporal and parietal regions, important for development executive control processes, such as inhibitory (IC). In present Magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, we aimed describe relationship between electrophysiological...

Abstract Adolescent Binge Drinking (BD) has become an increasing health and social concern, with detrimental consequences for brain development functional integrity. However, research on neurophysiological neuropsychological traits predisposing to BD are limited at this time. In work, we conducted a 2‐year longitudinal magnetoencephalography (MEG) study over cohort of initially alcohol‐naïve adolescents the purpose exploring anomalies in resting‐state electrophysiological networks,...

In this paper, we propose a demand side management approach for smart grids. Our is based on incentive design in noncooperative games and allows to control the behavior of grid users an effort achieve efficient energy utilization matching supply with demand. We by means game theory. show that model guarantees existence Nash equilibrium corresponds strategy set choose minimize their cost-functions. A pricing mechanism used as tool ensure reaches value satisfying global objective expressed...

Adolescent brain may be particularly vulnerable to alcohol.&nbsp; Plus, psychopathological disorders tend emerge in this period. Consequently, early alcohol use increase the risk of disorders, with time and sex-dependent effects. However, few studies have analyzed relationship between consumption adolescent psychopathology general population. The objective was determine association age onset symptoms university students, separately for both sexes.A cross-sectional study involving first-year...

The area and number of silver-nucleolar organizer regions (Ag-NORs) in the hepatic lobes were determined 3 male Wistar rats. There was a statistically significant increase percentage Ag-NORs per nucleus right lateral caudate lobe relation to left middle lobes. are greater Since Ag-NOR is parameter which indicates hepatocytic protein synthesis, different activity corresponds each rat's liver makes it possible assume that there functional heterogeneity should be considered study regeneration...
