Artificial sensory and motor nervous systems enabled by bioinspired nanowire heterostructure synapse

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A p‐i‐n heterostructured junction synaptic transistor was fabricated, composed of poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) nanowire thin‐film/poly(methyl methacrylate)/ZnO nanowires (PZJ STs), which can emulate biological sensory and motor nervous systems.

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Complement C3 mediates adolescent social isolation‐induced hippocampal synaptic deficits and sex‐specific emotional dysfunction

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Adolescent social isolation disrupts hippocampal function and exacerbates emotional symptoms, with sex‐specific patterns, as shown by human studies. In mice, social isolation decreased hippocampal synaptic density and calcium signaling, upregulated complement proteins, and activated complement‐mediated microglial synaptic phagocytosis.

Cholinergic receptor labelling specific irreversible binding of bromoacetylcholine to cholinergic receptors at neuromuscular junctions

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1974
This study shows that (a) the slopes of dose-response curves of bromoacetylcholine (BrACh) and acetylcoline (ACh) were the same; (b) the dose-response curves of BrACh to contract superfused chick biventer cervicis and frog rectus abdominis muscles were shifted to the right by d-tubocurarine in a parallel fashio; and (c) the responses of BrACh were not ...

Paternal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Clothianidin Alters Sperm MicroRNA Profiles in Mice and Intergenerationally Reduces Locomotor Activity in Male Offspring

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that paternal environmental factors have epigenetic effects on sperm and influence offspring. Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs), which are widely used around the world, are known to affect offspring phenotypes through maternal exposure in mice, but the effect of the paternal exposure remains unknown.

Selectively driving cholinergic fibers optically in the thalamic reticular nucleus promotes sleep

eLife, 2016
Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain and brainstem are thought to play important roles in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and arousal. Using transgenic mice in which channelrhdopsin-2 is selectively expressed in cholinergic neurons, we show ...

The Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion‐Tensor‐Imaging (DTI) and Structural MRI in the Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis: A Review

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting older adults, with approximately 7.2 million cases only in the United States. This number is projected to increase to 13.8 million in the United States by 2060, leading to increased expenditures for healthcare, long‐term care and hospice services. Consequently,

Traditional Chinese Medicine as an Integrative Adjunct in Oncology Perioperative Practice: Analgesia, Immune Modulation, and Translational Challenges

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal analgesic adjuvants and acupuncture‐based interventions, has gained increasing attention as an integrative strategy for perioperative pain management in oncology. Bioactive phytochemicals—such as terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols—exert multimodal pharmacological effects ...

Basal Forebrain Volume and Concurrent Hallucinations and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visual hallucinations (VH) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often co‐occur in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Each symptom in isolation is associated with cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) atrophy. However, it is unclear whether BF integrity relates to one symptom preferentially or to their co‐occurrence, and whether this relationship ...

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
