Investigating a New Mechanism of Cutaneous Vasoconstriction during Cold Exposure in Humans: The Role of Thermosensitive TRPM8 Channels
Thermosensitive TRP channels, which recently attracted attention through the Nobel Prize, have been implicated in human thermoregulation. This study examined the role of TRPM8 in cutaneous vasoconstriction, a response essential for thermoregulation during cold exposure.

Does Incremental Exercise to Exhaustion Cause Cognitive Fatigue?
Our research examines the mechanisms of cognitive fatigue experienced during exercise, including reduced attention and concentration. This presentation introduces the effects of incremental exercise to exhaustion, a commonly used model of exhaustive exercise, on executive function and considers the exercise conditions that give rise to cognitive fatigue.
