Eight chronically instrumented fetal sheep were asphyxiated for 1 h by partial occlusion of the uterine blood supply. Fetal movements, as reflected by phasic activity in the nuchal electromyogram, decreased during the period of asphyxia. Tonic activity also decreased. The proportion of time spent in high-voltage electrocortical activity increased. Following release of the occlusion movements returned rapidly to the level present during the control period. The distribution of electrocortical activity patterns during the recovery period was similar to that during the control period.

People with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit alterations in brain electrical activity and autonomic modulation compared to healthy individuals. : This study aimed to investigate transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) effects on brain electrocortical activity and heart rate variability (HRV), specifically targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in both healthy controls (HC) and FM groups, to identify potential differences in the responses between these groups, and to compare the effectiveness of two distinct tDCS intensities (1 mA and 2 mA) against a sham condition. : Electroencephalography and electrocardiogram signals were recorded pre- and post-tDCS intervention.

Brainwave Entrainment (BWE) is a noninvasive method of neuromodulation based on the principle that auditory or visual stimulation at a specific frequency can lead the brain's electrocortical activity to oscillate at the frequency of the external signal or its multiples. This phenomenon could be used to alter physiological and psychological states. Therefore, we conducted an integrative review to answer the question: "What are the observed benefits of BWE on human health and well-being?" We searched for studies published in the last ten years in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), EMBASE, Virtual Health Library (BVS), PubMed, SciELO, and Cochrane Library databases in April 2024.

Introduction: Resistance training (RT) is known to induce both peripheral and central adaptations, resulting in enhanced strength, sports performance, and health benefits. These adaptations are specific to the training stimuli. The acute cortical mechanisms of single sessions resistance exercise (RE) are not yet understood.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how reappraisal affects emotional experiences and related brain responses, focusing on the Late Positive Potential (LPP) during emotional stimuli presentations.
- When participants reappraised negative images, the LPP was sustained longer, indicating a complex relationship between emotion regulation and neural responses rather than a simple decrease.
- Despite exploring different brainwave characteristics, especially theta oscillations associated with cognitive control, no significant effects were found, suggesting that further research is needed to understand its role in emotional regulation.
