The paper investigates resistance to diamide insecticides in Helicoverpa armigera, finding distinct genetic routes for chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide resistance despite sharing the same molecular target.

The paper links acute stress brain responses to everyday stress variability, finding greater variability correlates with stronger neural stress responses in specific brain regions.

This study shows that non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation reduces Pavlovian response biases only after a caloric load, suggesting state-dependent modulation related to metabolic interoception.

This study investigates how non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation affects pupil dilation and finds that effects depend on differences in perceived sensation between stimulation and sham conditions.

This study finds that higher glucose levels are associated with lower self-reported stress and can predict subsequent stress changes in healthy individuals.

This study shows that glucose levels are linked to mood, but this link is fully mediated by conscious ratings of metabolic state, not subconscious processes.

This study examines how metabolic and hormonal factors influence cortisol reactivity to acute stress through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 studies.

This paper performs a Bayesian meta-analysis comparing continuous and pulsed tVNS protocols on pupil dilation, finding stronger evidence for pulsed tVNS effects.

The paper examines how stress-induced brain responses relate to BMI in women, finding that specific brain regions predict BMI and that endocrine factors, not inflammation, are linked to these changes.

The paper identifies spatio-temporal brain network reconfigurations during stress that predict negative affectivity but not disorder diagnosis.

Influenca is a gamified app for repeated assessment of reward learning, showing moderate reliability in reinforcement learning parameters over time.

This study shows that non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation improves positive mood after physical and cognitive exertion, with effects dependent on baseline mood.

This paper tests if a machine learning model predicting stress from hippocampal connectivity generalizes to psychosocial stress, finding limited generalizability.

This study shows that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) increases vigor for rewards, particularly for food, but not effort maintenance, with left-side stimulation having a stronger effect.

This study shows that vagus nerve stimulation impairs reinforcement learning by reducing the learning rate, particularly after punishment, in a go/no-go task.
