In patients with overlap syndrome (OVS), the pathophysiologies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can interact with one another. Focusing on low arousal threshold, the authors evaluated polysomnographic features of OVS patients. This retrospective, multicenter study was conducted at three hospitals in Japan. ...

To compare microstructural features of sleep in young and middle-aged adults with differing severities of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and to investigate the relationship between sleep microstructural fragmentation and cognitive impairment, as well as daytime sleepiness, in these patients. A total of 134 adults with snoring (mean age, 3...

Global EEG alpha activity is negatively correlated with skin conductance level (SCL), supporting alpha as an inverse marker of arousal. Frequency Principal Components Analysis (f-PCA) of resting EEG amplitude spectra has demonstrated natural components in the alpha band of healthy persons. This is a preliminary exploration of whether such component...

BackgroundCerebellar ataxia affects individuals in reproductive age. To date, few clinical cases of cerebellar ataxia and involvement of the cerebellum in sexual response were reported. We report a case of a woman that need to restore skills related for execution of sexual activity and coordination of movements during sexual intercourse.Case presen...

Alcohol misuse is a major public concern. Impulsivity has been recognised as a significant risk factor predisposing for the initiation of alcohol use, continuation and excessive alcohol use. Evidence suggests that impulsivity is also a result of both acute alcohol intoxication and long-term alcohol abuse. The multifaceted character of impulsivity a...

It is widely known that emotionally-arousing pictures are perceived more rapidly than non-arousing pictures, although neural underpinnings of this effect remain unclear. Using electroencephalography, we presently measured neural oscillatory rhythms of the human brain in response to various emotional images from the International Affective Picture S...

Robustly linking dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) states to behaviour is important for establishing the utility of the method as a functional measurement. We previously used a sliding window approach to identify two dynamic connectivity states (DCS) related to vigilance. A new sample of 32 healthy participants underwent two sets of task-free f...

Theories of human temporal perception suggest that changes in physiological arousal distort the perceived duration of events. Behavioural manipulations of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity support this suggestion, however the effects of behavioural manipulations of parasympathetic (PSNS) activity on time perception are unclear. The current ...

Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.)
There is evidence for impairment in both central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function with prolonged alcohol use. While these impairments persist into abstinence, partial recovery of function has been demonstrated in both systems during sleep. To investigate potential ANS dysfunction associated with cortical CNS response...

Measuring body surface temperature changes with infrared thermography has recently been put forward as a non-invasive alternative measure of physiological correlates of emotional reactions. In particular, the nasal region seems to be highly sensitive to emotional reactions. Several studies suggest that nasal temperature is negatively correlated wit...
