Twin method is a traditional way to investigate genetic and environmental (shared and nonshared) influences on human behavior. The number of publicity using twin method is continuously growing recently which robustly shows substantial genetic contribution to almost any aspects of psychological individual differences. Molecular biological techniques and multivariate statistical method called structural equation modeling (SEM) provide several generalizable findings such as very small effect of each single gene, significant genetic mediation in phenotypic correlation, heritability increase in IQ from infancy to young adulthood, and socially important gene x environment interaction. Discordant identical twin method has a powerful possibility to investigate epigenetics.

This study measured and analyzed the amount of saliva and the taste threshold in response to lighting conditions (illuminance and color temperature) in different ethnic groups. Ten Japanese and ten Chinese healthy non-smoking male college students participated in the study. According to the results of repeated-measure ANOVA, the effect of illumination on the amount of saliva was significant in the Japanese students, and the Chinese students showed same tendencies regarding their saliva response, but not significant. On the other hand, the effect of illuminance on the taste threshold was considered significant in both these groups. Regarding the effect of color temperature, this study found significant changes in taste threshold only for Chinese. It is interesting to note that significant differences in the taste threshold regarding a salty taste were seen between the subject groups. The results of the present study indicated that the lighting condition could be considered an important parameter of taste sensation.

Thermal stimulation around the eyelids is known to accelerate the recovery from fatigue due to visual display terminal (VDT) operation and temporarily reduce accommodation; however, the region of the eye to which thermal stimulation should be applied to effectively restore visual fatigue remained unknown. Identifying this region will lead to a proposal of a device with a smaller heating area and unique shape. Therefore, in this study, subjective assessment and objective measurement were performed to investigate the effect of differences in the region of thermal stimulation on recovery from visual fatigue. The results of the investigation suggested that thermal stimulation to the medial angle of the eye produced larger effects on the brain and fatigue recovery than did stimulation to the external canthus.

In this article, we review the previous findings on relationships between the ability of time perception and pathology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Time perception deficits are suggested to be the third neuropsychological pathway of ADHD. Even though it is well known that ADHD patients overestimate the time passed, these effects and related mechanisms on ADHD are still unclear according to the complexity of ADHD pathology. While the neural localization related to time perception and ADHD neural dysfunctions related to executive function and reward partially overlap, dysfunction peculiar to time perception is also observed. Furthermore, ADHD and the typical development group may have different relationships between task performance of time perception and executive function systems. In future studies, response for time perception tasks in individuals with ADHD should be examined closely in particular from the perspective of task characters and ADHD complexity.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the difference in skin color between 50 Japanese women and 50 Korean women aged in their twenties. We measured the color of bare skin and foundation-applied skin by the Munsell System. Moreover we checked their preference for skin color with "skin color sample board" . The results were analyzed by using a three-factor (nationality, site, make-up) analysis of variance (3-way ANOVA). The results of this study are as follows. l)There was a significant difference between the Japanese and Korean women. The Japanese women had more reddish and brighter skin color than the Korean women. Moreover, the Japanese women showed a low Munsell value. 2) There were no differences in make-up tendencies to between the Japanese and Korean women. Both the Japanese and Korean women had yellowish make-up on their bare skin. In particular, they had darker make-up on their sides of their cheeks. It is a common method of make-up of Japanese and Korean women in their 20's.

In this study, we investigated the effect of a serotonin transporter gene polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) on praise seeking need and rejection avoidance need in young Japanese males (n=111). The results showed that there was no difference in praise seeking need and rejection avoidance need between serotonin transporter gene polymorphism types; however, the correlation between praise seeking need and rejection avoidance need was different depending on the presence of particular serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms. We suggest that serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms should be regarded as one possible factor that affects the relationship between praise seeking need and rejection avoidance need.

Light has various effects such as effects on human circadian rhythm, sleep, endocrine hormone, alertness, and pupillary light reflex. These effects are called "non-visual effects" or "non-image forming effects", are induced by light signals projecting to the hypothalamus in the brain, not to the visual area. Human physiological functions adapt to the natural light-dark cycle. However, dynamic changes in natural sunlight have a negative effect on mood and circadian rhythm in high-latitude regions in winter. In modern society, it has been reported that artificial light at night has negative effects on human health via non-image forming pathways. Study on adaptation to natural light and artificial light is important topic for study in the field of physiological anthropology.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lower trunk muscular contraction and variety of joint movement on 10 healthy males (20.9 ± 1.6 ages). As a result, with abdominal cave-in compared to abdominal bracing, we found active range of motion and isometric muscular strength in shoulder flexion, shoulder external rotation, hip flexion, hip extension, trunk rotation and trunk extension were increased. Also, the activation of transversus abdominis / obliquus internus on external rotation of shoulder, and the activation of gluteus maximus on trunk extension were increased significantly. The lumbar lordorsis angle and the abdomen length were decreased significantly with abdominal cave-in compared to abdominal bracing.

In this study, neonates calming responses to three cases of noise, as well as 'no sound' case were assessed with behavioral indices. The three cases of noise are as follows; white noise, pink noise and brown noise. The subjects were 11 neonates (less than four days old). The subjects were exposed to each noise at 70 dB (A-weighted sound pressure level). It was clarified by experimental results that each noise calmed crying neonates down significantly in compare with the 'no sound' case. Particularly brown noise was most effective to calm down crying neonates, since there were marginally significant differences in coded behavioral score between brown noise and the other noises.

The airflow velocity in clothing (AVC) was measured by using the bi-directional airflow sensor in order to observe the chimney effect and the pumping effect. Eight female participants were asked to wear a separate type raincoat and they kept themselves in a stationary state or performed the rhythmic work. The climatic chamber was controlled at 23℃ or 18℃ (RH50% ). The AVC caused by chimney effect was higher at 18℃ than at 23℃ significantly. The highest value (0.43m/sec) was observed at the chest area. The pumping effect triggered by the rhythmic work caused the air in clothing flowed from the trunk towards the cuff or the hem of a raincoat and overwhelmed the chimney effect.

To clarify the differences in the perception of color between two groups with different iris colors, we measured color discrimination ability by the 100 hue test under an illuminance of 500 or 30 lx in Caucassian females with blue-green irises and Mongoloid females with brown irises, and obtained the following results. The total deviation score at 30 lx did not significantly differ between the Caucasian and Mongoloid groups, but that at 500 lx was lower in the Mongoloid group, suggesting that color discrimination was easier at 500 lx in the Mongoloid group. In the Caucasian group, hue discrimination was more difficult in the region from green (G) to purplish blue (PB) compared with the Mongoloid group under an illuminance of 500 lx, and the spectral luminous efficiency decreased in the blue (B) region in the light condition. In both groups, color discrimination in the red (R) region was law at 30 lx, showing significant differences between 30 lx and 500 lx. In the Mongolian group, the discrimination ability in the blue (B) region was significantly lower at 30 lx than at 500 lx. Since color perception differed between the two groups with different iris colors, universal designs giving attention to differences in iris color are necessary.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the relation between the characteristics of emotional contagion and the mirror system activity. Thirty-one university students participated in this experiment. Emotional vocalizations and video of hand reaching and grasping a cup were presented to the participants. Facial electromyography (EMG) as emotional contagion index was recorded while presenting emotional vocalizations. Mu rhythm desynchronization in electroencephalogram (EEG) as mirror system activity index was recorded while presenting the video. The result shows significant correlation between the activity of facial EMG and desynchronization of mu rhythm, suggesting a person who is likely to be affected with emotional vocalizations also shows high mirror activity.

Emerging research field of music and neuroscience has attracted much interest recently on musician's brain and behavior. Nevertheless, motor control mechanisms underlying skilled musical performance are still largely unknown. In this paper, I review recent studies on surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles in the winner of a contest to find the world's fastest drummer (WFD). By showing the wrist muscle activity of the WFD, I explain possible neuromuscular mechanisms underlying the exceptional musical performance.

To evaluate the influence on sleep by mobility and comfort on a mattress, we estimated subjective sleep feelings and measured sleep quality by polysomnography. Ten healthy subjects (4 males, 6 females), aged 62-67, were recorded, sleeping in a laboratory for two nights at a week interval under two crossover designed conditions (EMC: a mattress easy to move and comfortable by first impressions, DMU: a mattress difficult to move and uncomfortable by first impressions). The percentage of wakefulness in the first half of sleep time was significantly increased at DMU. Subjective sleep feelings were better at EMC and subjective evaluations at the time of arising showed EMC was easier to move and more comfortable. These results suggest that mobility and comfort on a mattress is important for better sleep.

Modern humans dispersed into East Asia approximately 40K years ago and genetically adapted to unprecedented environmental conditions. Signatures of local genetic adaptations, which are engraved in our genome, can be detected using population genomics approaches. Human genome variation data have enabled a comprehensive search for genetic variants showing such signatures as well as for those associated with phenotypic variation. Although our knowledge about local genetic adaptations has increased due to recent research efforts, little is known about what selective pressures acted on the selected variants.

Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder, which affects approximately 10% of the general population. Recent advances in functional neuroimaging as well as accumulating data obtained from animal studies have provided important clues to the pathophysiology of migraine. In the past, it was believed that migraine was a vascular disorder, such that migraine aura was induced by vasoconstriction with ensuing abnormal vasodilation responsible for the development of headache. However, it is now clear that brain abnormalities are primarily implicated in migraine pathogenesis. Migraine-associated prodrome is likely to reflect aberrant activity of the hypothalamus and the limbic system, whereas migraine aura is caused by a unique electrical brain phenomenon termed cortical spreading depolarization/depression. Migraine headache is likely to be caused by abnormal activation of the trigeminovascular system; wherein calcitonin gene-related peptide plays a pivotal role. Collectively, migraine symptomatology should be interpreted in relation to underlying biological mechanisms on a phase-to-phase basis.

This paper is an attempt to deal with the origins and formation of the Japanese language, in the light of mostly linguistic aspects of the neighboring languages, such as Old Korean, Old Chinese, Proto-Austronesian, and some archeological aspects. This notion is also based on a linguistic theory that the Japanese is formed through time with language contacts with the neighboring languages mentioned above. This also discusses the particular aspects of language contact of each language and language family in order to suggest that Japanese has been formed by language contacts with those languages.

Twin research has been of fundamental importance to the field of human genetics. There are two phases to twin studies: 1) a biological interest for twins, and 2) usefulness of schemes using twin characteristics. In this review, I outline the two phases of twin studies, related to both genome and epigenome studies, and discuss the potential expansion of twin studies in physiological anthropology in the near future.
