Background

Although psychosocial stressors are known to impact task performance and trigger neuroendocrine responses, the dynamic nature of the stress appraisal process is often neglected in research.

Goal

This study aims to explore whether self-reported appraisals at various time points can accurately represent an individual’s behavioral and physiological stress responses.

Methods

A total of 137 participants were recruited to induce individual stress states using the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Self-reported appraisals were measured both before (anticipatory appraisal) and after the stressor (retrospective appraisal) to capture the dynamic process. Concurrently, participants' cortisol responses and task performances were documented.

Results

Findings indicate that anticipatory appraisal does not significantly reflect task performance. In contrast, retrospective appraisal is strongly associated with the performance of corresponding tasks. Regarding cortisol levels, significantly negative results of multiple regression analysis revealed that the retrospective appraisal of the speech task is the sole variable to represent the cortisol response under stress.

Discussion

The results highlight that retrospective appraisals could represent individuals’ behavioral and physiological responses to stressors more accurately than anticipatory appraisals. These findings provide empirical evidence for choosing the appropriate timing to acquire accurate self-reported appraisals and also help to build a mapping relationship between self-reported, behavioral, and physiological data.

背景虽然众所周知社会心理压力会影响任务的完成并引发神经内分泌反应，但压力评估过程的动态性质往往在研究中被忽视。方法共招募了 137 名参与者，利用特里尔社会压力测试（TSST）诱发个体压力状态。在压力源之前（预期评估）和之后（回顾评估）对自我评估进行测量，以捕捉动态过程。同时，记录了参与者的皮质醇反应和任务表现。结果表明，预期评估并不能显著反映任务表现。相反，回顾性评价与相应任务的表现密切相关。在皮质醇水平方面，多元回归分析的显著负值结果显示，对言语任务的回顾性评价是代表压力下皮质醇反应的唯一变量。这些发现为选择适当的时机获取准确的自我报告评估提供了实证证据，同时也有助于建立自我报告、行为和生理数据之间的映射关系。

Research into the effects of acute anxiety on episodic memory has produced inconsistent findings, particularly for threat-neutral information. In two experiments, we tested the hypothesis that anxiety induced by threat of shock can interfere with the use of semantic-organizational processes that benefit memory. In Experiment 1, participants viewed and freely recalled two lists of semantically unrelated neutral words, one encoded in a threatening context (threat blocks) and one encoded without threat (safe blocks). As predicted, significantly fewer words were recalled during threat than safe blocks. Moreover, free recall patterns following threat blocks showed lower levels of semantic organization as assessed using a “path length” measurement that considers the semantic distance between pairs of consecutively recalled words. Both effects unexpectedly interacted with block order, such that they primarily reflected improved recall and increased semantic organization from the first to the second block in participants who received the threat block first. Experiment 2 used semantically related word lists to reduce potential impacts of task experience on semantic organization. Free recall was again less accurate and showed longer (less organized) path lengths for threat than safe blocks, and the path length effect no longer interacted with block order. Moreover, threat-induced changes to path lengths emerged as a mediator of the relation between physiological effects of threat (increased skin conductance) and reduced subsequent memory. These data point to semantic control processes as an understudied determinant of when and how acute anxiety impacts episodic memory.

关于急性焦虑对外显记忆影响的研究结果并不一致，尤其是对威胁中性信息的影响。在两个实验中，我们检验了这样一个假设：由惊吓威胁引起的焦虑会干扰有利于记忆的语义组织过程的使用。在实验一中，受试者观看并自由回忆两个语义无关的中性词列表，一个是在有威胁的语境中编码的（威胁区块），另一个是在没有威胁的语境中编码的（安全区块）。正如预测的那样，在威胁区块中回忆的词语明显少于安全区块。此外，威胁区块后的自由回忆模式显示出较低的语义组织水平，这是用 "路径长度 "测量法评估的，该测量法考虑了连续回忆的词对之间的语义距离。这两种效应出乎意料地与区块顺序相互影响，因此它们主要反映了先接受威胁区块的参与者从第一个区块到第二个区块的回忆能力提高和语义组织能力增强。实验 2 使用了语义相关的单词表，以减少任务经验对语义组织的潜在影响。与安全区块相比，威胁区块的自由回忆的准确性再次降低，并且显示出更长（组织性更差）的路径长度，而且路径长度效应不再与区块顺序相互影响。此外，威胁引起的路径长度变化成为威胁生理效应（皮肤电导增加）与后续记忆减少之间关系的中介。这些数据表明，语义控制过程是急性焦虑何时以及如何影响外显记忆的一个未被充分研究的决定因素。

Odors are known to affect an individual’s emotions and physiological states. Recent research has revealed that olfaction is linked to the mental representation of internal sensations, known as interoception. However, little research has examined how interoception relates to emotional responses to odors. This research aimed to fill this gap in the literature. We conducted two studies with a total of 548 Japanese women (n = 500 and n = 48 in Studies 1 and 2, respectively). Study 1 used an online survey to assess the relationship between self-reported interoceptive traits and the intensity of positive emotions in response to daily odors. Study 2 examined how self-reported interoceptive traits modulated the arousal ratings of odors presented in the laboratory and the concordance between these perceived arousal ratings and odor-evoked physiological responses. Study 1 confirmed that self-reported interoceptive traits were significant predictors of positive emotional intensity of odors. In Study 2, individuals with high interoceptive measure scores showed concordance between their perceived emotional arousal and the physiological responses associated with that emotion, whereas individuals with low scores did not. These findings suggest that how people perceive their internal sensations contributes to shaping their olfactory affective experiences, thereby broadening the scope of interoception research and aromachology. The practical implications of these findings for the development of commercial fragrances are discussed.

众所周知，气味会影响人的情绪和生理状态。最近的研究表明，嗅觉与内部感觉的心理表征（即内感知）有关。然而，很少有研究探讨内感知如何与对气味的情绪反应相关联。本研究旨在填补这一文献空白。我们对总共 548 名日本女性进行了两项研究（研究 1 和研究 2 分别为 n = 500 和 n = 48）。研究 1 采用在线调查的方式，评估自我报告的内感知特征与对日常气味的积极情绪强度之间的关系。研究 2 探讨了自我报告的内感知特质如何调节对实验室中呈现的气味的唤醒评级，以及这些感知到的唤醒评级与气味诱发的生理反应之间的一致性。研究 1 证实，自我报告的内感知特征对气味的积极情绪强度有显著的预测作用。在研究 2 中，感知间测量得分高的人，其感知到的情绪唤醒和与该情绪相关的生理反应之间表现出一致性，而得分低的人则没有。这些研究结果表明，人们如何感知自己的内部感觉有助于塑造他们的嗅觉情感体验，从而拓宽了内感知研究和芳香疗法的范围。本文还讨论了这些发现对商业香水开发的实际意义。

Introduction

Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) is considered a preclinical stage within the AD continuum. Knowledge about the functional changes in the brain associated with episodic memory retrieval and novelty recognition in people with SCD is currently very limited.

Method

The study aimed to evaluate behavioural and neurofunctional changes in individuals with SCD, measured relative to a control group, during successful episodic memory retrieval and novelty recognition, as well as to compare the functional connectivity patterns related to these cognitive processes within the Default Mode Network (DMN) in both groups. Participants performed an old/new recognition memory task with words while the BOLD signal was acquired.

Results

No between-group differences were observed in the performance of the episodic memory task. However, during the successful recognition of old words, the SCD group showed brain hypoactivity in the right rolandic operculum and reduced functional connectivity between the DMN and the fronto-parietal control network (FPCN). During the correct identification of new words, the SCD group also showed reduced connectivity between the DMN and the FPCN, and lower connectivity within the DMN.

Conclusion

Despite the absence of objective evidence of cognitive impairment, people with SCD display several changes in brain activity and connectivity associated with episodic memory retrieval and novelty recognition.

导言：主观认知功能减退（SCD）被认为是注意力缺失症的临床前阶段。目前，有关 SCD 患者大脑中与外显记忆检索和新奇事物识别相关的功能变化的知识非常有限：本研究旨在评估 SCD 患者在成功进行外显记忆检索和新奇事物识别过程中的行为和神经功能变化，并比较两组患者在默认模式网络（DMN）中与这些认知过程相关的功能连接模式。在采集BOLD信号的同时，受试者进行了单词的新旧识别记忆任务：结果表明：在进行外显记忆任务时，没有观察到组间差异。然而，在成功识别旧词的过程中，SCD 组显示出右侧喙厣的脑活动减弱，DMN 和前顶叶控制网络（FPCN）之间的功能连接减少。在正确识别新单词的过程中，SCD组还表现出DMN和FPCN之间的连接性降低，DMN内部的连接性降低：结论：尽管没有认知障碍的客观证据，但SCD患者的大脑活动和连接性出现了一些变化，这些变化与外显记忆检索和新事物识别有关。

Investigating the transmission of information between individuals is essential to better understand how humans communicate. Coherent information transmission (i.e., transmission without significant modifications or loss of fidelity) helps preserving cultural traits and traditions over time, while innovation may lead to new cultural variants. Although much research has focused on the cognitive mechanisms underlying cultural transmission, little is known on the brain features which correlates with coherent transmission of information. To address this gap, we combined structural (from high-resolution diffusion imaging) and functional connectivity (from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI]) with a laboratory model of cultural transmission, the signalling games, implemented outside the MRI scanner. We found that individuals who exhibited more coherence in the transmission of auditory symbolic information were characterized by lower levels of both structural and functional inter-hemispheric connectivity. Specifically, higher coherence negatively correlated with the strength of bilateral structural connections between frontal and subcortical, insular and temporal brain regions. Similarly, we observed increased inter-hemispheric functional connectivity between inferior frontal brain regions derived from structural connectivity analysis in individuals who exhibited lower transmission coherence. Our results suggest that lateralization of cognitive processes involved in semantic mappings in the brain may be related to the stability over time of auditory symbolic systems.

研究个体之间的信息传递对于更好地理解人类如何进行交流至关重要。连贯的信息传递（即传递过程中没有明显的修改或失真）有助于随着时间的推移保留文化特征和传统，而创新则可能导致新的文化变体。尽管许多研究都集中在文化传播的认知机制上，但对与信息连贯传播相关的大脑特征却知之甚少。为了填补这一空白，我们将结构（来自高分辨率弥散成像）和功能连接（来自静息状态功能磁共振成像[fMRI]）与在核磁共振成像扫描仪外实施的文化传播实验室模型--信号游戏相结合。我们发现，在听觉符号信息传递过程中表现出较强连贯性的个体，其大脑半球间的结构和功能连通性水平都较低。具体来说，较高的连贯性与额叶、皮层下、岛叶和颞叶脑区之间的双侧结构连接强度呈负相关。同样，我们观察到，在传输连贯性较低的个体中，通过结构连通性分析得出的额叶下部脑区之间的半球间功能连通性有所增加。我们的研究结果表明，大脑中涉及语义映射的认知过程的侧向化可能与听觉符号系统的长期稳定性有关。

Frontal Alpha Asymmetry (FAA) has been studied since the late 1970s as a neural correlate of emotion regulation and motivational processes. FAA is often viewed through a dispositional lens reflecting individual differences in positive or negative emotionality and biases toward approach or avoidance motivational processes. However, FAA also shifts in response to context-specific conditions that elicit approach or avoidance responses, indicating FAA reflects active, ongoing self-regulatory processes. Moreover, FAA changes over time, and how it changes over time is affected by context, experience, and development. We propose FAA evolves over four different time scales including the (1) second-to-second, (2) laboratory task, (3) intervention or intensive learning experience, and (4) developmental time scales. We present evidence showing FAA evolves over each of these time scales and highlight influences of individual differences and the developmental context on how FAA changes over time. We emphasize the insights gained by studying change in FAA over each time scale. We concluded with recommendations about future directions and speculate about the nested, bidirectional nature of the four timescales.

额叶阿尔法不对称（Frontal Alpha Asymmetry，FAA）作为情绪调节和动机过程的神经相关因素，自 20 世纪 70 年代末以来一直受到研究。人们通常从倾向性的角度来看待阿尔法不对称，它反映了个体在积极或消极情绪以及接近或回避动机过程方面的差异。然而，FAA 也会随着特定情境下引起接近或回避反应而变化，这表明 FAA 反映了积极、持续的自我调节过程。此外，FAA 会随着时间的推移而变化，而它如何随时间的推移而变化则受到情境、经验和发展的影响。我们建议 FAA 在四个不同的时间尺度上发生变化，包括（1）秒到秒，（2）实验室任务，（3）干预或强化学习经验，以及（4）发展时间尺度。我们提出的证据显示，FAA 在每个时间尺度上都会发生变化，并强调个体差异和发展背景对 FAA 随时间变化的影响。我们强调了通过研究 FAA 在各个时间尺度上的变化所获得的启示。最后，我们就未来的研究方向提出了建议，并推测了这四个时间尺度的嵌套和双向性质。

Individuals with autistic traits (AT) are widely distributed in the general population. Strengthening understanding of AT can provide a broader perspective for autism research as well as more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for clinical practice. Previous studies on attention bias among high-AT individuals have yielded inconsistent results, which may relate to different stages of attention. In this study, we selected two groups with high and low level AT from the general population, and then adopted the odd-one-out search task, combined with Event-related potential (ERP) technique, conducted both attention orientation and attention dissociation tasks, to explore attention bias and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics towards threatening emotional faces in these groups. The behavioral data showed no accelerated attention orientation to angry faces and neutral faces; however, there was attention dissociation difficulty for angry faces. Compared with low-AT individuals, the EEG results showed that high-AT individuals have acceleration of attention orientation and attention dissociation difficulty for threatening emotional faces. From the perspective of top-down concept-driven processing, these findings suggest that high-AT individuals have attention bias for cognitive processing of threatening stimuli, which is mainly due to acceleration of attention orientation and attention dissociation difficulties for threatening information.

具有自闭症特征（AT）的个体广泛分布于普通人群中。加强对自闭症特质的了解可以为自闭症研究提供更广阔的视角，并为临床实践提供更准确的诊断和个性化的治疗方案。以往关于高AT人群注意力偏差的研究结果并不一致，这可能与注意力的不同阶段有关。在本研究中，我们从普通人群中选取了高水平和低水平的两组AT患者，然后采用奇偶搜索任务，结合事件相关电位（ERP）技术，进行了注意定向和注意分离任务，探讨了这两组患者对威胁性情绪面孔的注意偏向和脑电图（EEG）特征。行为数据显示，愤怒面孔和中性面孔没有加速注意定向；但愤怒面孔存在注意分离困难。与低注意力倾向的人相比，脑电图结果显示高注意力倾向的人对威胁性情绪面孔的注意力定向加速和注意力分离困难。从自上而下的概念驱动加工的角度来看，这些研究结果表明，高AT人群对威胁性刺激的认知加工存在注意偏差，这主要是由于对威胁性信息的注意定向加速和注意分离困难造成的。

Childhood obesity is a growing global public health problem. Studies suggest that environmental cues contribute to developing and maintaining obesity. We aimed to evaluate pupillary changes to auditory food words vs. nonfood words and to conduct a dynamic temporal analysis of pupil size changes in adolescents with obesity without binge eating disorder by comparing healthy-weight adolescents. In this study, a total of 63 adolescents aged 12–18 years (n = 32, obesity group (OG); n = 31, control group (CG)) were included. In an auditory paradigm, participants were presented with a series of high and low-calorie food and nonfood words. A binocular remote eye-tracking device was used to measure pupil diameter. Generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) were used for dynamic temporal analysis of pupillometry data. The results of GAMM analysis indicated that CG had larger pupil dilation than the OG while listening to auditory food words. CG had larger pupil dilation in food words than in nonfood words. However, the OG had a similar pupillary response in food and nonfood words. Pupil dilation response to higher-calorie foods was extended over the later stages of the time period (after 2000 ms) in the OG. In summary, our findings indicated that individuals with obesity had lower pupil dilation to auditory food words compared to normal-weight peers. Adolescents with obesity had prolonged pupillary dilation in higher calories of food words. The individual psychological factors affecting the dynamic changes of pupil responses to food cues in adolescents with obesity should be examined in further studies.

儿童肥胖症是一个日益严重的全球性公共健康问题。研究表明，环境线索有助于肥胖的形成和维持。我们的目的是评估听觉食物词与非食物词的瞳孔变化，并通过与健康体重的青少年进行比较，对患有肥胖症但没有暴饮暴食症的青少年的瞳孔大小变化进行动态时间分析。本研究共纳入了 63 名 12-18 岁的青少年（肥胖组（OG）32 人；对照组（CG）31 人）。在听觉范式中，参与者会听到一系列高热量和低热量的食物和非食物词汇。使用双目远程眼动仪测量瞳孔直径。使用广义加性混合模型（GAMM）对瞳孔测量数据进行动态时间分析。GAMM 分析结果表明，在听听觉食物词时，CG 比 OG 的瞳孔放大更大。在听食物词时，CG 的瞳孔放大程度大于非食物词。然而，OG 在听食物词和非食物词时的瞳孔反应相似。OG 对高热量食物的瞳孔放大反应在时间段的后期（2000 毫秒后）有所延长。总之，我们的研究结果表明，与体重正常的同龄人相比，肥胖症患者对听觉食物词的瞳孔放大反应较低。肥胖青少年在听高热量食物词时，瞳孔放大时间延长。影响肥胖症青少年瞳孔对食物线索反应动态变化的个体心理因素有待进一步研究。

A near-miss is a situation in which a gambler almost wins but falls short by a small margin, which motivates gambling by making it feel like success is within reach. Existing research has extensively investigated the influence of contextual information on near-miss outcome processing; however, the impact of reward expectancy has received limited attention thus far. To address this gap, we utilized the wheel of fortune task and event-related potential technique (ERP) to quantify the electrophysiological responses associated with gambling outcomes at different levels of reward expectancy. Behaviorally, near-miss outcomes elicited a greater occurrence of counterfactual thoughts, feelings of regret, and heightened anticipation of rewards for subsequent trials compared to full-miss outcomes. ERP findings indicated that in contrast to full-miss outcomes, near-miss outcomes diminished feedback-related negativities (FRNs) and amplified P300s when reward expectancy was low, but amplified FRNs and diminished P300s when reward expectancy was high. These findings provide valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of outcome proximity and reward expectancy.

近乎失利是指赌徒几乎赢钱但以微弱差距落败的情况，这种情况会让人感觉成功近在咫尺，从而激发赌徒的赌性。现有研究已广泛调查了上下文信息对 "近乎失败 "结果处理的影响，但迄今为止，人们对奖励预期的影响关注有限。为了填补这一空白，我们利用幸运大转盘任务和事件相关电位技术（ERP）量化了不同奖励预期水平下与赌博结果相关的电生理反应。从行为上看，与全输的结果相比，近乎全输的结果会引起更多的反事实想法、后悔情绪以及对后续试验奖励的更高预期。ERP研究结果表明，与完全失误结果相反，当奖励预期较低时，近乎失误的结果会降低反馈相关负性（FRNs）并放大P300s，但当奖励预期较高时，反馈相关负性（FRNs）会放大，P300s会降低。这些发现为研究结果接近性和奖励预期的神经机制提供了有价值的见解。
