Filter by:This study aims to determine the effects of chronic exposure to some low/no calorie sweeteners (LNCS) on glucose tolerance and glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) release in healthy individuals. LNCS examined in this study are saccharin, sucralose and aspartame+acesulfame-K. The amounts of LNCS given to the participants are kept similar to daily life exposure; far less than the Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) levels proposed by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
The project aims to study the neural basis of Mental Time Travel (MTT), i.e. the ability to travel back and forth in time. It has been proposed that the self-projection in time is similar to the self-projection in space, emphasizing the role of spatial navigation in MTT. Indeed, the posterior parietal cortex, a key region for visual imagery in space-related tasks, and the temporo-parietal junction, a key region for mental projection, are both recruited by self-projection in time and space. However, the specific neural computation of the two processes remains unclear. One way to address this is by investigating the brain oscillations that may modulate MTT. One plausible candidate for MTT processing are beta oscillations because of their role in the production and perception of short temporal intervals, as opposed to alpha oscillations which correlate with illusory changes in self location in space. Thus, the present project investigates the hypothesis that MTT may rely on posterior parietal cortex's beta oscillations to self-project in time. Moreover, cause previous studies showed a different performance in time processing between young and elderly health population, we want to investigate also if there is a difference between these two populations in the capacity to travel mentally in time.
This study aims to examine whether greater length of mindfulness practice results in more beneficial outcomes.

To overcome the obstacles of endoscopic surgery, the da vinci surgical robot system was applied to the various surgery area . And the complete understanding and practice of the robotic system is very important condition for successful robotic surgery. Investigator developed a home made robotic surgery simulator for novice robotic surgeons. And investigator want to study about the ability of home made robotic surgery simulator versus existing robotic simulation system.
