Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine physiological, perceptual, and affective responses during self-paced walking for three age groups. 66 adult women were assigned into three groups by age: 20-25 yr. (n=22), 30-35 yr. (n=22), and 40-45 yr. (n=22). Each participant completed a maximal exercise test and a 20-min. bout of walking at a self-selected pace. The preferred walking speed was similar for all age groups, whereas physiological responses relative to maximal and ventilatory threshold values were greater in the 40-45 yr. group than the other two groups. Nevertheless, perceptual and affective responses were similar for all age groups. These findings suggest that physiological responses, but not perceptual and affective responses, of sedentary women are associated with age during walking at a self-selected pace.

Introduction: While physiological predictors like maximal oxygen uptake and lactate threshold are well established in cycling, psychological factors such as affective load and effort perception remain less studied.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the possible differences in psychophysiological responses between professional and national-level cyclists during a race simulation.
Methods: Twenty-four male cyclists (12 professionals and 12 national level) matched for V˙O2max (75.

Background: Specific phobia (SP) is a prevalent mental disorder for which exposure-based treatments are the most effective. Little is known about the intrinsic functional connectivity of SP and its modification by treatment. While previous studies were limited to a priori-defined brain regions, we used connectome-wide analyses to capture the full extent of altered functional connectivity.

Humans continuously decide where to look to gather task-relevant information. While affective rewards such as money are known to bias gaze direction, it remains unclear whether non-affective informational value can similarly shape oculomotor decisions. Here, we modulated the availability of task-relevant visual information at saccade targets by probabilistically varying its presentation duration, in a perceptual judgment task performed by human participants.

This study investigated the cognitive profiles of Italian university students with dyslexia using the WAIS-IV, comparing them to peers without specific learning disorders. Seventy-one participants took part: 36 with a diagnosis of dyslexia and 35 matched controls. While dyslexic adults showed lower Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) scores compared to controls, their scores remained within the average range.

Postoperative reduction in appetite perception, conceptualized as an interplay between emotion, perception, and cognition, may lead to adverse nutritional outcomes. However, an increasing body of research suggests that it may serve as an adaptive mechanism to inhibit inflammatory responses and regulate metabolic burden. This review comprehensively summarizes the multifaceted mechanisms underlying postoperative changes in appetite perception, particularly from the perspectives of immune regulation, inflammatory suppression, and metabolic reprogramming.
