Flight training changes the brain functional pattern in cadets.

Introduction: To our knowledge, this is the first study to use MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) before and after an intensive flight training. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of flight training in civil flying cadets.

Methods: The civil flying cadets and controls completed two study visits.

Research on brain functions related to visual information processing and body coordination function of pilots based on the low-frequency amplitude method.

Objective: Research on the differences in physiological and psychological mechanisms of practitioners in different occupations is a current hot spot, such as pilots. This study explores the frequency-dependent changes of pilots' low-frequency amplitudes in the classical frequency band and sub-frequency band between pilots and general occupations. The goal of the current work is to provide objective brain images for the selection and evaluation of outstanding pilots.

Brain structure variability study in pilots based on VBM.

The impact of occupations on brain structures has attracted considerable research interests in the last decade. The aim of this research is to find the effect of flight training on brain gray matter volume of pilots. The whole-brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data collected from 26 pilots and 24 controls was analyzed using Voxel-based morphological analysis method (VBM) combined with T1 data to quantitatively detect the local gray matter of brain tissue and calculate the gray matter volume.

The Neural Underpinnings of Emotional Conflict Control in Pilots.

Piloting an aircraft is a complex cognitive task. Human error represents a major contributing factor in aviation accidents. Emotion plays an important role in aviation safety.

Increased functional dynamics in civil aviation pilots: Evidence from a neuroimaging study.

Civil aviation is a distinctive career. Pilots need to monitor the entire system in real time. However, the psychophysiological mechanism of flying is largely unknown.

Altered Default Mode Network Dynamics in Civil Aviation Pilots.

Background: Airlines occupy an increasingly important place in the economy of many countries. Because air disasters may cause substantial losses, comprehensive surveys of the psychophysiological mechanism of flying are needed; however, relatively few studies have focused on pilots. The default mode network (DMN) is an important intrinsic connectivity network involved in a range of functions related to flying.

Dissolution of cellulose in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl phosphonate ionic liquid and its composite system with NaPHO.

An ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl phosphonate (Amim(MeO)PHO), was synthesized and used to dissolve and regenerate cellulose under mild conditions. The dissolution mechanism of cellulose in Amim(MeO)PHO was investigated by in situ NMR spectroscopy under different conditions. Inorganic salt NaPHO with an anion structure similar to that of Amim(MeO)PHO was added to form a NaPHO/Amim(MeO)PHO composite system.

Room-temperature synthesis of self-assembled Sb2S3 films and nanorings via a two-phase approach.

The freestanding Sb(2)S(3) films were easily synthesized at the interface of water and toluene at room temperature, where Na(2)S and (C(2)H(5)OCS(2))(3)Sb (xanthate, O-ethyldithiocarbonate) acted as sulfur and antimony source, respectively. After 3 h of aging, the Sb(2)S(3) films with a flat surface toward organic side and rough surface toward aqueous side were assembled by sheaflike Sb(2)S(3) nanowires. The Sb(2)S(3) nanorings formed by end-to-end connection of the bundled nanowires appeared in the water layer when the reaction time reached 24 h.
