Advance online publication: June 14, 2012JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study examined whether the homeostatic regulation of sleep will be driven by the mild sleep loss (partial sleep deprivation). Following the 4-night home-monitored customary sleep, 5 volunteers (age 19-25yrs) took part in the 4 successive night polysomnograph at sleep laboratory. Bed time was set at 11:00pm in the first, second and fourth nights, whereas at 2:00am in the third night. Rise time was 7:00am in common; the third night had time in bed restricted to 5 hours. In contrast to adaptation of the first night effect (stressful night) seen across nights in terms of sleep variables related to REM sleep, significant increase of %NREM sleep and EEG delta-band power occurred during the initial 3 hours of sleep in the third night. Improvement of perceived sleep was also observed in the third night except sleepiness. The present study seems to supply the basic evidence supporting a potential participation of homeostatic regulation in the sleep restriction treatment applied to insomnia.View full abstractDownload PDF (829K) -

Advance online publication: February 14, 2013JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this study, effect of pairing visual and odor stimulus on cardiovascular responses before, during, and after stress tasks, as well as subjective responses such as mood (Positive Affect, Negative Affect, Calmness Affect) before and after stress task was examined. The subjects (n=48) ware divided visual group, odor group, visual and odor group, and control group. The stimulus used ware artificial foliage plant as visual stimulus, and lavender as odor stimulus. The stress task was calculating and interview. The effects of pairing visual and odor stimulus during tasks on cardiovascular responses ware significantly lower other groups. The result suggested the possible that pairing artificial foliage plant and odor stimulus decrease stress more effectivethan artificial foliage plant only.View full abstractDownload PDF (1482K) -

Supplementary materialVisual search studies demonstrated that greater phase synchrony in the 22-34 Hz (lower) frequency band contributes to spatial allocation of attention in a top-down manner, where synchrony in the 36-56 Hz (higher) frequency band relates to bottom-up attention. However, no empirical evidence has been found for such a relationship between the synchronizing frequency band and other attention tasks, such as top-down and bottom-up control of temporal attention. The present study assessed the lower and higher frequency band synchronization during an attentional blink (AB) task. In this task, it is thought that successful top-down attentional control is responsible for an AB. Results showed that synchronization of the lower frequency band was less when the AB did not occur. It was suggested that phase synchronization in the 22-34 Hz frequency bands plays a critical role not only in spatial but also in temporal attention.View full abstractDownload PDF (2999K)

Advance online publication: June 14, 2012JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEighty-six years of Pavlov’s life and nearly 60 years of his physiological research were chronologically described with 70 items concerned, referring to 16 biographical materials published so far. His scientific investigations were divided into three different themes. The first was on the work of pancreatic and cardiac nerves (1873-1883); the second on the principal digestive glands with a stomach pouch (1886-1901), to which the 1904 Nobel prize in physiology and medicine was awarded; and the last on the activities of cerebral hemispheres using a conditioned reflex (1902-1935). Furthermore, 61 items of physiological and psychological studies and events in other countries, being related with Pavlov’s work, were included in the record.View full abstractDownload PDF (544K)
