Maternal antecedents to adolescent girls’ neural regulation of emotion
… patterns of functional connectivity during the regulation of emotions, reflecting differences in psychological and emotional functioning. The purpose of this study was to identify possible contributors to these individual differences by investigating the role of maternal emotional resources, in …

The neural regulation of fatherhood, insights from the anemonfish amphiprion ocellaris
… of research directed at understating the neural control of parental care has focused on females. Female care, or maternal care, is far more common among the common animal research models, and hence our understanding of its proximate regulatory mechanisms is well beyond our comprehension of …

Exercise Induced Plasticity in Central Neural Regulation of Cardiovascular Functioning in Hypertensive Rats
… exercise have the ability to affect central neural regulation of cardiovascular function in hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that the central nervous system may play a larger role in mediating the positive cardiovascular effects of exercise than previously thought.

The interaction between exercise induced muscle damage and fatigue on neural regulation and exercise performance during submaximal and maximal running
Aim: To study the effects of muscle damage and fatigue on neuromuscular preactivation and performance during submaximal and maximal running. Setting: University of Cape Town, Sports Science Institute of South Africa. Methods: 12 male distance runners (19 - 39 years of age) with a minimum weekly …

Heartbeat rate modulation mediated by the ventral nerve cord in the honey bee, APIS MELLIFERA
… Modulation is considered to occur via either neural or neurohormonal mechanisms but there is little existing data of the type necessary for proving one mechanism or the other. Using the recording technique of impedance conversion, heartbeat patterns were established for intact Honey Bees …

SIK-mediated regulation of feeding behavior and fat metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
… control that the nervous system retains on fat regulation in peripheral tissues is undefined. Oil Red-O, a lipophilic dye used to quantify fat stores, has shown that mutation of the sole Salt-Inducible Kinase (SIK) ortholog (kin-29) in Caenorhabditis elegans produces an increase in fat stores. …

Development of a novel screening platform for identifying genetic pathways regulating axon regeneration
… can promote or inhibit axonal regrowth after neural damage. Given that neurons have polarized morphology with distinct cellular compartments, microfluidic platforms had gained considerable impact in neuroscience research. Furthermore, disrupting gene expression is a common approach to …

The contribution of childhood negative emotionality and cognitive control to anxiety-linked neural dysregulation of emotion in adolescence
… elevated emotional reactivity and poor emotion regulation are thought to contribute to the rise in rates of internalizing psychopathology, including anxiety, during adolescence, little research has examined factors predicting individual differences in the neural regulation of emotion that can …

Autocrine regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in immortalized hypothalamic GT1-7 neurons
… synaptic connections of GnRH neurons with other neural elements made it difficult to determine whether the regulation was mediated by direct actions on the GnRH neurons or through actions on other interneurons. The recent development of the GnRH-secreting neuronal cell line, GT1, provided a model …

Role of Histamine, and Its Interaction With Corticotropin Releasing Factor and Bombesin in Food Intake Regulation of Chickens
… factor (CRF) and bombesin (BM) in food intake regulation of chickens. The hypothesis being tested was as follows: One component of the neuroregulation of food intake involves histaminergic activity in the hypothalamus, acting on either H1 or H2 receptors, how these receptors interact with CRF …

Brain derived neurotrophic factor and structural vascular disease in black Africans : the SABPA study
… findings of BDNF revealed the impact of central neural regulation on the circulatory system, which may contribute to cardiometabolic risk in Africans.

Restriction of Food Intake by Dorsomedial Hypothalamus
… reducing food intake. These findings reveal that neural pathways activated by acute increases of food intake can restrain food intake independent of metabolic state. This finding has potential implications for an understanding of binge eating and other nutritional disorders.</p>

Heart Rate Variability analysis in patients undergoing local anesthesia
… aim in gaining information about the autonomic neural regulation of the heart. Assessment of HRV has been shown to aid clinical diagnosis and intervention strategies. However, there are quite a few conflicting reports on HRV that perhaps impede its use as a reliable clinical tool. The complex …
