Prior experience biases subcortical sensitivity to sound patterns
Description
To make sense of our ever-changing world, our brains search out patterns. This drive can be so strong that the brain imposes patterns when there are none. The opposite can also occur: The brain can overlook patterns because they do not conform to expectations. In this study, we examined this neur...

Title
Impairments in musical abilities reflected in the auditory brainstem: Evidence from congenital amusia
Description
Congenital amusia is a neurogenetic condition, characterized by a deficit in music perception and production, not explained by hearing loss, brain damage or lack of exposure to music. Despite inferior musical performance, amusics exhibit normal auditory cortical responses, with abnormal neural co...

Title
Emergence of biological markers of musicianship with school-based music instruction
Description
Musician children and adults demonstrate biological distinctions in auditory processing relative to nonmusicians. For example, musician children and adults have more robust neural encoding of speech harmonics, more adaptive sound processing, and more precise neural encoding of acoustically simila...

Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users
Description
Growing numbers of mental health organizations are developing community music-making interventions for service users; however, to date there has been little research into their efficacy or mechanisms of effect. This study was an exploratory examination of whether 10 weeks of group drumming could ...

Title
Existence of High Frequency Electricity at Acupoints and Meridian Flow Observations via the Frequency Spectrum
Description
We revealed the existence of high frequency (HF) electricity flowing through the meridians known to oriental medicine by observing these signals at various acupoints on the human body. This was clearly and scientifically demonstrated by recording the frequency spectrum at these acupoints using a ...

Title
Exercise and the nitric oxide vasodilator system
Description
In the past two decades, normal endothelial function has been identified as integral to vascular health. The endothelium produces numerous vasodilator and vasoconstrictor compounds that regulate vascular tone; the vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), has additional antiatherogenic properties, is proba...

Title
Dietary Nitrate and Nitric Oxide Metabolism: Mouth, Circulation, Skeletal Muscle, and Exercise Performance
Description
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signaling molecule that plays an important role in myriad physiological processes, including the regulation of vascular tone, neurotransmission, mitochondrial respiration, and skeletal muscle contractile function. NO may be produced via the canonical NO synthase-cat...

Use of nitric oxide inhalation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Description
Inhalation of nitric oxide with oxygen could be a promising treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension. However, the current methods of delivery of NO are cumbersome and unsuitable for long term use. The present study was undertaken to inve...

Title
Nitric oxide insufficiency, platelet activation, and arterial thrombosis
Description
Nitric oxide (NO) was originally discovered as a vasodilator product of the endothelium. Over the last 15 years, this vascular mediator has been shown to have important antiplatelet actions as well. By activating guanylyl cyclase, inhibiting phosphoinositide 3-kinase, impairing capacitative calci...

Title
Nitric Oxide in Inflammation and Immune Response
Description
This short review deals with the role of a recently found signalling molecule, nitric oxide (NO), in inflammatory and immune responses. NO regulates inflammatory erythema and oedema and has cytotoxic action against micro-organisms. In some instances (such as reperfusion injury) NO has cytoprotect...

Nitric Oxide and Wound Healing
Description
Nitric oxide is a short-lived free radical that acts at the molecular, cellular, and physiologic level. Since its discovery almost 20 years ago it has proven itself as an important element in wound healing. This review highlights many of the important aspects of nitric oxide in wound healing, inc...

Title
Music structure determines heart rate variability of singers
Description
Choir singing is known to promote wellbeing. One reason for this may be that singing demands a slower than normal respiration, which may in turn affect heart activity. Coupling of heart rate variability (HRV) to respiration is called Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). This coupling has a subject...
