Repeated Low-Dose Lipopolysaccharide Pretreatment Improves Behavioral Abnormalities and Aberrant Immune Responses Induced by Repeated Social Defeat Stress Background Stress significantly impacts human health, with chronic stress particularly inducing various physiological and psychological disorders. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is...

Academic Report Research Background In recent years, there has been growing interest in individual differences within the fields of psychology and cognitive neuroscience. However, many studies face a replication crisis, particularly evident in research exploring brain-behavior correlations. A key element for replicable individual differences resear...

Humans Need Auditory Experience to Produce Typical Volitional Nonverbal Vocalizations Introduction This research paper explores whether humans require auditory input to produce nonverbal emotional expressions (such as screams and cries). While these nonverbal vocalizations seem to have a strong reflexive basis, many emotional vocalizations are unde...

Research Report on the Long-term Relationship between Time Perspective and Life Satisfaction in Adulthood Research Background Time perspective is an important predictor of human well-being. However, time perspective itself changes with development. A future-dominated time perspective gradually gives way to a present and past-focused perspective as ...

Background Introduction In the human visual system, the understanding and navigation of natural scenes are exceptionally outstanding in terms of both complexity and efficiency. This process requires the transformation of incoming sensory information into visual features ranging from low-level to high-level, such as edges, object parts, and objects ...

The Mediating Role of Systemic Inflammation in the Differences in Cognitive Disease Incidence and the Moderating Role of Racialization This study examines the link between systemic racism and the increased burden of cognitive disease. Researchers investigated the mediating role of C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of systemic inflammation in the...

Study on the Impact of Poverty on Mental Illness: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis Based on the UK Biobank This article aims to explore the causal relationship between poverty and mental illness. Although many studies have shown an association between low socioeconomic status and mental illnesses, most studies have failed to determine whether pov...

Research Background: Suicide is a global public health challenge, but there is still significant uncertainty regarding the relationship between behavioral and physiological factors and suicide attempts (SA). Previous studies often focus on limited hypothesized factors such as mental illnesses (e.g., depression), personality and psychological traits...

Scientific Report Background Introduction Perception and neuronal processing of sensory information are largely influenced by prior expectations. Perception is not merely passive reception, but an active inferential process by combining existing sensory information with prior information based on past experience and current context. The combination...

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans Navigation is one of the core components of human complex cognition, where head direction information is crucial for positioning oneself in space. However, due to the requirement of having the head fixed in a specific position during most neuroimaging experiments, understanding h...
