For your eyes too: a new set of images of biological materials from the scientific commissioning of the MOGNO beamline at Sirius. [PDF]

J Synchrotron Radiat
From whole specimens to histological level reconstructions, images derived from 3D synchrotron‐based microtomography (SR‐microCT) have emerged as a tool that is revolutionizing a wide range of biological research. This paper presents the first commissioning results from experiments to image the anatomy of small animals and specimens from zooarchaeology

The neurobiology of altered states of consciousness induced by drumming and other rhythmic sound patterns. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
Rhythmic auditory stimulation has been used across cultures to alter consciousness, yet its neural basis remains unclear. Our review suggests that rhythmic sounds induce absorption and relaxation. We propose that thalamo‐cortical entrainment to low‐frequency rhythms underlie these effects, paralleling mechanisms in psychedelic and psychotic states.

Testing the reliability of CT scan‐based dental wear magnitude scoring

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 176, Issue 3, Page 521-527, November 2021., 2021
Dental wear magnitude assessment based on direct observation and CT scans is comparable (despite some limited differences). Abstract Objectives Digital models are now frequently used in biological anthropology (bioanthropology) research. Despite several studies validating this type of research, none has examined if the assessment of dental wear ...
