    Abstract Sleep is a universal and evolutionarily conserved behavior among many animal species, yet we do not have a fundamental understanding of why animals need to sleep. What we do know, however, is that sleep is critical for behavioral performance during the waking period and for long-term brain health. Here we provide an overview of some putative mechanisms that mediate the restorative effects of sleep, namely metabolic biosynthesis, fluid perfusion, and synaptic homeostasis. We then review recent experimental findings that advance the possibility of inducing sleep-like slow-wave activity (SWA) during wakefulness or enhance SWA during sleep in a top-down manner using noninvasive brain stimulation. SWA induction and SWA enhancement are believed to recapitulate the beneficial effects of sleep independent of the actual state of the subjects. If confirmed, these observations will change the way in which we investigate the neural correlates of sleep, thus paving the way for comprehending and actively controlling its restorative function.

    Abstract This research aimed to evaluate goat milk rich in Omega-3 PUFA from animals fed extruded flaxseed as a raw material to produce fermented milk using beneficial lactobacilli. Experimental fermented milks were produced using Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota and two potential probiotic lactobacilli, namely Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus A2 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei FS109. The fermented milks were produced using milk from goats fed a basal diet without any supplementation (CON) and milk from goats supplemented with 200 g/d of extruded linseed (LIN). All lactobacilli tested grew well both in CON and LIN milk, reaching high numbers during fermentation. The colony count ranged between 8 and 10 Log CFU/mL, despite slow acidification activity, which occurred especially in milk fermented by L. FS109. By contrast, an undesired post-acidification occurred, more pronounced in CON than in LIN milk, which still highlighted the strong acid-tolerance of L. Shirota and L. rhamnosus A2 in particular. This research showed that goat milk enriched in PUFA had no negative effect on the viability of the tested Lactobacilli. Both values of L. Shirota and L. rhamnosus “live cells” throughout the cold storage of the products were higher than those recommended to guarantee the quality of fermented milk products, making them beneficial to consumers’ health.

    Abstract Purpose: To understand how macromolecular content varies in the human brain with age in a large cohort of healthy subjects.
    Methods: In-vivo
    Results: While weak age-related effects were observed for macromolecular peaks at ˜0.9 (MM09), ˜1.2 (MM12), and ˜1.4 (MM14) ppm, moderate to strong effects were observed for peaks at ˜1.7 (MM17), and ˜2.0 (MM20) ppm. Significantly higher MM17 and MM20 content started from 30 to 40 y of age, while for MM09, MM12, and MM14, significantly higher content started from 60 to 70 y of age.
    Conclusions: Our findings provide insights into age-related differences in macromolecular contents and strengthen the necessity of using age-matched measured macromolecules during quantification.

    Abstract Processing of incoming sensory stimulation triggers an increase of cerebral perfusion and blood oxygenation (neurovascular response) as well as an alteration of the metabolic neurochemical profile (neurometabolic response). Here, we show in human primary visual cortex (V1) that perceived and unperceived isoluminant chromatic flickering stimuli designed to have similar neurovascular responses as measured by blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) have markedly different neurometabolic responses as measured by proton functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-fMRS). In particular, a significant regional buildup of lactate, an index of aerobic glycolysis, and glutamate, an index of malate-aspartate shuttle, occurred in V1 only when the flickering was perceived, without any relation with other behavioral or physiological variables. Whereas the BOLD-fMRI signal in V1, a proxy for input to V1, was insensitive to flickering perception by design, the BOLD-fMRI signal in secondary visual areas was larger during perceived than unperceived flickering, indicating increased output from V1. These results demonstrate that the upregulation of energy metabolism induced by visual stimulation depends on the type of information processing taking place in V1, and that 1H-fMRS provides unique information about local input/output balance that is not measured by BOLD-fMRI.

    Abstract Background: Walking on compliant surfaces, on sand in particular, is now recommended for training in both elderlies and injured subjects/individuals, allowing to perform high intensity exercises (i.e. augmented energy expenditure) in safe conditions (i.e. minimizing the impact on the joints and the risk of fall). Nevertheless, despite the assessment of energetics of walking on sand, the quantitative biomechanical characterization of walking on sand in ecological conditions is largely lacking.
    Research question: Which is the effect of sand surface on gait speed, gait temporal segmentation and their variability as related to surface compliance in ecological condition?
    Methods: Eighteen healthy adults were assessed while walking on solid ground, dry-, and wet sand in ecological conditions by means of wearable inertial sensors (Miniwave, Cometa s.r.l., Italy). The best performing algorithm for the segmentation of walking on sand was selected among 17 algorithms designed for solid ground. Gait timing (i.e. speed, temporal segmentation, variability) was analysed, for the first time, with respect to sand compliance, and compared to walking on solid ground.
    Results: Self-selected speed on a 60 m distance increased when walking on sand with respect to solid ground (Median 1.02 m/s), with the highest speed on wet sand (Median 1.15 m/s). A stabilizing strategy on the uneven surface provided by sand was highlighted by i) increased stance and double support durations with respect to speed on wet sand, and ii) increased short-term variability of stride, corresponding to continual adjustments of the lower limbs due to shifting surface provided by sand.
    Significance: This study represents the first step in the objective characterization of walking on compliant surfaces as sand, necessary for the definition of training and rehabilitative programs.
