In 2002, atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen described the multiplicity of changes in the Earth’s natural systems and suggested that Earth may have entered the “Anthropocene epoch,” characterized by the dominance of humans over the global environment. The Anthropocene would terminate the Holocene epoch...
but he plays bigger. He's heavy on pucks, he's responsible, he's diligent, he works hard along the walls and he goes to the dirty areas and he's got some jam. The offense has really come up in the last couple of seasons, especially this season. That's ...
Sleep patterns and neurophysiology change dynamically across the lifespan [1]. Various physiological and mental health factors can modulate neurophysiology, alter sleep patterns, and influence behaviors that can either enhance or impede quality sleep [2,3,4,5]. Despite a clear understanding that poor...
assuming that all extant traits have been shaped by evolution, it seems reasonable to expect to find bases or precursors of metacognition in other species, particularly those that are phylogenetically closest to humans. For this reason, a substantial body of research...
Caenorhabditis elegans was identified52. A year later, the recognition of hormesis induced by exercise53or alterations in cellular nutrition conditions in humans54furthered the understanding. Consequently 2008, Mattson, M.P. provided a comprehensive update and definition of hormesis30, while Calabrese, ...
of herbicides). Regardless of technology level, effective control methods serve as strong selection pressures on weedy plants and often result in rapid evolution of weed populations resistant to such methods [3,4,5,6,7]. Thus, humans and weeds have been locked in an arms race, where humans ...
, which collectively show that anodal tDCS enhances cortical excitability in humans, while cathodal tDCS reduces it. One of the applications of tDCS is cognitive enhancement (Flöel, 2014), defined in a general sense as the “improvement in performance related to cognitive tasks” (Dubljević...
Attention is a complex cognitive process that selects specific stimuli for further processing. Previous research suggested the existence of three attentional networks: alerting, orienting and executive. However, one important topic is how to enhance the efficiency of attentional networks. In this context...

Increased cortical and subcortical theta activity has been linked with a variety of learning and recall tasks in humans [38, 39], as well as tasks involving working memory [40] and spatial navigation [37, 41], and there is evidence to suggest that increased theta activity prior to a memory...
