Background Research has advanced in revealing psychological and brain mechanisms empathy-compassion experience. However, much of this research been constrained by using non-ecologically valid, non-interactive experimental paradigms, as well a lack in-depth investigation into participants’ subjective experiences. Objective This study aims to bridge these gaps examining experiences within an interactive setting. Methods Forty-two participants engaged 90-s, face-to-face interaction with actor...

Although the accumulation of a misfolded and protease-resistant form prion protein (PrP) is key event in pathogenesis, cellular factors involved its folding quality control are poorly understood. PrP glycosylated disulfide-bonded synthesized at endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER foldase ERp57 (also known as Grp58) highly expressed brain sporadic infectious forms prion-related disorders. disulfide isomerase subset glycoproteins part calnexin/calreticulin cycle. Here, we show that levels...

ERp57 (also known as grp58 and PDIA3) is a protein disulfide isomerase that catalyzes bonds formation of glycoproteins part the calnexin calreticulin cycle. markedly upregulated in most common neurodegenerative diseases downstream endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Despite accumulating correlative evidence supporting neuroprotective role ERp57, contribution this foldase to physiology nervous system remains unknown. Here we developed transgenic mouse model overexpresses under control...

Research suggests that mindfulness-practices may aid smoking cessation. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying effects of on are unclear. Response inhibition is a main deficit in addiction, associated with relapse, and could therefore be candidate target for mindfulness-based practices. The current study hence investigated brief mindfulness-practice response smokers using behavioral electroencephalography (EEG) measures. Fifty participants (33 females, mean age 20 years old) underwent...

Interest in the applications of mindfulness practice education is growing scientific community. Recent research has shown that schools may be beneficial for executive functions (EFs) which are abilities crucial healthy development. The study effects practices on children's neural correlates EFs, particularly inhibitory control, provide relevant information about impact and mechanisms mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) children. aim present was to investigate a MBI elementary school...

Response inhibition - the ability to suppress inappropriate thoughts and actions is a fundamental aspect of cognitive control. Recent research suggests that mental training by meditation may improve Yet, it still unclear if how, at neural level, long-term practice affect (emotional) response inhibition. The present study aimed address this outstanding question, used an emotional Go/Nogo task electroencephalography (EEG) examine possible differences in behavioral electrophysiological indices...

Introduction The main objective of the study will be to evaluate effects two widely used standardized mindfulness-based programs [Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT)], on epigenetic, neurobiological, psychological, physiological variables. Methods offered in an intensive retreat format a general population sample healthy volunteer adults. During 7-day retreat, participants receive MBSR CCT crossover design where complete both random order....

SYNOPSIS The object of this work is to determine if Brain Mapping can reveal significant differences between a normal control group and e whose members suffer from one three types headache: tension‐type, migraine with aura without aura. Both groups were formed by children aged 6 14; the latter undergoing no treatment in headache‐free phase. Results demonstrate that there are tension‐type headache group. Neither found but was an increase theta/alpha ratio temporal posterior occipital zones....

Abstract Objectives Compassion-based interventions (CBIs) are effective in promoting mental health. However, the mechanisms through which CBIs produce these positive outcomes not fully known. The amount of meditation practice has been associated with but role quality yet explored. Thus, addition to examining contribution Compassion Practice Quality Scale (CPQS) predicting main a CBI (compassion cultivation training), current study explored scale’s construct validity and sensitivity change....
