Currently, qigong and tai chi exercises are the two most common preventive as well therapeutic interventions for chronic metabolic diseases such type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, quantitative evaluation of these is limited. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy intervention in middle-aged older adults with T2DM. The included 103 eligible participants, who were randomized participate 12 weeks, one following groups treatment T2DM: fitness qigong, chi, control group. Three biochemical...
Abstract Background Flight and freezing are two vital defensive behaviors that mice display to avoid natural enemies. When they exposed innate threats, visual cues processed transmitted by the system into emotional nuclei finally periaqueductal gray (PAG) induce behaviors. However, how dorsal PAG (dPAG) encodes is unclear. Methods Multi‐array electrodes were implanted in dPAG of C57BL/6 mice. Two kinds stimuli (looming sweeping) used Neural signals under different defense recorded, encoding...
Animals perceive threat information mainly from vision, and the subcortical visual pathway plays a critical role in rapid processing of fear information. The superior colliculus (SC) lateral posterior (LP) nuclei thalamus are key components pathway; however, how animals encode transmit is unclear. To evaluate response characteristics neurons SC LP thalamic under stimuli, extracellular action potentials (spikes) local field potential (LFP) signals were recorded looming dimming stimuli....
