Purpose: To assess the effect of changes in end-tidal partial pressure of O(2) (PETO(2)) on cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) estimated from changes in blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal during cyclic changes in end-tidal partial pressure of CO(2) (PETCO(2)).
Materials And Methods: BOLD response to fixed cyclic step changes in PETCO(2) (range = 30.4-48.8 mmHg) and PETO(2) (range = 100.6-444.0 mmHg) was studied in four healthy volunteers.
Results: The BOLD reactivity to PETCO(2) and PETO(2) were 0.283 (0.188-0.379) (median, range) and 0.004 (0.003-0.006)%/mmHg, respectively, in the whole brain; 0.438 (0.382-0.614) vs. 0.006 (0.004-0.009)%/mmHg, respectively, in the gray matter; and 0.075 (0.065-0.093) vs. 0.002 (0.001-0.002)%/mmHg, respectively, in the white matter.
Conclusion: The BOLD reactivity to PETO(2) was much smaller than that to PETCO(2). However, BOLD reactivity can be significantly distorted by CO(2)-induced changes in PETO(2). We conclude that PETO(2) should be carefully controlled during studies that use BOLD reactivity as an indicator of CVR.

Individual variation in stress coping styles is widespread and consequential to health and fitness. Proactive (bold behavior, low stress reactivity, low cognitive flexibility) and reactive (shy behavior, high stress reactivity, high cognitive flexibility) coping styles are found in many species, but the developmental forces shaping them remain elusive. We examined how social influences, specifically mating interactions, shape the development of adult female coping styles with a manipulative rearing experiment using El Abra swordtails, Xiphophorus nigrensis.

Background: Accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Cerebral deposition of Aβ initiates deteriorating pathways which eventually can lead to AD. However, the exact mechanisms are not known.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiorespiratory signals, previously considered noise in fMRI research, are now recognized for their potential insights into brain function and health.
- These signals, including heart rate variability and respiratory patterns, reflect the interaction between cardiovascular, respiratory, and neural systems that support brain activity.
- Understanding these signals can improve fMRI data interpretation, highlighting the connections between heart, brain, and overall physiological health.

Background And Purpose: Identifying and assessing hemodynamic and flow status in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is crucial for evaluating recurrent stroke risk. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between two quantitative imaging modalities: (1) blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and (2) quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (qMRA) with non-invasive optimal vessel analysis (NOVA), measuring volume flow rate (VFR). Comparing these modalities is relevant for assessing collateral circulation and hemodynamic impairment.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 raised concerns about the potential for interspecies transmission, particularly among domestic animals. We evaluated the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in domestic cats from various sites in North America. A total of 216 serum samples collected between December 2019 and February 2022, were analyzed using four different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), including a commercial surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT), a commercial double antigen test (dN ELISA), and two in-house developed indirect ELISAS based on receptor-binding domain (RBD iELISA) and the nucleocapsid (N iELISA) proteins, respectively.
