Cardiac-sympathetic contractility and neural alpha-band power: cross-modal collaboration during approach-avoidance conflict

This study investigates how cardiac-sympathetic activity and neural alpha-band power interact during approach-avoidance conflict, showing their collaborative role in managing reward sensitivity.

Menstrual cycle-driven hormone concentrations co-fluctuate with white and grey matter architecture changes across the whole brain

This study shows that menstrual cycle hormones correlate with changes in brain structure across the whole brain in naturally cycling women.

RALF peptides modulate immune response in the moss Physcomitrium patens

This study investigates the role of RALF peptides in modulating immune response in the moss Physcomitrium patens, finding that PpRALF2 and PpRALF3 knockout lines show increased resistance to pathogens.

Trans-Radial Electrical Bioimpedance Velocimetry: A Novel Method for Detecting Cardiac Contractility

This paper introduces a novel device, TREV, that measures cardiac impedance from the forearm to detect cardiac contractility during sympathetic drive tasks, showing reliable group-level responses.

An Accelerometer Based Heart Monitor to Measure Changes of the Autonomic Nervous System

This paper introduces a wearable heart monitor using an accelerometer to measure autonomic nervous system activity by tracking cardiac features like PEP and LVET, showing it is reliable and efficient compared to traditional ICG methods.

Sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement in time constrained sequential foraging

The paper investigates how sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic responses influence sequential foraging decisions, finding that sympathetic activity helps overcome learning biases in deteriorating environments.
