Altered neural recruitment during single and dual tasks in athletes with repeat concussion by Andrew C. Hagen, Brian L. Tracy, Jaclyn A. Stephens, Jaclyn A. Stephens

“…This study aimed to investigate the impact of repeat SRCs on dual task performance and associated neural recruitment using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). A total of 37 college-aged athletes (ages 18–24) participated in this cross-sectional observational study, 20 with a history of two or more SRCs, and 17 controls that had never sustained an SRC. …”

Delays in peak physiological activity may reduce resource acquisition as trees recover from wildfire by Kelsey Bryant, Laurel Lynch, Crystal Kolden, Jeffrey Stenzel, Chad Hanson, Christopher Still, Justin Mathias, Brandon Light, Cooper Moon, Tara Hudiburg

“…We coupled continuous measurements of tree water flow and soil CO2 efflux with detailed physiological measurements of above‐ and belowground function following a mixed‐severity wildfire. We found that mature Pinus ponderosa trees with up to 85% canopy and stem damage resumed physiological functioning by the second growing season post‐fire. …”

Neuroimaging markers of phenomena of perceived stigmatization in people with and without mental disorders: a systematic scoping-review by Natalia B. Lutova, Maria A. Khobeysh, Ekaterina S. Gerasimchuk, Maria O. Bocharova, Olga V. Makarevich, Mikhail Yu. Sorokin

“…Among fMRI paradigm the Cyberball social exclusion task was used more often (10 articles). Changes in neural activity, correlating with the severity of stigma and its constituent constructs, were found in the anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, insula, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, ventral region of the striatum, putamen, amygdala.Conclusion: Functional magnetic resonance studies can be an effective tool for verifying and assessing the dynamics of the psychological state of people experiencing the phenomenon of stigmatization.…”

The influence of occupational environment on formation of psycho-emotional stress among remote pilots of unmanned aircraft systems by A. V. Shvets, V. V. Kalnysh, O. V. Maltsev

“…It has been established that there were radically different mechanisms of their functional state regulation, and “hyposusceptible” operators were more adapted to the performance of their functional duties due to the mechanisms of harmonizing their functional state and reducing experiences from the influence of harmful stress-forming factors.…”
