Ecological momentary assessment studies exploring the dynamics of cardiac interoception showed substantial fluctuations of IAcc and IS in everyday life. States of increased (physiologically indicated) stress, such as decreased heart rate variability (HRV), may hamper interoceptive skills, while more relaxed states (higher HRV) seem to go along with increased IAcc. We built on this and investigated if higher (physiological) stress indicated via HRV reductions independent of metabolic needs (i.e., additional HRV reduction, AddHRVr) could (differentially) predict IAcc and IS, respectively. In an initial sample of 119 participants, with data of (up to) three consecutive days, we simulated the predictive value of AddHRVr. We found that AddHRVr before an ambulatory cardiac interoception task predicted poor IAcc and higher IS. We replicated this pattern of findings in an independent sample of 66 participants. Both studies provide first insights into the dynamics of IAcc and IS in daily life, which seems to differ when following AddHRVr. This lays the groundwork for just in time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) supporting individuals in states of high vulnerability and promoting cardiac interoceptive skills.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20201,"journal":{"name":"Physiology & Behavior","volume":"296 ","pages":"Article 114928"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143886260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the hypothesis that cytochrome C oxidase (COX) expression changes in the subiculum and anterior thalamic nuclei of subjects exposed to training and testing in an extrapolation of serial stimulus pattern task that stimulates the generation of predictions. Shortly, male Wistar rats were trained to run through a straight alleyway to receive variable amounts of sunflower seeds. In each session (one session per day), the animals ran 4 successive trials, receiving different amounts of sunflower seeds in each trial. Subjects exposed to the monotonic pattern (M) received 14, 7, 3, and 1 sunflower seeds. Subjects exposed to the non-monotonic pattern (NM) received 14, 3, 7, and 1 sunflower seeds. The animals were trained for 20 sessions. In the 21st session, a fifth trial, never experienced before by the subjects, was added immediately after the fourth trial. An additional control group was not exposed to training in the task, allowing evaluation of COX expression in untrained subjects. Data revealed increased COX activity in the anteroventral thalamus, and in the ventral subiculum, all related to training in the NM, but not M, schedule of reward. Data also revealed reduced COX activity in the dorsal portion of the subiculum, restricted to subjects trained with the NM serial pattern. These figures suggest that the anteroventral thalamus and the ventral and dorsal subiculum are engaged in the acquisition of extrapolation of serial stimulus pattern tasks, thus opening novel avenues to studying neural brain circuits involved in generating predictions. One possibility, for instance, would be to evaluate the time course of these COX activations in association with training in the M and NM serial patterns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20201,"journal":{"name":"Physiology & Behavior","volume":"296 ","pages":"Article 114926"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143868928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms of pair formation and maintenance appear to be distinct, although relatively little is known about pair maintenance compared to bond formation. A social conditioned place preference (SCPP) test, a paradigm not often used, could be used to reveal differences in the mechanisms of bond formation and maintenance. Here we used the SCPP test across two experiments to investigate how the behavioral and neuroendocrine mechanisms of social affiliation change over the course of pair bonding in the monogamous zebra finch. In our procedure, we had three 30 min phases: preconditioning occurring on Day 1, followed by conditioning and postconditioning, both on Day 2. In our first experiment, we simply asked whether courting and paired dyads would form SCPPs in this assay. We found evidence that courting, but not paired birds, formed SCPPs. This was particularly evident for courting females. Courting and paired dyads also engaged in different behaviors during the conditioning phase. Despite these effects of social context on behavior, there was no clear relationship between these behavioral differences and the formation of SCPPs for courting males or females. We next tested whether pharmacological treatment with D1 and D2 receptor agonists would alter the effects of social context on the formation of SCPPs. Specifically, we hypothesized that treatment with a D1-agonist (SKF 38393) would block the formation of SCPPs in courting dyads and that activation of D2-like receptors (quinpirole) would induce SCPPs in already established pairs. In contrast with Experiment 1, we did not see any groups forming SCPPs, but paired males, regardless of pharmacological treatment, appeared to form aversions to the conditioning side. Furthermore, there was significantly less courtship and affiliative behavior in the second experiment. Combined, this leads us to suspect that coupling the SCPP with an s.c. injection made the entire procedure too aversive to reveal any SCPP. Despite this, there were subtle effects of pharmacological manipulation on social behavior during the conditioning phase. All together, the results from our two experiments (1) suggest that there are differences in the mechanisms by which courting and paired dyads relate to their partner in novel environments, (2) highlight the differences in social interactions between courting and paired birds, and (3) leave open the possibility that dopamine signaling differentially shapes social behavior and the formation of SCPPs in courting and paired birds.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20201,"journal":{"name":"Physiology & Behavior","volume":"297 ","pages":"Article 114925"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143946752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanisms underlying how social touch elicits pleasant or aversive responses are poorly understood. Furthermore, it remains unclear how alterations in sensory processing, at both the perceptual level (i.e. detection and discrimination of stimuli) and behavioral level (i.e. response to stimuli), shape the experience of social touch, in addition to contextual factors such as gender and culture. In the current study, we used vibrotactile psychophysics and a novel social touch paradigm to assess the association between tactile perceptual differences and social touch preference in two cross-cultural cohorts (56 adults in the UK and 21 adults in Singapore). We found that participants with poorer tactile discrimination thresholds in both cohorts had lower pleasantness ratings for social touch, and higher pleasantness ratings for non-social touch, with a stronger predictive effect than gender or culture alone. We also found evidence of strong gender effects, such that female participants rated different-gender touch as less pleasant than males. Singaporean participants also showed lower preferences for social touch than UK participants. Our results suggest a bottom-up perceptual mechanism in linking poorer tactile discrimination with greater social touch aversion in adults. Furthermore, while some cultural differences between cohorts were observed at the contextual level, perceptual contributions to social touch preference appeared to be conserved, suggesting a shared biological mechanism between cultures. These findings could have implications for clinical conditions that are characterised by altered sensory and social processing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20201,"journal":{"name":"Physiology & Behavior","volume":"297 ","pages":"Article 114918"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143916249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated how resting autonomic nervous activity measured by skin conductance level (SCL) relates to approach-avoidance decisions in response to facial expressions. After recording resting SCL, participants performed an approach-avoidance task (AAT) with emotional facial stimuli. The task required either approaching happy faces while avoiding angry faces (value-congruent condition) or the opposite pattern (value-incongruent condition). Reaction times (RTs) were significantly faster in value-congruent conditions compared to value-incongruent conditions. The resting SCL showed a significant correlation with the congruency effect (RT difference between conditions). These findings suggest that resting autonomic states, particularly sympathetic arousal, may contribute to the efficiency of approach-avoidance responses. Higher sympathetic activity at rest predicted more efficient responses to emotional faces, potentially reflecting enhanced action readiness.
