The React & Rebound Model: Capturing Emotion Regulation Dynamics from Passive Wearable Data

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Gazzaley | Authors: Andrew C Heusser, Tony J Simon, Esther Elliot, Christopher James, Adam Gazzaley and Nicole Gibson | Summary: Background Emotion regulation—the ability to respond to and restore equilibrium after emotional perturbations—is central to mental health. Yet objective measurement remains limited to lab-based studies with group-level results, while consumer wearables focus […]

NMDA receptor-dependent presynaptic homeostatic plasticity?

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Nicoll | Authors: tianli dou, junting zhang, yidan hong, xiumin chen and roger nicoll | Summary: Excitatory glutamatergic synapses in the brain are remarkably plastic. Two forms of plasticity have received the most attention: long-term potentiation (LTP) and synaptic homeostasis. While LTP requires the activation of NMDA receptors, synaptic homeostasis does not. […]
