This study examined the relationship between vagal nerve activity, indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), and overall survival (OS) in patients (N = 272) with advanced pancreatic cancer.
In the present study, we examined if elevated inflammatory activity, indexed by high levels of the systemic inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and TNF-α and the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP), is associated with increased risk for short LTL in the 'Health, Aging and Body Composition' (Health ABC) cohort, a large sample of well-functioning men and women aged 70 79 years.
When pairing structures with targets and bioactivities in a similar effort (6), Tikkainen and Franke observed that only 3.6% (i.e. 410 of 11 278) of the scientific articles with activity indexed in more than one database matched each other.
This dual effect of ageing on RSFA was confirmed in the mediation analysis, where we found no evidence that age-related variance in neural activity (indexed by rsMEG variability) mediated positive age differences in RSFA across the whole brain.
Results showed that spontaneous activity indexed by both ALFF and fALFF in the right PHG was significantly positively correlated with associative memory performance, suggesting a critical role of the right PHG in associative memory in older adults.
We found that a reminder shock decreased IL and ventral ITC activity and increased CeM activity as indexed by c-Fos expression.
Intensity of sports/exercise was determined by the nature of the activity as indexed in the metabolic equivalent (MET) compendium (48, 49) and a follow-up question on whether the activity had made the participant "out of breath or sweaty".
ROK-dependent MLCP activity was indexed by Western blot analysis of P[Thr855]MYPT.
We found that spontaneous activity as indexed by both ALFF and fALFF in the parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) was significantly positively correlated with associative memory performance, suggesting that the PHG plays a critical role in associative memory in older people.
By applying TMS to a local site during whole-brain fMRI, this approach can potentially reveal any remote consequences of TMS on neural activity, as indexed by blood-oxygen-level dependence (BOLD) signals, and how these might relate to behavioural change.
