Neural Response Reliability as a Marker of the Transition of Neural Codes along Auditory Pathways
Decoding sound from neural activity in mice reveals a striking shift in how the brain encodes sound: from precise but redundant timing codes in early auditory areas to efficient, synergistic rate‐based codes in the cortex. This transformation highlights a robust neural strategy for turning complex acoustic input into coherent perception across the ...

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

Stabilized Ion Selectivity Corrects Activation Drift in Kalium Channelrhodopsins
As newly emerged optogenetic tools, potassium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) can drift from inhibition to activation during illumination as K⁺ selectivity declines. It is shown that both the absolute K⁺/Na⁺ permeability ratio and its stability over time govern this drift, identify KCR1‐C29D as a reliably inhibitory variant, and outline design principles for ...

A Dopamine-Acetylcholine Cascade: Simulating Learned and Lesion-Induced Behavior of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]
The "teaching signal" that modulates reinforcement learning at cortico-striatal synapses may be a sequence composed of an adaptively scaled DA burst, a brief ACh burst, and a scaled ACh pause.

Herein, guanidinium‐modified calix[5]arene (GC5AY) is developed featuring small size, positive charge, and desirable amphiphilicity, that can efficiently traverse the nasal mucosal barrier for brain drug delivery. Additionally, possessing inherent therapeutic functions, GC5AY can thus serve as a single‐molecule pleuripotent scaffold for multi‐target ...

This study identifies a smoking‐induced mechanism in LSCC whereby nicotine activates the CHRNA5–JAK2/STAT3 axis to drive STC2 transcription. STC2 upregulates TGFBI, which interacts with endothelial ITGA5 to regulate vascular permeability and promote metastasis.

New approaches to treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with Colla corii asini
Colla corii asini improves chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment through anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immune‐modulatory, and lung‐nourishing effects, addressing current therapeutic challenges via multitarget mechanisms. Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability ...

Physical stimulation strategies have emerged as a therapeutic avenue for the regeneration of spiral ganglion neurons. This review explores diverse physical stimulation modalities—including topographical modulation, electrical stimulation, and photostimulation—each operating through distinct mechanisms to regulate SGN biological behavior. By elucidating
