Entering the third year of the COVID-19 era, the United States faces myriad problems with hate speech, misinformation, racial and politically based violence, and deep-rooted institutional abuses.Oppression of minorities making up the majority of the population contributes to mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.The proble
Spike-threshold adaptation predicted by membrane potential dynamics in vivo.
Neurons encode information in sequences of spikes, which are triggered when their membrane potential crosses a threshold.In vivo, the spiking threshold displays large variability suggesting that threshold dynamics have a profound influence on how the combined input of a neuron is encoded in the spiking.Threshold variability could be explained by ad
Cognitive control in auditory working memory is enhanced in musicians.
Musical competence may confer cognitive advantages that extend beyond processing of familiar musical sounds.Behavioural evidence indicates a general enhancement of both working memory and attention in musicians.It is possible that musicians, due to their training, are better able to maintain focus on task-relevant stimuli, a skill which equi-jec 6
Cecr2 mutant mice as a model for human cat eye syndrome
Abstract Cat eye syndrome (CES), a human genetic disorder caused by the inverted duplication of a region on chromosome 22, has been known since the late 1890s.Despite the significant impact this disorder has on affected individuals, models for CES have not been produced due to the difficulty of effectively duplicating the corresponding chromosome r
A general strategy to achieve see-through devices through the micro-structuring of colored functional materials
Abstract Irrespective of the specific see-through device, obtaining optimal transparency remains the primary goal.In this work, we introduce a general strategy to enhance the transparency of various see-through devices.We achieve this by structuring the colored functional materials into imperceptible three-dimensional mesh lines, addressing a commo
