Mechanisms underlying training-induced cognitive change

Mechanisms of white matter change induced by meditation training

Training can induce changes in specific brain networks and changes in brain state. In both cases it has been found that the efficiency of white matter as measured by diffusion tensor imaging is increased, often after only a few hours of training. In this paper we consider a plausible molecular mechanism for how state change produced by meditation might lead to white matter change. According to ...

Mechanisms Underlying Leptin- induced Cardioprotection

Introduction Activation of the Reperfusion Injury SalvageKinase (RISK) pathway, which incorporates phosphatidyli-nositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K)-Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) andp44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), underliesprotection against ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Thetemporal nature of the activation of these RISK pathwaycomponents during reperfusion ...

Cognitive Mechanisms Underlying Virtual Reality Exposure

Many studies have assessed virtual reality exposures efficacy, but very few examined its treatment processes. The addition of objective measures of arousal and information processing mechanisms would be a valuable contribution in order to provide a more complete and detailed picture. The goal of this study was to better document the cognitive mechanisms associated with therapeutic change after ...
