概括
长时间暴露在超声波 (IS) 中会改变静止状态网络中的大脑连接,影响默认模式,传感器和执行控制网络. 这些变化与体质症状和烦相关,突出了个人对IS的敏感性.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 环境健康 环境健康
- 心理学 心理学 心理学
背景情况:
- 长时间暴露于超声波 (IS) 的神经效应在很大程度上仍然没有特征.
- 之前关于IS和大脑功能的研究是有限的,只有一个研究检查了功能连接 (FC) 变化.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究长期,无声的超声波暴露对休息状态网络中大脑功能连接 (FC) 的影响.
- 探索超声波灵敏度作为FC变化的预测因素,并检查FC和体质症状之间的相关性.
主要方法:
- 一项为期四周的随机对照试验,38名参与者每晚8小时暴露在6Hz,80-90dB的超声波或假装设备中.
- 在听觉,默认模式 (DMN),传感器 (SMN) 和执行控制 (ECN) 网络中使用静止状态fMRI评估FC变化.
- 分析IS诱导的FC变化,体征症状和自我报告的烦之间的相关性.
主要成果:
- 超声波暴露减少了右前 (DMN) 的FC,并在Vermis IV和V (SMN) 中增加了FC.
- 观察到ECN连接的显著变化,包括右中额头 (BA8) 和右下叶增加的FC.
- 在右下垂体叶的ECN变化与烦有负相关性,而右前皮的DMN变化与体征症状有负相关性.
结论:
- 这项研究提供了第一个证据,证明长时间暴露于超声波会改变DMN,SMN和ECN中的大脑FC,但不会改变听觉网络.
- 对超声波反应的个体差异可能与敏感性,烦和身体症状有关.
- 未来的研究应该专注于灵敏度标志物和详细的症状评估,以了解超声波效应的个体变化.

Sound Intensity Level
4.1K
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Sensation
524
Sensory receptors are specialized neurons that respond to specific types of external stimuli, initiating the process known as sensation. This occurs when sensory input, such as light entering the eye, is detected by these receptors, causing chemical changes in the cells of the retina. These cells then convert the sensory stimulus into action potentials that are transmitted to the central nervous system, a process termed transduction.

Perception of Sound Waves
4.4K
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...
