Physical inactivity, which is a global issue, reduces physical and mental vitality, particularly impairing prefrontal-cortex-based mental health. This…

Our previous research with animals and humans has demonstrated that even light exercise can boost neuronal activity in the dorsal hippocampus and improve memory. While the mechanism underlying this r...

特集：和算 再発見 江戸時代の和算は，関数もグラフもない，現代数学と全く異なる数学だ。当時の文献を丁寧に紐解く近年の科学史研究によって，300年前の数学者，関孝和が成し遂げた数学の詳細が浮かび上がってきた。躍動的な「もう … 続きを読む →

Lüthi and colleagues show that activity of the locus coeruleus (LC) is crucial for the cyclic alternation between non-rapid-eye-movement and rapid-eye-movement sleep. Stressful experiences during waki...

Emerging theories emphasize the crucial role of allostasis (anticipatory and adaptive regulation of the body’s biological processes) and interoception (integration, anticipation, and regulation of int...
