- 1From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Akira Yasukouchi1 Two years have passed since the Journal of Physiological Anthropology (JPA ) adopted an open-access policy. The Editorial issued in 2012 provided an overview of the scope of the JPA [1]...
- 2From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Numerous studies have reported on the healing powers of plants and nature, but there have not been so many instances of experimental research. In particular, there are very few psychological and...
- 3From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Our aim was to determine the association between melanopsin gene polymorphism and pupillary light reflex under diverse photic conditions, including different intensities and wavelengths. Methods A...
- 4From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The purpose of this study was to examine maturity-related differences in anthropometry and body composition in Japanese youth within a single year. Methods Two hundred and ten Japanese youth aged...
- 5From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Heat stress induces various physiological changes and so could influence ocular circulation. This study examined the effect of heat stress on ocular blood flow. Findings Ocular blood flow, end-tidal...
- 6From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Although serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have been associated with hypertension, and ALP is known as an enzyme affected by alcohol consumption, no study has been published on the associations...
- 7From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Adaptation changes in postural control and contingent negative variation (CNV) for the elderly were investigated during repeated forward floor translation. Methods Fifteen healthy elderly persons,...
- 8From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedContributing reviewers The editors of Journal of Physiological Anthropology would like to thank all our reviewers who have contributed to the journal in Volume 31 (2012). Author(s): Akira Yasukouchi1 Tatsuro...
- 9From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground This study aims to examine the relationship between tyrosine and phenylalanine intake at breakfast as precursors of dopamine, and scores on the Torsvall-Ãkerstedt Diurnal Type Scale and of mental...
- 10From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Reaction time for anti-saccade, in which the gaze is directed to the position opposite to an illuminated target, shortens during maintenance of neck flexion. The present study applied transcranial magnetic...
- 11From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThis study was designed to investigate the relationship between the microclimate temperature and clothing insulation (I.sub.cl) under comfortable environmental conditions. In total, 20 subjects (13 women, 7 men) took...
- 12From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The causes of dental crowding are not fully understood, but it may result from an evolutionary trend towards reduced facial volume, without a proportional reduction in tooth sizes. Most previous studies...
- 13From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Interaction with nature has a relaxing effect on humans. Increasing attention has been focused on the therapeutic effects of urban green space; however, there is a lack of evidence-based field research....
- 14From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Quantitative evaluation of mental stress is important to prevent stress-related disorders. Finger plethysmography (FPG) is a simple noninvasive method to monitor peripheral circulation, and provides many...
- 15From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender-wise diversity of digital dermatoglyphic traits in a sample of Sinhalese people in Sri Lanka. Findings Four thousand and thirty-four digital prints of...

Higher ventilatory responses during and after passive walking-like leg movement in older individuals
Background Minute ventilation (V*E) during walking has been shown to be higher in older individuals than in young individuals, but the mechanisms underlying the higher ventilatory response is unclear. Central command... - 17From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The skeletal muscle mass of the lower limb plays a role in its mobility during daily life. From the perspective of physical resources, leg muscle mass dominantly decreases after the end of the fifth...
- 18From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In recent years, the physiological relaxation effects of natural environments have been widely exploited, and although individual differences in the effects of forest therapy are known, assessment methods...
- 19From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Despite increasing attention and a growing volume of research data, little physiological evidence is available on the benefits of horticultural activity and the different effects on individuals. Therefore,...
- 20From: Journal of Physiological Anthropology. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground This study tested the hypothesis that the core interthreshold zone (CIZ) changes during exposure to red or blue light via the non-visual pathway, because it is known that light intensity affects the...
