Intermediate filaments link glutamate–aspartate transporter deficiency to cochlear synaptopathy
In a healthy ear, GLAST transporters in supporting cells clear excess glutamate to protect auditory connections. When GLAST is missing, glutamate accumulates and leads to the destruction of structural scaffolding within the postsynaptic nerve endings. This internal collapse causes a loss of synapses that are essential for hearing, ultimately resulting ...

Eating Experiences of Patients With Cancer in the Hospital – A Qualitative Study
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Enjoying food is related to the taste, smell and texture of food, ambience during meals, presentation of the meals, and freedom to choose meals. A decrease in food enjoyment can lead to decreased food intake, undesired weight loss, and reduced quality of life. Cancer and cancer treatment can induce symptoms that affect food

‘Unbecoming’ a Professional: The Role of Memory during Field Transitions in Japan and the USA
Abstract Existing scholarship documents how, in becoming a professional, such as a partner in a professional services firm (PSF), one's habitus comes into alignment with field expectations. Less understood, however, is what happens to habitus and, relatedly, to professionals' accumulated cultural, social, and economic capitals, as individuals ‘unbecome’

ABSTRACT Slow wave sleep plays a crucial role in overnight memory consolidation, with slow oscillations serving as a critical mechanism. Recent studies have identified closed‐loop auditory stimulation as an effective method to enhance slow oscillatory activity during slow wave sleep, thereby facilitating memory consolidation.
