Therefore, the clinical care and support of IPV victim-survivors could be enhanced by BI screening and assessment in various settings (e.g., first responders, emergency departments, primary care providers, rehabilitation, shelters, and research). Further, appropriate screening and assessment for IPV-BI will support more accurate identifications, and prevalence estimates, improve understanding of health implications, and have the potential to inform policy decisions. Here we overview the seven available tools that have been used for IPV-BI screening and assessment purposes, including the BISA, BISQ-IPV, BAT-L/IPV, OSU TBI-ID, the HELPS, and the CHATS, and outline the advantages and disadvantages of these screening tools in the clinical, community, and research settings.

Past studies of olfaction in mammals often have focused on its mechanisms in isolation from other systems, limiting the generalizability of findings from olfactory research to perceptual processes in other modalities. Studies of chemical communication, in particular, have progressed independently of research on vocal behavior and acoustic communication. Those bioacousticians who have considered how sound production and reception might interact with olfaction often portray odors as cues to the kinds of vocalizations that might be functionally useful. In the olfaction literature, vocalizations are rarely mentioned. Here, we propose that ultrasonic vocalizations may affect what rodents smell by altering the deposition of inhaled particles and that rodents coordinate active sniffing with sound production specifically to enhance reception of pheromones. In this scenario, rodent vocalizations may contribute to a unique mode of active olfactory sensing, in addition to whatever roles they serve as social signals. Consideration of this hypothesis highlights the perceptual advantages that parallel coordination of multiple sensorimotor processes may provide to individuals exploring novel situations and environments, especially those involving dynamic social interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56105,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105908"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over-nutrition of energy-dense foods and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the development of obesity, characterized by excessive fat storage and impaired metabolic signaling, stemming from disrupted brain signaling. Conversely, dieting and physical activity facilitate body weight rebalancing and trigger adaptive neural responses. These adaptations involve the upregulation of neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and optimized brain function and energy homeostasis, balanced hormone signaling, normal metabolism, and reduced inflammation. The transition of the brain from a maladaptive to an adaptive state is partially guided by epigenetic mechanisms. While epigenetic mechanisms underlying obesity-related brain changes have been described, their role in mediating the reversal of maladaptation/obesity through lifestyle interventions remains less explored. This review focuses on elucidating epigenetic mechanisms involved in hypothalamic adaptations induced by lifestyle interventions. Given that lifestyle interventions are widely prescribed and accessible approaches for weight loss and maintenance, it is our challenge to uncover epigenetic mechanisms moderating these hypothalamic-functional beneficial changes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56105,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105906"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
