Heart rate variability in novice pilots during and after a multi-leg cross-country flight.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: A pilot's workload induces autonomic nervous system modulations which could be related to a decrease of vigilance that could impair safety. Kinetics during flight and recovery are not well known. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to ... Read more...

The tenacious nature of memory binding for arousing negative items.

29 Sep 2009 In two experiments, we investigated whether people are better or worse at updating memory for the location of emotional pictures than of neutral pictures. We measured participants' memories for the locations of both arousing negative pictures and ... Read more...

Basal forebrain lactate release and promotion of cortical arousal during prolonged waking is attenuated in aging.

14 Sep 2009 The wake-promoting basal forebrain (BF) is critically involved in sustaining cortical arousal. In the present study, we investigated how aging affects the capacity of the BF to cope with continuous activation during prolonged waking. Increased ... Read more...
