Combined Positive and Negative Feedback Allows Modulation of Neuronal Oscillation Frequency during Sensory Processing

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: A key step in sensory information processing involves modulation and integration of neuronal oscillations in disparate frequency bands, a poorly understood process.

Sound asleep: processing and retention of slow oscillation phase-targeted stimuli. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The sleeping brain retains some residual information processing capacity. Although direct evidence is scarce, a substantial literature suggests the phase of slow oscillations during deep sleep to be an important determinant for stimulus processing. Here,

Distinct Microstructural Characteristic Lengths Defining Notch Fatigue Crack Initiation and Propagation, and Defect Tolerance in Advanced Steels

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of modes of microcrack nucleation, growth and temporary arrestment at different boundaries, with the criteria for crack propagation in three scenarios: (1) large notch, (2) defect/small sharp notch, and (3) long crack. This work revisits and integrates results on the fatigue behavior of advanced bainitic steels (in particular ...

Transcranial electrical currents to probe EEG brain rhythms and memory consolidation during sleep in humans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Previously the application of a weak electric anodal current oscillating with a frequency of the sleep slow oscillation (∼0.75 Hz) during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NonREM) sleep boosted endogenous slow oscillation activity and enhanced sleep ...

Uniform Amorphization of Crystalline Silicon Surfaces Enabled by Deep Ultraviolet Femtosecond Laser Pulses

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Deep‐UV (258 nm) femtosecond pulses enable uniform amorphous silicon writing on Si(100)/(111) with a six‐fold larger fluence amorphization window than NIR methods. Optimized fluence and overlap yield 20–45 nm uniform and continuous amorphous layers. Microscopy shows sharp interfaces, and real‐time reflectivity reveals nanosecond melt–resolidification ...

Hippocampal synchrony dynamically gates cortical connectivity across brain states

open access: yesScientific Reports
Memory consolidation is thought to rely on hippocampo-cortical dialogue orchestrated by three cardinal sleep oscillations: cortical slow oscillations, thalamic spindles, and hippocampal sharp-wave ripples.

Reproducing Infra-Slow Oscillations with Dopaminergic Modulation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
In the human brain, billions of neurons construct a neural network via synaptic connections. Neuronal excitation and inhibition are transmitted to other neurons through synapses via neurotransmitters. Dopamine is one of these neurotransmitters that plays

Multilevel synchronization of human β-cells networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Network Physiology, 2023
β-cells within the endocrine pancreas are fundamental for glucose, lipid and protein homeostasis. Gap junctions between cells constitute the primary coupling mechanism through which cells synchronize their electrical and metabolic activities.

Slow oscillations during sleep coordinate interregional communication in cortical networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Large-amplitude sleep slow oscillations group faster neuronal oscillations and are of functional relevance for memory performance. However, relatively little is known about the impact of slow oscillations on functionally coupled networks.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...
