Sympathetic nervous activity plays a prominent role in acute stress responses in the immune system, enhancement of innate immunity and suppression of specific immunity. The present study was conducted to examine the temporal characteristics of such immune responses to acute stress and to determine their association with sympathetic activity in detail. For this purpose, 15 female undergraduates engaged in a continuous mental arithmetic task for 14 min, and we collected their blood samples for immune indices (CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, NK cells) each 3 min during the task and saliva samples before and after the task. Our results showed that the proportion of Natural Killer cells (NK cells) increased even 2 min after initiation of the task, whereas proportions of CD3+ and CD4+ lymphocytes decreased 8 min after initiation of the task. Moreover, we found significant correlations between cardiovascular activity and the variations of immune indices. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Neural evidence of effects of emotional valence on word recognition. Reviewed International journal

There are no clear reports of electrophysiological evidence of the facilitating effect of negative valence on word recognition. However, behavioral psychological studies have suggested that negative words can be recognized more accurately than positive and neutral words. This study aimed to examine whether, and if so how, the valence of words could influence accuracy and event-related potentials (ERPs) in a recognition task. ERPs were recorded from 20 healthy subjects during performance of a word recognition task. We found a behavioral advantage in discriminability between old and new items for negative words. As for ERPs, the positive-going shift was evident for correct responses to targets in late latency at midline and left centro-parietal sites. Additionally, the magnitude of this component was greatest for negative targets, next for positive targets, and least for neutral targets. The findings offer support for the idea that negative content greatly accelerates recognition memory compared to positive and neutral words.

Effects of value and reward magnitude on feedback negativity and P300 Reviewed

Feedback negativity is a negative component of the event-related brain potential observed 250-300 ms after feedback stimuli. The present study investigated the effects of value (correct or incorrect) and reward magnitude (no, small or large) on feedback negativity and P300. Feedback negativity was larger after incorrect feedback than after correct feedback, irrespective of reward magnitude. In contrast, P300 amplitude increased with reward magnitude, irrespective of value. The amplitude of feedback negativity was correlated with a trait score of negative affect and not positive affect, whereas P300 amplitude was correlated with positive affect and not negative affect. These results suggest that value and reward magnitude are processed separately in the brain. (c) 2005 Lippincott Williams F Wilkins.

Innate immune cells such as natural killer increase and acquired immune cells such as T cells decrease accompanying acute stress (redistribution of lymphocytes). This study examined effects of controllability of an acute stressor on the redistribution of lymphocytes. It was clarified that redistribution is suppressed in an uncontrollable situation. We further clarified mediating mechanisms of the phenomena and discussed significance of the phenomena in adaptation.

The effect of external information on the evaluation of subliminally presented facial expressions

In this experiment, it was examined whether it is possible to detect what was presented subliminally when feedback (correct or incorrect) was given. Sixteen healthy right-handed undergraduate and graduate students were participated as subjects. Three (facial emotions: angry, happy, neutral) x three (feedback: available, no, random) factors were located within a subject. After a mask stimulus (neutral face) was presented, subjects were required to answer what was presented as a prime face by pressing one of three buttons. After subject's response, feedback was given as "correct" or "wrong" in feedback-available condition and "00000" in no feedback condition. In random feedback condition, the probability of presenting "correct" and "incorrect" was fixed as 3:7. ANOVA was performed on result of RT, hit rate, and d'. As for RT, the main effect of feedback was significant. As for hit rate, the interaction between facial expressions and feedback conditions was significant. Multiple comparison corrected by LSD on angry face revealed marginal significance between feedback-available and no-feedback, and significant difference between random-feedback and no-feedback. On neutral face, significant difference was found between feedback-available and no-feedback, and feedback-available and random feedback. In angry face condition, hit rate was lower than other conditions, and in neutral face condition, feedback-available condition showed lower hit rate than other conditions. About d', significant difference was not found among conditions. From above, it could be said that in no-feedback condition primed stimuli tend to be judged as neutral, but as long as feedback was given, subject's judgments shifted to answer that the prime was angry face.

Although the neural basis of the unconscious priming effect has previously been investigated, the results of these studies have possibly been contaminated by a conscious priming effect. The aim of the present study was to dissociate the effects of conscious and unconscious priming on event-related potential (ERP) by using the process-dissociation procedure. A prime word was presented briefly, followed by a word-stem, in each trial. Under the inclusion condition, subjects were instructed to complete the word-stem using the prime word, while under the exclusion condition subjects were asked to complete the word-stem with a word not seen as prime. The behavioral priming effect was obtained under both conditions, indicating that the prime words were processed unconsciously and influenced the word-stem completion task. We found that two ERP components were affected by repetition priming. First, the N400 amplitude was decreased by word repetition under the inclusion condition, but not under the exclusion condition. This result suggests that N400 would reflect conscious lexical processing, but not unconscious lexical activation. Second, the negativity at left front lateral region was enhanced by word repetition under the exclusion condition. We discuss this finding herein in relation to the activity of the left inferior prefrontal cortex with regard to word semantic processing. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
