ADVANCED OPTICAL TECHNIQUES TO EXPLORE BRAIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2013 Understanding brain structure and function, and the complex relationships between them, is one of the grand challenges of contemporary sciences. Thanks to their flexibility, optical techniques could be the key to explore this complex network.

Nature Communications, 2022 By using laser tweezers, the authors show that a single α-catenin molecule does not resist force on F-actin. However, clustering of multiple molecules and force applied toward F-actin pointed end engage a molecular switch in α-catenin, which unfolds and ...

Assessing brain state and anesthesia level with two-photon calcium signals
Scientific Reports, 2023 Brain states, such as wake, sleep, or different depths of anesthesia are usually assessed using electrophysiological techniques, such as the local field potential (LFP) or the electroencephalogram (EEG), which are ideal signals for detecting activity ...

Some counterexamples for (strong) persistence property and (nearly) normally torsion-freeness
Examples and Counterexamples, 2023 In this article, we present some rare counterexamples, which are related to (strong) persistence property and (nearly) normally torsion-freeness of monomial ideals.

Cells, 2023 Within the neurovascular unit, brain pericytes (BPs) are of major importance for the induction and maintenance of the properties of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) carried by the brain microvessel endothelial cells (ECs).

Cells, 2021 The construction of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which is a natural barrier for maintaining brain homeostasis, is the result of a meticulous organisation in space and time of cell–cell communication processes between the endothelial cells that carry ...
