		<title>The beneficial effects of regular exercise on cognition in REM sleep deprivation: Behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular evidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inadequate sleep is prevalent in modern societies and is known to profoundly impair cognitive function. We examined the impact of 4weeks of regular treadmill exercise on sleep deprivation induced spatial learning and memory, synaptic plasticity and related signaling molecules in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus. Rats were exercised on a treadmill and subsequently sleep-deprived [...]]]></description>

		<title>Predictors of the Longevity Difference: A 25-Year Follow-Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty-two variables were found to be significant predictors of longevity among 252 panelists in a 25-year longitudinal study of aging. The strongest independent predictors for men were health self-rating, work satisfaction, and performance intelligence; for women they were health satisfaction, past enjoyment of intercourse, and physical function rating. These predictors could constitute a combined difference [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alcohol Has a Dose-Related Effect on Parasympathetic Nerve Activity During Sleep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Background:? The aim of this study was to identify the acute effects of ethanol on the relationship between sleep and heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep. Methods:? Ten healthy male university students were enrolled in this study. An alcoholic beverage was given to each subject at a dosage of 0 (control), 0.5 (low dose: LD), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neuronal Shc: A gene of longevity in the brain ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aging is inevitable to all multi-cellular organisms, and each organism has its own lifespan. The species-specific lifespan seems determined genetically; however little is known about how the lifespan determined. During the last decades accumulative evidence indicates that there is certainly a set of genes that are involved in the lifespan determination. Among those dozens of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cognitive reserve and its implications for rehabilitation and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to the Cognitive reserve hypothesis, several factors related to mental engagement, such as level of education, type of occupation, leisure activities and social network, appear to affect the risk of developing clinical dementia. The present article provides an overview of the studies that have investigated the effects of mental engagement and cognitive stimulation specifically [...]]]></description>

		<title>Focusing Attention on the Health Aspects of Foods Changes Value Signals in vmPFC and Improves Dietary Choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Attention is thought to play a key role in the computation of stimulus values at the time of choice, which suggests that attention manipulations could be used to improve decision-making in domains where self-control lapses are pervasive. We used an fMRI food choice task with non-dieting human subjects to investigate whether exogenous cues that direct [...]]]></description>

		<title>Successful aging and longevity in older old women: the role of depression and cognition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based in successful aging theory and terminal cognitive drop research, this paper investigates cerebrovascular burden (CVB), depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline as threats to longevity. A subsample of stroke-free women over the age of 80 was identified in the Health and Retirement Survey (years 2000-2008). Mortality at 2, 6, and 8 year intervals was predicted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Effect of 1 Week of Sleep Restriction on Testosterone Levels in Young Healthy Men</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chronic sleep curtailment is endemic in modern societies. The majority of the daily testosterone release in men occurs during sleep. 1 Sleep fragmentation and obstructive sleep apnea are associated with reduced testosterone levels. 2 In older men, morning testosterone levels are partly predicted by total sleep time. 3 Testosterone is critical in male sexual behavior [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy guys finish last: The impact of emotion expressions on sexual attraction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This research examined the relative sexual attractiveness of individuals showing emotion expressions of happiness, pride, and shame compared with a neutral control. Across two studies using different images and samples ranging broadly in age (total N = 1041), a large gender difference emerged in the sexual attractiveness of happy displays: happiness was the most attractive [...]]]></description>
