A neurally constrained computational model of context-dependent fear extinction recall and relapse
26-04-2025Exposure therapy, a standard treatment for anxiety disorders, relies on fear extinction. However, extinction recall is often limited to the spatial and temporal context in which extinction is learned, leading to fear relapse in new settings or after delays. Animal studies offer insights into fear extinction in humans. Computational models that integrate these findings into a neurally grounded framework, while generating testable hypotheses for humans, can bridge this gap. Current models either...

From Physiology to Psychiatry: Key role of vagal interoceptive pathways in emotional control
26-04-2025Interoception is the awareness of bodily sensations, conveyed by both hormonal and neural signals. The vagus nerve is the primary neural interoceptive conduit, responsible for transmitting information from peripheral organs to the brain. It is widely accepted that vagal signals are essential for purely physiological functions like blood pressure maintenance, or nutrient intake homeostasis. However, a growing body of evidence, taking advantage of new technological advances, suggests that the...

Association between maternal stress patterns and neonatal meconium microbiota: A prospective cohort study
26-04-2025CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to prenatal care that extends beyond traditional medical interventions. Addressing maternal stress through targeted support and interventions may help newborns benefit from a more favorable gut microbiota landscape.

Assessed Temperatures and Stress in Cats Using Tympanic and Rectal Thermometers
26-04-2025Previous studies using tympanic thermometers on pets have presented inconsistent conclusions. The first aim of the current study was to compare the assessed temperatures using tympanic and rectal thermometers on healthy cats in a home environment and in cats admitted to clinical care. The second aim was to compare assessed stress (Fear, Anxiety and Stress scale, FAS) in healthy cats during the tympanic and rectal measurements. The non-clinical sample included 25 cats, and the clinical sample...

Vulnerability and Complexity: Wartime Experiences of Arab Women During the Perinatal Period
26-04-2025Pregnancy and transition to motherhood are significant experiences accompanied by manifold changes, particularly during times of crisis, such as exposure to traumatic events, which involve further levels of complexity and vulnerability. This is especially true for Arab women in Israel, considering the interactions between their physical, mental, and social environments, and their impact on health during pregnancy and childcare in wartime. This study sought to examine the experience of Arab women...
