Anxiety & Stress

The Impact of Chronic Phthalate Exposure on Rodent Anxiety and Cognition.

BACKGROUND: There is a growing importance for environmental contributions to psychiatric disorders and understanding the impact of the exposome (i.e., pollutants and toxins). For example, increased biomonitoring and epidemiological studies suggest that daily phthalate chemical exposure contributes to neurological and behavioral abnormalities; however, these mechanisms remain poorly understood. The...

Deep Learning Models for Stress Analysis in University Students: A Sudoku-Based Study.

Due to the phenomenon of "involution" in China, the current generation of college and university students are experiencing escalating levels of stress, both academically and within their families. Extensive research has shown a strong correlation between heightened stress levels and overall well-being decline. Therefore, monitoring students' stress levels is crucial for improving their well-being ...
