Artificial Synaptic Device Based on Self‐Aligned c‐In2O3 TFTs With an Ultrathin MgO Interlayer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A coplanar synaptic thin‐film transistor based on crystalline In2O3 is demonstrated using a PECVD SiO2 gate insulator and an ultrathin MgO interlayer. The MgO interlayer suppresses excessive carrier density and may facilitate proton‐related interfacial polarization, resulting in stable counterclockwise hysteresis and synaptic behavior.

Prediction error dependent changes in brain connectivity during associative learning

open access: yes, 2009
One of the fundaments of associative learning theories is that surprising events drive learning by signalling the need to update one’s beliefs. It has long been suggested that plasticity of connection strengths between neurons underlies the learning ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Preoptic kisspeptin-nNOS-GnRH (KiNG) neuronal network regulates LH rhythmicity through activation-inhibition in mice

open access: yesNature Communications
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are the final target of a complex network regulating reproduction. The balance between excitatory and inhibitory inputs is essential for rhythmic GnRH secretion, including pulses and surges, yet the ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

The Bergen 4-day treatment for social anxiety disorder: a pilot study

open access: yesBMC Psychiatry
Background Few studies have examined the use of concentrated and intensified cognitive behaviour therapy for treating social anxiety disorder (SAD). The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of the Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT) for treating ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
