People with from spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the damage to their spinal cords prevents the two areas from communicating. In APL Bioengineering, by AIP Publishing, researchers from universities in Italy and Switzerland conducted an initial…

Our paper titled ‘Effects of Exercise on Electroencephalography-Recorded Neural Oscillations: A Systematic Review’ is available on a gold open-access basis from ‘International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology’ (IRSEP).

In Figure 1, you can see the exercise modalities that were featured in this systematic review, which was first-authored by Leti Hosang.

Our latest publication represents an ongoing collaboration with colleagues at National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei and National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, Taipei.

The work examines how acute concurrent exercise training influences executive function. The findings suggest that blood lactate is a mediator of the effects of acute exercise on executive function. This mediation effect is evident from a behavioural, but not neuro-electric standpoint.

A man – for the sake of this exercise, let’s call him “Paul” – has a heart attack and his brain is starved of oxygen. After several resuscitations and a week in a coma, he finally opens his eyes. However, he doesn’t always appear to be present. Doctors say he is still unconscious, in an “unresponsive state” – the patient’s eyes are open, but he doesn’t move his hand when asked. For families in…
