"SERT inhibitors (e.g., serotonin specific reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs), which are widely used to treat depression, also are effective on serotonin signaling in the GI tract, resulting in significant gastrointestinal effects in many patients (Wang et al., 2018) Approximately 95% of the bioavailable serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) is located in the enterochromaffin (EC) cells of the bowel. 5-HT is a critical messenger for gastrointestinal fluid secretion, motility, and sensation. 5-HT is produced by specialized cells lining the gut, known as enteroendocrine cells (EEC), and plays a key role in the peristaltic reflex, which is necessary for normal passage of a bolus nutrients in the gut... Gut-derived 5-HT may play a role in extra-gastrointestinal disorders, such as asthma, migraine, itching, osteoporosis, and the like. Thus, release of 5-HT from the gut and its modulation may have several therapeutic indications (Mawe and Hoffman, 2013)". - https://lnkd.in/g7bD-bt6 #mentalhealth?#brain?#health?#wellness?#humanity?#psychology?#healthybrain?#happybrain?#neuroscience?#HBE?#humanbrainexpo?#3hbrain?#science?#AI?#brainhealth?#ethics?#helpfulbrain?#innovation? #innovationmanagement?#events?#news?#biotech?#psychiatry

A novel framework to improve emotion decoding using the identified areas. https://lnkd.in/gJ5Ywkyi In this paper, the hierarchical emotional areas in the human brain through multi-source information fusion and graph machine learning method were investigated. Preliminary insights into the brain mechanisms underlying specific emotions based on the psychological constructionist hypothesis. To gain a deeper understanding of the roles of emotional areas at various levels in emotion encoding, it is promising to conduct meta-analyses using a large number of existing literature in future research. #human #brain

# The structure of neural pathways for both selfishness and empathy indicates that there are no intrinsically “good” or “evil” parts of our brains. Self-interest and concern for others involve overlapping brain regions at all three levels of MacLean’s (1990) triune brain. We need to keep constantly training our prefrontal executive systems, and when possible each other’s, to maintain an optimal balance between selfishness and empathy. # Chronic childhood stress inclines people as adults toward greater fight-or-flight or dissociative responses and away from caring responses (e.g., Perry et al., 1995). Conversely, children raised in caring societies and homes typically become caring adults (e.g., Eisenberg, 1992). # One of our more unfortunate pervasive human habits is to conflate bullying with strong leadership – which accounts for the attractiveness of authoritarian dictators to large numbers of people. # Perino et al. (2019) found that the adolescent bullies he studied were not deficient in empathic accuracy, that is, in picking up social cues about whether the people they interacted with were happy or unhappy. By contrast, these authors said that Aggression stemming from socially dissonant responses — e.g., taking pleasure in others’ pain or expressing displeasure when seeing others’ happiness—is more explanatory than traditional empathic explanations (p. 1473). # Finding the right combination of charismatic leadership with the caring emotional side of empathy is difficult but must be pursued for organizations to flourish.

"Stretchable electronics have significant applications in wearable applications. However, the extremely low thermal conductivity of elastic encapsulation hinders heat dissipation, leading to performance degradation. For instance, stretchable thermoelectric devices (TEDs) can be used for skin temperature regulation, but poor thermal management limits their cooling performance. This article proposes advanced material and fabrication optimization for stretchable TED with a three-dimensional structure, achieving enhanced performance through the stacked integration of multilayer thermoelectric unit networks. Techniques such as laser ablation are employed to create thermal vias, significantly improving interlayer thermal exchange efficiency. The resulting device can achieve 30% stretching and provides a stable and long-term 10 °C skin cooling under normal arm movement. Additionally, by integrating temperature sensing and control circuits, the fabricated wearable closed-loop system can programmatically regulate skin temperature, suitable for virtual temperature and pain sensation. The 3D integration method and thermal via construction technique proposed in this article can also be applied to other high-power stretchable electronics". - https://buff.ly/cRWnRi6 #mentalhealth #brain #health #wellness #humanity #psychology #healthybrain #happybrain #neuroscience #HBE #humanbrainexpo #3hbrain #science #AI #brainhealth #ethics #helpfulbrain #innovation #innovationmanagement #events #news #biotech #psychiatry

The authors argue that "research practices that map race categories onto faces using bioessentialist ideas of racial phenotypes constitute a form of racecraft ideology, the dubious reasoning of which presupposes the reality of race and mystifies the causal relation between race and racism. Faces are socially important surfaces of the body on which various meanings are attached. The widespread physiognomic belief that faces inherently contain socially predictive value is why they make a generative stimulus for perception research. However, critical problems arise in studies that simultaneously investigate faces and race. Researchers studying race and racism inadvertently engage in various research practices that transform faces with specific phenotypes into straightforward representatives of their presumed race category, thereby taking race and its phenotypic associations for granted". - https://buff.ly/5AODYg7 #mentalhealth #brain #health #wellness #humanity #psychology #healthybrain #happybrain #neuroscience #HBE #humanbrainexpo #3hbrain #science #AI #brainhealth #ethics #helpfulbrain #innovation #innovationmanagement #events #news #biotech #psychiatry

Taurine deficiency as a driver of aging. Singh et al. found that the amount of the semi-essential amino acid taurine in circulation decreased with age. Supplementation with taurine slowed key markers of aging such as increased DNA damage, telomerase deficiency, impaired mitochondrial function, and cellular senescence. Loss of taurine in humans was associated with aging-related diseases, and concentrations of taurine and its metabolites increased in response to exercise. Taurine supplementation improved life span in mice and health span in monkeys. — L.

"The latest research, published in Nature Communications, outlines hydrogel chemistry and microfabrication methods for miniaturizing and integrating multiple components into brain bioelectronics. Hydrogels resemble living tissue because of their high water content, softness, flexibility and biocompatibility. “Using this soft material, we are creating a multifunctional neural probe that can deliver light into brain tissue and also record neural activity,” Rao said. “A new technology called optogenetics uses light to control neural cells. By activating or inhibiting brain activity, we hope to dissect the mechanism of neurological disorders.” - https://buff.ly/3D7lmYX #mentalhealth #brain #health #wellness #humanity #psychology #healthybrain #happybrain #neuroscience #HBE #humanbrainexpo #3hbrain #science #AI #brainhealth #ethics #helpfulbrain #innovation #innovationmanagement #events #news #biotech #psychiatry
