Staff who work exclusively on Alzheimer's disease units need to develop strategies to deal with emotional outbreaks of these clients. This project demonstrated that staff is not helpless in dealing with Alzheimer clients, and it reinforced the staff by validating that they, too, are experts in coping with daily problems of Alzheimer's clients. Another asset was the inclusion of the staff in this study. It was a learning experience for all to see the completion of this work.

Imprint of ancestral and modern threats in human mind - experience of fear, disgust, and anger.
Front Psychol
January 2025
Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czechia.

Animal and human ancestors developed complex physiological and behavioral response systems to cope with two types of threats: immediate physical harm from predators or conspecifics, triggering fear, and the risk of infections from parasites and pathogens leading to the evolution of the behavioral immune system (BIS) with disgust as the key emotion. Here we ask whether the BIS has adapted to protect us from pandemic risks or poisoning by modern toxic substances.
