Article Abstract
How the interaction between physiological and motivational responses to exercise contribute to explaining endurance performance is poorly understood. This study investigated whether within-person changes in blood lactate concentration, heart rate (HR), volume of oxygen uptake () and body temperature underlie desire to reduce effort and performance goal value during incremental exercise. Furthermore, the role of core affect in explaining these relationships was explored. Fifty participants (28 males, 22 females, = 23.52 years; = 6.95 years) completed an incremental cycling step test. Work rate increased 25 watts every 4 min until voluntary exhaustion. The three psychological and four physiological measurements were taken at every stage, then analysed using multilevel modelling. Within-person variation in blood lactate concentration predicted desire to reduce effort ( = 2.19, < .001) and performance goal (= -0.85, = .002). and HR predicted desire to reduce effort ( = 2.64, < .001; = 1.59, = .01), whereas body temperature predicted performance goal ( = 0.58, = .03). Affect mediated relationships involving blood lactate concentration and , an important mediating variable when applying desire-goal conflicts to exercise. The four physiological responses to exercise have different but significant motivational implications.

Internal bodily sensations such as an empty rumbling stomach can lead to enhanced desire for food - hunger. As an empty rumbling stomach is caused by digestive physiology, it is often presumed that such physiological processes also cause hunger. However, psychological processes could equally generate hunger (e.

Background: Sodium homeostasis is crucial for physiological balance, yet the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sodium appetite remain incompletely understood. The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) integrates visceral signals to regulate feeding behaviors, including sodium intake. This study investigated the role of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD2)-expressing neurons in the NTS in mediating sodium appetite under low-sodium diet (LSD) conditions and elucidated the molecular pathways involved, particularly the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade.

Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) promises to turn digital cameras into medical devices with the measurement of heart rates, oxygen saturation and the diagnosis arrhythmias already demonstrated. The face-centric nature of current rPPG techniques limits open-datasets from including subjects with clinically-relevant cardiorespiratory conditions without sharing private medical information. The neck, with few identifiable characteristics, is well suited to overcoming this limitation, as it serves as a region of interest (ROI) for pulse detection during jugular venous examination, a common clinical technique.

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.

An algorithm has been developed to accompany adolescents at the stages of determining indications and postoperative rehabilitation for sequential bilateral cochlear implantation with a long interval between operations, minimizing the risk of failure to use a cochlear implant (CI) in the second ear (CI2) and ensuring its effective use. The algorithm includes: 1) 2 groups of factors influencing the results of CI2 - unchangeable (medical and biological) and influenceable (psychological and pedagogical - teenager's motivation for CI2, adequate expectations of the results, regular auditory training with CI2); 2) 4 stages of adaptation to stimulation with CI2 and use of CI1 with CI2; 3) audiological, physiological, psychological, auditory training components of the adaptation process to CI2. The study involved 26 prelingually deaf adolescents aged 10-16 years (mean 13.
