Motivations for Engaging in ACT Guide: An Online Digital Mental Health Intervention
Get PDFMental Health in the United States 24% of Americans, 60 million, experienced a mental health concern in the past year (Reinert et al., 2024). In 2024, 1 in 4 adults with continuous mental distress could not see a doctor due to cost (Reinert et al., 2024). Online programs can help provide resources to improve quality of life that are cost-effective and easily accessibl
Effects of C-Section Birth on Vasopressin 1a Receptors in the Prairie Vole Brain
Get PDFThe goal of this study was to understand how the brain might change depending on the birth experience: a vaginal birth or a cesarean section. C-sections have been associated with an increased risk of obesity and other behavioral and metabolic health conditions that are related to the function of hypothalamic hormones in the brain1. Vasopressin is one neuropeptide hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus and influences a variety of metabolic functions and behaviors, including water balance and social pair bonding2. This study used prairie voles to assess the effect of birth experience on the brain because of their human relatedness in thermoregulation, adult social behavior, and neurohormones. This study examined whether birth mode changed the densities of the receptors for vasopressin in the vole brain

Activation of Enkephalinergic Neurons Modulate Pain Within the Brain
Get PDFThe endogenous opioid system, consisting of three neuropeptides and canonical receptors, is ubiquitously expressed throughout the brain and is heavily involved in modulating pain[1]. However, research has placed tremendous focus on investigating the receptors of this system, and less attention has been devoted to the peptides. One such opioid peptide, enkephalin, is notably absent within the pain center of the brain, the periaqueductal gray (PAG)[2]. To further understand the role enkephalins play in modulating pain, we aimed to target and activate specific enkephalin-containing neurons that connect to the PAG. By activating these enkephalinergic projections, we hypothesized that this would lead to increased release of enkephalin into the PAG, providing enhanced antinociception, or pain relief. With the use of advanced techniques such as retrograde tracing and chemogenic approaches (i.e. DREADDs), we aimed to elucidate the role enkephalin plays in modulating pain and begin characterizing the enkephalin neural circuitry within the brain

Energy, Water, And the Cost of Intelligence
Get PDFArtificial intelligence is a term for a group of technologies that can perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and making decisions. AI has technically been around since the 1950s with basic forms in use such as a self-learning checkers program. However in the past decade this technology has been rapidly evolving and expanding into many forms that are actively used every day. This evolution is partially due to the vast advancements in computing power and data expansion. The use of artificial intelligence now seems to be a regular occurrence in people\u27s lives as personal,convenient, and easy to use tools have been developed, and as companies, websites, and media platforms continue to integrate forms of AI into their systems. As AI becomes more integrated into daily life, the demand for data centers grows
