Performance‐Recoverable Closed‐Loop Neuroprosthetic System

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐healing and stretchable bilayer (SSB) electrode with spontaneous performance recovery consists of a nanomembrane (closely packed aligned Pt‐coated Ag nanowires embedded in the self‐healing polymer) and a nanocomposite (Pt‐coated Ag flakes in the self‐healing polymer).

Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.

Sites of Action of CS-722, a Newly Synthesized Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxant

Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1993
Sites of the muscle relaxant action of CS-722 were investigated in rats. Doses injected intra-4th ventricularly (i.c.v.) or intrathecally (i.t.) were determined according to measurements of CS-722 concentration in the brain stem and the spinal cord after systemic administration. When administered i.c.v. (50 and 100 micrograms) or i.t.

Effects of centrally acting muscle relaxants on the anemic decerebrate rigidity in rats.

Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics, 1978
Effects of centrally acting muscle relaxants on the tonic and phasic tension of the forelimbs were studied in the rigid rats. Anemic decerebrate rigidity of rats was obtained by ligation of both basilar and common carotid arteries. Tension recorded from forelimbs was employed as measures of the intensity of the rigidity.
