The impact of cryotherapy versus placebo interventions on recovery following strenuous exercise, and adaptations to resistance training
… the impact of repeated cryotherapy exposure on adaptations to training. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to compare the effectiveness of CWI, WBC and placebo interventions on acute recovery following endurance and resistance exercise, and to examine the impact of habitual CWI on adaptations …

Loss of muscle strength and power in older women and adaptation to resistance training
… men for age-related disability, and some of the adaptations in response to resistance training. The initial study showed that it is not only a smaller contractile muscle volume, estimated separately from the intramuscular non-contractile tissue, which accounts for differences in quadriceps muscle …

USING SHORT-TERM BEHAVIORAL SELECTION TO EVALUATE THE HERITABILITY OF ETHANOL-INDUCED LOCOMOTOR SENSITIZATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ETHANOL’S POSITIVE MOTIVATIONAL EFFECTS IN MICE
… susceptibility to ethanol-induced behavioral and neural adaptations. Additionally, the lack of line differences in ethanol-induced CPP, and the observation that CPP and ethanol sensitization are dissociable, suggests that 1) different genes regulate these two behaviors and 2) the utility of …

The effects of chronic intermittent ethanol exposure on fear conditioning in rats: an investigation of the comorbidity of PTSD and AUD
… of these disorders, little is known about the neural substrates responsible for the frequent co-occurrence of these disorders. In particular, it is unknown whether or not AUD develops as a means of self-medication of PTSD symptoms or if there is an underlying mechanism of vulnerability to both …

Parsing Distinct Aspects of the Addiction Process Using Cocaine Self-Administration, Behavioral Economics, Neuropharmacology and Neurochemistry
… scientists have begun to investigate the neural adaptations occurring in association with changes in behavior observed in animal models of addiction. Exactly how these behavioral changes relate to the addiction process, however, remains unclear. Two behavioral changes that are well …

Hypothalamic control of energy rheostasis during metabolic challenges, pregnancy, and lactation
… respond to energetic demands changes, yet the neural circuits that allow adaptation to energy imbalance are not fully understood. The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) has been shown to play an important role in energy rheostasis, with global constitutive MC3R deletion of the gene impairing …

Exploring Game Transfer Phenomena: a multimodal research approach for investigating video games' effects
… in cognitive and control inhibition, and neural adaptations, (iii) age and occupation, having a medical condition, gamer type, session length, playing for escape, immersion, exploring, customization and rules and mechanics were significantly associated with GTP, and (iv) the appraisal of …

Neurophysiological Adaptations to Resistance Training and Repetitive Grasping
… to better understand adaptive processes. Neural adaptations accompany resistance training, but current evidence regarding the nature of these adaptations is best characterized as indirect, particularly with respect to adaptation within central or supraspinal centers: 56). To this end, we …

Neuromuscular adaptations of joint angle-specific force change after isometric training
… fascicle length (Lf) and muscle activation adaptations. For this, the validity and reliability of a two-dimensional extended-field-of-view ultrasonography (EFOV) method for measuring muscle CSA (Study 1) and Lf (Study 2) were examined. Small standard errors of measurement (SEM) and high …

Potential benefits and neural correlates of acupuncture treatment with or without physiotherapy on resting state functional connectivity in ischemic stroke patients with unilateral limb dysfunction
… cingulate sulcus, which are involved in neural recovery and cognitive improvement. In contrast, the SA+PT group exhibited RSFC decreases within somatosensory and visual networks, indicating a different pattern of neural recognition. After treatment, patients in the TA+PT group exhibited …
