Acute and repeated exposure with the nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) differentially modulate responses in a rat model of anxiety
(2017)The nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) actually is under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia. That anxiety disorders are noted to occur commonly in schizophrenia patients is known. Contradictory ... -
Associations between balance ability and dance performance using field balance tests
(2019)AIMS: Although balance is a key element of dance, it remains to be confirmed which balance components are associated with dance performance. The aim of this study was to assess the associations between different field ... -
Associations between ghrelin and leptin and neural food cue reactivity in a fasted and sated state
(2021)Food cue exposure can trigger eating. Food cue reactivity (FCR) is a conditioned response to food cues and includes physiological responses and activation of reward-related brain areas. FCR can be affected by hunger and ... -

Cognitive Fatigability is Independent of Subjective Cognitive Fatigue and Mood in Multiple Sclerosis
(2020)Background:Sustained cognitive testing is used to detect cognitive fatigability and is often considered a substitute for subjective cognitive fatigue (CF). However, the relationship between cognitive fatigability and ... -
Crocus sativus L. extracts antagonize memory impairments in different behavioural tasks in the rat
(2006)The effects of extracts of Crocus sativus L. (CSE), on memory were investigated in the rat by using the object recognition and the step-through passive avoidance task. In the first study, post-training administration of ... -
Developing and testing an instrument to assess aquaticity in humans
(2016)We developed and validated an aquaticity assessment test (AAT) for the evaluation of human physical adequacy in the water. Forty-six volunteers (25M/21F; 20 ± 8 years) participated and performed 10 easy-to-administer and ... -
Direct exposure of the head to solar heat radiation impairs motor-cognitive performance
(2020)Health and performance impairments provoked by thermal stress are societal challenges geographically spreading and intensifying with global warming. Yet, science may be underestimating the true impact, since no study has ... -
Does the number of trials affect the reliability of handgrip strength measurement in individuals with intellectual disabilities? [Le nombre d'essais peut-il affecter la fiabilité de la mesure de la force de poigne chez les personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle ?]
(2020)The main objectives of this study were to examine which testing protocol (one/two/three trials) and method (best/average value) used for determining maximal handgrip strength is more reliable for individuals with intellectual ... -
