1Abstract Sepsis is recognized as the acute systemic inflammatory response to severe infection. It is main cause of multiple organ system dysfunction and even organ failure. Long non-coding RNA X inactivate-specific transcript (XIST) is implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases. The aim of present work was to investigate the precise mechanism of XIST underlying sepsis-induced acute liver injury. Rats were underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish sepsis-induced...

Abstract The relationship of physical activity with interference processing was examined using behavioral and neuroelectrical measures in young adults divided into more active and less active groups. The participants completed Stroop (i.e., color‐naming) and reverse Stroop (i.e., word‐meaning) tasks that differed in the level of difficulty while event‐related potentials were assessed. In the low interference Stroop task, participants were asked to respond to the ink color of the word, while the...
Were we erring? The impact of worry and arousal on error‐related negativity in a non‐clinical sample
Abstract The monitoring of one's own actions allows humans to adjust to a changing and complex world. Previous neuroscientific research found overactive action monitoring and increased sensitivity to errors to be associated with anxiety and it is assumed to contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety symptoms. A largely shared decomposition of anxiety differentiates two dimensions: anxious apprehension (i.e., worry) and anxious arousal (i.e., physiological hyperarousal). Alterations...
Abstract Expectations and motor reactions related to pain are mainly acquired through personal experiences. Contingent negative variation (CNV) has been shown to be an informative electrophysiological measure of this pain anticipation. Expectations can also arise while observing others in painful conditions. However, it still remains unclear what are the neural correlates of this phenomenon and how the observation of others in pain can subsequently change our personal pain perception as well as...

Key points Recent studies have proposed therapeutic potential for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in swallowing rehabilitation, yet its outcomes vary across individuals and studies. Such variability may be related to the brain state before stimulation. Metaplasticity is a higher order plasticity which regulates cortical response to plasticity changes. Studies have shown that preconditioning of the hand motor cortex could increase cortical capacity for neuroplastic change and...
