The importance of the exposome and allostatic load in the planetary health paradigm
In 1980, Jonas Salk (1914 –1995) encouraged professionals in anthropology and related disciplines to consider the interconnections between “planetary health,” sociocultural changes associated with technological... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

l-Menthol attenuates the magnitude of cold-induced vasodilation on the extremities of young females
Menthol chemically triggers cold-sensitive receptors in the skin without conductive skin cooling. We investigated the effects of menthol-induced activation of cutaneous cold receptors on the cold-induced vasod... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Impact of a single, short morning bright light exposure on tryptophan pathways and visuo- and sensorimotor performance: a crossover study
Bright light (BL) has been shown to be effective in enhancing both cognitive and physical performances. Alterations in nighttime melatonin levels have also been observed. However, evaluations of light-induced ... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Serotonergic gene polymorphisms (5-HTTLPR, 5HTR1A, 5HTR2A), and population differences in aggression: traditional (Hadza and Datoga) and industrial (Russians) populations compared
Current knowledge on genetic basis of aggressive behavior is still contradictory. This may be due to the fact that the majority of studies targeting associations between candidate genes and aggression are cond... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Enhanced Nogo-P3 amplitudes of mothers compared with non-mother women during an emotional Go/Nogo task
It is known that emotion regulatory responses of humans are changed by the experiences they have, but in particular, they are changed by becoming a mother. A recent study has found how a woman ’s emotion regula... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)
