Reward-related suppression of neural activity in macaque visual area v4

Shapcott, Katharine A ; Schmiedt, Joscha T ; Kouroupaki, Kleopatra ; Kienitz, Ricardo ; Lazar, Andreea ; Singer, Wolf ; Schmid, Michael C

In: Cerebral Cortex, 2020, vol. 30, no. 9, p. 4871–4881

In order for organisms to survive, they need to detect rewarding stimuli, for example, food or a mate, in a complex environment with many competing stimuli. These rewarding stimuli should be detected even if they are nonsalient or irrelevant to the current goal. The value-driven theory of attentional selection proposes that this detection takes place through reward-associated stimuli...

Biomechanical agreement between different imitation jumps and hill jumps in ski jumping

Ketterer, Jakob ; Gollhofer, Albert ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020, p. sms.13834

Even though the take‐off in ski jumping is decisive, athletes only have a very limited number of training trials on the actual ski jump to practice under real ski jump conditions. Hence, various imitation jumps aiming to mimic the hill jump are performed during daily training. These imitation jumps should therefore mimic the kinematic pattern of hill jumps appropriately. This study aimed to...

Fat oxidation kinetics is related to muscle deoxygenation kinetics during exercise

Zurbuchen, Anouck ; Lanzi, Stefano ; Voirol, Ludovic ; Trindade, Cybele Barboza ; Gojanovic, Boris ; Kayser, Bengt ; Bourdillon, Nicolas ; Chenevière, Xavier ; Malatesta, Davide

The present study aimed to determine whether whole-body fat oxidation and muscle deoxygenation kinetics parameters during exercise were related in individuals with different aerobic fitness levels.Methods: Eleven cyclists [peak oxygen uptake (V.O2peak): 64.9 ± 3.9 mL⋅kg–1⋅min–1] and 11 active individuals (V.O2peak: 49.1 ± 7.4 mL⋅kg–1⋅min–1) performed a maximal incremental...
