Face Motion Form at Learning Influences the Time Course of Face Spatial Frequency Processing during Test
Biol Psychol. 2023 Sep 23:108691. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108691. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies that use static faces suggest that facial processing follows a coarse-to-fine sequence; i.e., holistic precedes featural processing, due to low and high spatial frequencies (LSF, HSF) transmitting holistic/global and featural/local information respectively. Although recent studies have focused on the role of facial movement in holistic facial processing, it is unclear whether moving faces have the same processing mechanism as static ones, especially in the time course of processing. The current study uses the event...

Neural mechanisms of priming effects of spicy food pictures induced analgesia
In this study, the effects of the priming of spicy food pictures on pain perception were evaluated in female participants using standardized methods of pain. Results from behavior tests revealed that the priming of spicy food pictures significantly reduced pain perception, particularly at high-pain intensities. Electrophysiological analysis showed that the analgesic effects of spicy food pictures were linked to decreased pain-related event-related potentials, such as N2 and P2 amplitudes, and suppressed θ-oscillations in the sensorimotor cortex. Both N2 amplitudes and θ-oscillations activities were found to be correlated...

Sympathetic nervous system responses to acute psychosocial stress in male physicians with clinical burnout
CONCLUSIONS: Burnout may be linked to dysfunction of the sympathoadrenal medullary (SAM) system, when exposed to acute psychosocial stress. In keeping with the allostatic load concept, an insufficient SAM stress response in burnout could potentially contribute to cardiovascular disease.PMID:37716520 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108687 (Source: Biological Psychology)

Associations between maternal stress and infant resting brain activity among families residing in poverty in the U.S
Biol Psychol. 2023 Sep 14:108683. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108683. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGrowing evidence suggests that maternal experiences of stress shape children's functional brain activity in the first years of life. Individuals living in poverty are more likely to experience stress from a variety of sources. However, it is unclear how stress is related to resting brain activity among children born into poverty. The present study examines whether infants born into households experiencing poverty show differences in brain activity associated with maternal reports of experiencing stress. The analytic sample...
