Insights Into Brain Networks Driving Optimal Flow and the Role of Mindfulness in Flow
Rathi Priya Bollu Yashwant, Eng Hwa Wong
Psychology of Optimal States, 2025
Flow is a mental state of complete absorption into the present task with a strong drive and diminished sense of self and time. Optimal flow is a state of peak performance where individuals engage in any highly-skilled activity task with complete focus, efficiency, and immersion. However, the neural dynamics and systems involved in the flow and optimal flow states are complex and require significant scientific interdisciplinary scrutiny. Mindfulness is a mental state of being fully present and engaged in the current moment, without judgment. Mindfulness and flow share commonalities, as both involve deep focus and immersion in the present moment. Long-term mindfulness practices may enhance one's ability to be in flow state for longer durations, mainly by altering the neuroplasticity in the brain areas associated with emotional and cognitive health. Henceforth, in this chapter, the Authors have outlined the main neural correlates of the flow and optimal flow states as well as the impact of mindfulness in achieving these states.
The Impact of Neuroplasticity on Skill Acquisition and Cognitive Growth
Rathi Priya Bollu Yashwant, Eng Hwa Wong
Impact of Neuroplasticity on Organizational Effectiveness and Labor Productivity, 2025
This chapter explores the foundational role of neuroplasticity in skill acquisition and cognitive growth across the human lifespan. Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize its structure and function in response to internal and external stimuli—underpins the development of new skills, adaptation to environmental demands, and recovery from injury. Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience, the chapter examines key mechanisms of plasticity, including synaptic strengthening, dendritic remodeling, and network-level reorganization, and links these to practical outcomes in education, professional development, and rehabilitation.The chapter also addresses neuroplasticity in neurodiverse populations and clinical conditions, highlighting both the potential and limitations of plastic change. By integrating empirical findings with applied frameworks, this work provides a multidimensional understanding of how neuroplasticity can be harnessed to foster learning, improve cognitive performance, and promote lifelong adaptability.

1H NMR metabolomics insights into comparative diabesity in male and female zebrafish and the antidiabetic activity of DL-limonene
Khaled Benchoula, Christopher J. Serpell, Ahmed Mediani, Abdulaziz Albogami, Norazlan Mohmad Misnan, et al.
Scientific Reports, 2024
Zebrafish have been utilized for many years as a model animal for pharmacological studies on diabetes and obesity. High-fat diet (HFD), streptozotocin and alloxan injection, and glucose immersion have all been used to induce diabetes and obesity in zebrafish. Currently, studies commonly used both male and female zebrafish, which may influence the outcomes since male and female zebrafish are biologically different. This study was designed to investigate the difference between the metabolites of male and female diabetic zebrafish, using limonene – a natural product which has shown several promising results in vitro and in vivo in treating diabetes and obesity—and provide new insights into how endogenous metabolites change following limonene treatment. Using HFD-fed male and female zebrafish, we were able to develop an animal model of T2D and identify several endogenous metabolites that might be used as diagnostic biomarkers for diabetes. The endogenous metabolites in males and females were different, even though both genders had high blood glucose levels and a high BMI. Treatment with limonene prevented high blood glucose levels and improved in diabesity zebrafish by limonene, through reversal of the metabolic changes caused by HFD in both genders. In addition, limonene was able to reverse the elevated expression of AKT during HFD.
The effects of school-based hygiene intervention programme: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Plos One, 2024
Children are susceptible to infections due to frequent participation in school group activities and their often-suboptimal hygiene practices. Frequent infections in children affect school attendance, academic performances, and general health. The effectiveness of school-based hygiene-related intervention programmes need to be informed by updated high-quality synthesised evidence. In this systematic review, we searched PubMed and Cochrane CENTRAL for randomised and non-randomised interventional studies that evaluated school-based hygiene-related interventions. We assessed risk-of-bias (Cochrane risk-of-bias 2 tool), performed random-effect meta-analysis (RevMan 5.4) and rated certainty-of-evidence (GRADE). Thirty-nine trials (41 reports), published from 2011 to 2024 from 22 countries were included. Twenty-three studies contributed data for meta-analysis. All school-based interventions were compared with standard curriculum and demonstrated very low to low certainty-of-evidence due to study methodological limitations and imprecision. Hand-body hygiene interventions may improve knowledge, attitudes and practices (SMD 2.30, 95%CI 1.17 to 3.44, 6 studies, 7301 participants), increase handwashing practices (RR 1.75, 95%CI 1.41 to 2.17, 5 studies, 5479 participants), and reduce infection-related absenteeism (RR 0.74, 95%CI 0.66 to 0.83, 5 studies, 1017852 observations). Genital hygiene interventions may improve attitude (SMD 6.53, 95%CI 2.40 to 10.66, 2 studies, 2644 participants) and practices (RR 2.44, 95%CI 1.28 to 4.68, 1 study, 1201 participants). However, intervention effects on oral hygiene appeared mixed, with worsening of the oral hygiene score (SMD 3.12, 95%CI 1.87 to 4.37, 2 studies, 652 participants) but improved dental hygiene (SMD -0.33, 95%CI -0.53 to -0.13, 3 studies, 4824 participants) and dental caries scores (SMD -0.34, 95%CI -0.52 to -0.16, 4 studies, 2352 participants). Limited evidence suggests that interventions targeting hand-body and genital hygiene practices may improve knowledge, practices, and infection-related absenteeism. However, the effects on oral hygiene intervention appeared mixed. Future research should strengthen randomisation and intervention documentation, and evaluate hygiene-related behaviour, academic performances and health outcomes.
Role of cell surface proteins and toll-like receptors in the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Nurul Fathiyah Zaipul Anuar, M. M. Mohd Desa, Jamal Hussaini, E. H. Wong, V. Mariappan, et al.
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2024
Objective(s): Pneumococcal cell wall (PCW) is an inflammatory component in Streptococcus pneumoniae. The cell surface proteins and the toll-like receptors (TLR) signaling response were investigated in the human lung epithelial (A549) cells inoculated with PCW of different serotypes. Materials and Methods: The presence of genes encoding these proteins was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The structure of the cell walls was analyzed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The A549 cell line was challenged with PCW extracts of different serotypes. RNA from the infected host cells was extracted and tested against a total of 84 genes associated with TLR signaling pathways (TLR 1-6 and 10) using RT2 Profiler PCR Array. Results: Cell surface proteins; ply, lytA, nanA, nanB, and cbpD genes were present in all serotypes. The distribution and structure of surface protein genes suggest behavioral changes in the molecules, contributing to the resilience of the strains to antibiotic treatment. Conclusion: TLR2 showed the highest expression, while serotypes 1, 3, and 5 induced higher TNFα and IL-1α, suggesting to be more immunogenic than the other strains tested
The Association between Uric Acid Level and Ischemic Stroke
Yang Xu, Eng Hwa Wong, Bin Nordin Rusli, Kareem Meera Mohaideen Abdul, Samraj Prakash Earnest Benjamin, et al.
Obm Neurobiology, 2024
Stroke is the second and third leading cause of death and disability, respectively, all over the world. It seriously affects patients' lives and brings huge burdens to their families. Ischemic stroke accounts for most of the stroke cases. In the absence of any effective treatment, prevention measures through controlling the risk factors for ischemic stroke become crucial. While uric acid has been reported as an essential risk factor for ischemic stroke, researchers hold inconsistent views regarding the specific association between uric acid and ischemic stroke. By summarizing the association between uric acid levels and ischemic stroke, this article can guide researchers to quickly and comprehensively understand the relationship between uric acid and ischemic stroke and develop further studies for its exploration.
