Optimizing cerebrovascular endothelial health through shear stress modulation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The endothelium plays a pivotal role in regulating cerebrovascular blood flow, and its dysfunction increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Endothelial shear stress, a primary mechanical stimulus for endothelial nitric oxide production, is a key modulator of vascular adaptation.

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Marked C‐tactile afferent suppression by a plastic film does not proportionately diminish pleasantness of gentle brushing

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Human skin contains several classes of mechanoreceptive afferents that encode mechanical stimulation. For example, C‑tactile (CT) afferents are suggested to signal the pleasant aspects of gentle touch and are activated effectively by slow brushing of hairy skin.

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

Transcranial direct current stimulation enhances delayed retention after 5 days of lower‐limb motor skill learning

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the 5 day lower‐limb motor skill learning protocol combining ankle visuomotor practice with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Participants were allocated to motor skill practice with active tDCS over the leg representation of primary motor cortex (SKILL‐STIM), motor skill practice with sham ...
