I Feel I Need to Think about It: A Defence of Affective Moral Enhancement

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Critics of affective moral enhancement generally contend that moral improvement can only be properly achieved through interventions that engage a person's rational faculties. Therefore, they view attempts to achieve moral improvement by targeting emotions as futile at best and detrimental to moral agency at worst.

Targeting acetylated high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and toll‐like receptor (TLR4) interaction to alleviate hypertension and neuroinflammation in fructose‐fed rats

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Our previous study reported that fructose intake increased systemic blood pressure and reduced nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) due to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear how reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce NO and how this process impacts neuroinflammation in ...

The intricate relationship between stress and animal welfare: from historical perspective to new avenues

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We discuss the intricate relationship between the evolution of the concept of stress and the development of the concept of animal welfare. After a brief review of the main concepts of animal welfare, we analyse important steps in the evolution of the concept of stress, starting from the mechanistic approach of the General Adaptation Syndrome ...

The Sympathetic Nervous System of Anamniotes

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2007
The sympathetic nervous system develops as an evolutionary trait with gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but not with agnathan fishes (i.e., hagfishes and lampreys). Organization of the sympathetic preganglionic neuronal columns is different in teleosts and anurans. In the teleosts so far examined, the majority of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs)

The Sympathetic Nervous System and Pain

NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2007
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and pain interact on many levels of the neuraxis. In healthy subjects, activation of the SNS in the brain usually suppresses pain mainly by descending inhibition of nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. Furthermore, some experimental data even suggest that the SNS might control peripheral inflammation and ...

The Effects of the Sympathetic Nervous System on Accommodation

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1972
The effects of beta sympathetic drugs on positive accommodation (accommodation for near vision) were studied in vervet monkeys. Isoproterenol, a beta sympathetic stimulator, depressed the positive accommodation function. It was not a complete antagonist since 3 to 4 diopters of accommodation remained.
