Time perception involves our subjective experience of time passage, often distorted by factors such as emotions or context. Our internal timekeeper, chronoception, regulates our perception of time intervals. The second is a standard unit of time measurement, while the eyeblink serves as a natural indicator of time. Our ability to estimate duration and time intervals…

Northern Australia’s water resources are vital for its ecosystems, economy, and communities. Groundwater supports delicate Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) and requires careful water management. The region’s surface water, supplied by rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, provides important sources for agriculture, consumption, and recreation. Water rights systems define ownership and usage, while infrastructure enables effective water storage,…
Cold heat strain, also known as hypothermia, occurs when the body’s core temperature drops below normal due to prolonged exposure to cold. As the body attempts to maintain its core temperature, it triggers physiological responses such as cold-induced vasodilation, where blood vessels in the skin expand to dissipate heat, and cold-induced vasoconstriction, where blood vessels…

Stopping low-dose naltrexone can lead to withdrawal symptoms due to psychological and physical dependence. Gradual tapering helps reduce withdrawal intensity. Withdrawal symptoms can include increased cravings, anxiety, and physical discomfort. Managing withdrawal involves understanding naltrexone’s half-life, coping strategies, and expecting symptom duration of 5-7 days. Withdrawal Symptoms from Low-Dose Naltrexone: What to Expect Naltrexone, a…
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized tissue that plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature and preventing weight gain. The melanocortin system, a network of hormones and receptors, is pivotal in activating BAT thermogenesis, a process by which energy is dissipated as heat. The melanocortin system, particularly the MC4 receptor, stimulates BAT thermogenesis…
Large eye nerves, such as the trigeminal, oculomotor, facial, and vestibulocochlear nerves, play crucial roles in sensory and motor functions of the face, eyes, and balance. The trigeminal nerve provides sensory innervation to the face and motor innervation to the muscles of mastication, while the oculomotor nerve controls eye movements. The facial nerve animates facial…
