Polydatin ameliorates ovalbumin‐induced asthma in a rat model through NCOA4‐mediated ferroautophagy and ferroptosis pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this research, a rat model of asthma was created using OVA, and polydatin served as an intervention. By inhibiting ferroautophagy mediated by NCOA4 and averting ferroptosis, polydatin has been demonstrated to reduce asthma. This work presents new ideas for investigating the mechanism of polydatin's ability to alleviate asthma, in addition to ...

Brain mapping: Faradization of the mind [PDF]

Current Biology, 1998
Electromagnetic induction of focal currents in the brain - 'transcranial magnetic stimulation' - can be used to study cortical development and plasticity, as well as the organization of sensory and cognitive functions. It may also prove to be useful tool in the treatment of depression.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Subcortical electrophysiological activity is detectable with high-density EEG source imaging

Nature Communications, 2019
Electroencephalography (EEG) allows the measurement of electrical signals associated with brain activity, but it is unclear if EEG can accurately measure subcortical activity.

Mapping epileptic activity: sources or networks for the clinicians?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2014
Epileptic seizures of focal origin are classically considered to arise from a focal epileptogenic zone and then spread to other brain regions. This is a key concept for semiological electro-clinical correlations, localisation of relevant structural ...

Plasticity of auditory maps in the brain

Trends in Neurosciences, 1991
The central auditory pathway contains maps of sound frequency that reflect the functional organization of the cochlea, as well as topographic representations of other stimulus features, such as sound location, that are synthesized within the brain. Both types of map undergo changes during development and are shaped by experience.

Riemannian tangent space mapping and elastic net regularization for cost-effective EEG markers of brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease

, 2017
The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in routine clinical practice is most commonly based on subjective clinical interpretations. Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) measures have been shown to reflect neurodegenerative processes in AD and ...

High-density diffuse optical tomography for imaging human brain function [PDF]

, 2019
This review describes the unique opportunities and challenges for noninvasive optical mapping of human brain function. Diffuse optical methods offer safe, portable, and radiation free alternatives to traditional technologies like positron emission ...

Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Modulation of habenular and nucleus accumbens functional connectivity by ketamine in major depression

Brain and Behavior
Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with dysfunctional reward processing, which involves functional circuitry of the habenula (Hb) and nucleus accumbens (NAc).
