Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
functional neural connectivity
MRI scans will be interpreted by fMRI expert and then compared between heat tolerant and intolerant subjects.
one day
Study Arms (1)
experimental protocol
Functional neural connectivity at rest of 3 groups (heat tolerant, heat intolerant and healthy subjects) will be assessed using the anatomical and functional MRI scans and compared.
Interventions
20 subject (10 tolerant and 10 intolerant to heat) will undergo MRI scans (GE healthcare manufacturer) as follows: 1. anatomical scan according to standard protocol 2. functional scan according to the standard protocol of rest-state fMRI. scans of 10 healthy subjects will be taken from existing scans at the imaging department.
Eligibility Criteria
population of soldiers from the israeli defence forces (IDF), healthy in general, who had gone through heat injury (heat fatigue or hyperthermia) in the two month prior to their recruitment.
You may qualify if:
- generally healthy subjects
- underwent heat injury in the past two months
- underwent Heat Tolerance Test at the Heller Institute of Medical research
You may not qualify if:
- drug or alcohol use
- history of neurological disorders, mental retardation or head injury
- history or diagnosis of psychiatric disorders
- claustrophobia
