Meditation and exposure to auditory mantra are increasingly being acknowledged for their ability to modulate neural activity and promote relaxation, particularly during pregnancy—a period marked by heightened emotional and physiological sensitivity. This EEG study looked at 43 pregnant women with their eyes closed in three different states: resting state (RS), while listening to a mantra (M),...

Purpose: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a widely used non-invasive method to explore brain activity and cognitive states, including the effects of meditation. The potential of prenatal EEG to understand the neural mechanisms underlying maternal brain activity makes it an exciting field of study. However, research on prenatal EEG during different stages of meditation is currently lacking....

Meditation has been widely used to enhance cognitive health, particularly during pregnancy. θ-power, associated with cognitive processes such as attention and relaxation, is often prominent in the frontal region, which plays a critical role in executive functions and emotional regulation. This study investigated the effects of brief meditation on θ-power using EEG data from the PEM-43 dataset....

Prenatal women's mental condition found among various women in this modernized world, poses as one of the great public health issues because it significantly impacts maternal and fetal health. Since mental states might be one of the aspects affecting activities in the brain, researchers have proved that alpha frequency has particularly impacted it because this particular stage is linked with...

Hyperthermia induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) can be life-threatening. Here, we investigate the role of the gut microbiome and TGR5 bile acid receptors in MDMA-mediated hyperthermia. Fourteen days prior to treatment with MDMA, male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided water or water treated with antibiotics. Animals that had received antibiotics displayed a reduction in gut...
