Article Abstract

Emotional habituation, a basic form of neural plasticity, regulates emotions adaptively, yet its role in stress resilience remains unclear. This study integrated laboratory-based EEG habituation measures and ecological experience sampling to examine valence-specific habituation as a resilience factor against daily life stress in 69 undergraduates. Habituation slopes were derived from Late Positive Potential (LPP) amplitude and arousal trajectories when participants viewed repeated pictures. Daily stressors and anxiety were reported over 30 days. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) revealed that habituation, modeled as a between-subjects moderator, significantly buffered stress reactivity: faster habituation to unpleasant stimuli (indexed by arousal and LPP slopes) and slower habituation to pleasant stimuli (indexed exclusively by LPP slopes) predicted reduced state anxiety amid rising daily stressors. These results underscored the role of adaptive emotional habituation as a protective factor for psychological resilience, with distinct pathways for threat disengagement (unpleasant valence) and reward preservation (pleasant valence). This research offers valuable insights for developing targeted interventions to prevent stress-related disorders.

Purpose: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) have a bidirectional, synergistic, and complicated relationship. Although it is difficult to definitively say that mTBI causes AUD, certain biological mechanisms that occur after trauma are also associated with hazardous alcohol use. Hazardous drinking is defined as any quantity or pattern of alcohol consumption that places people at risk for physical and/or psychological harm.

Background: Adolescent substance use remains a critical and persistent public health concern worldwide. The initiation of drug use during adolescence is often associated with long-term negative health, social, and academic outcomes. As structured environments where young people spend a large portion of their time, schools are in a unique position to implement early prevention strategies to effectively address this issue.

Apathy and other disorders of motivation represent a significant clinical problem but do not have an agreed treatment approach. The use of translational animal models could facilitate drug development and advance treatment approach. The effort-based forage task provides a readout of motivational state in mouse models based on their intrinsic drive to forage for nesting material.

Background: Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that can lead to alcohol use disorders (AUDs), which encompass a spectrum of conditions including alcohol dependence and abuse, causing significant mental and physical health issues. Excessive drinking is linked to various diseases, such as liver damage, metabolic disorders, and mental health conditions, with notable gender differences in drinking patterns, particularly among workers. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and metabolic implications associated with AUDs among male workers in China.
