L-Type Calcium Channel Modulates Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound-Induced Excitation in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons

Regulation of L-type Calcium Channels in Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) Excitation of Cultured Hippocampal Neurons Background In recent years, ultrasound stimulation has been widely used as a non-invasive technique to regulate neuronal activity both in vivo and in vitro. However, the potential mechanism of neural modulation effects induced...

Comparative Molecular Taxonomics of Neurons in the Cingulate Cortex of Rhesus Monkey and Mouse via Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing

Comparative Study of Molecular Taxonomy in Cortical Regions of Primates and Rodents The brain structure is complex, showing high complexity in both molecular and cellular composition. Current research on brain molecular taxonomy is mainly based on rodents. However, although primates and rodents have common ancestors, they diverged through different...

MERTK Reduces Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Permeability Through the RhoA/ROCK1/P-MLC Pathway After Spinal Cord Injury

Study on MERTK Reducing Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Permeability after Spinal Cord Injury via RhoA/ROCK1/p-MLC Pathway Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a central nervous system disease caused by trauma, inflammation, tumors, or other pathological reasons, resulting in sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction in patients, imposing a heavy b...

High Magnesium Promotes the Recovery of Binocular Vision from Amblyopia via TRPM7

Mechanism Study of High Magnesium Promoting Binocular Vision Recovery in Amblyopia Patients: The Role of TRPM7 Abnormal visual experiences during critical periods of brain development can lead to visual function deficits, such as amblyopia. Current research suggests that high magnesium (Mg^2+) supplementation can restore synaptic plasticity in the ...

Compensation or Preservation? Different Roles of Functional Lateralization in Speech Perception of Older Non-Musicians and Musicians

The Impact of Music Training on Language Perception in Older Adults Under Global Aging Challenges Research Background As global population aging accelerates, the decline in language perception ability of older adults in noisy environments has become a notable issue. Older adults, even with normal hearing, often encounter the “cocktail party problem...

Computational Modeling of Prefrontal-Cingulate Coupling: Exploring Its Role in Balancing Emotion and Cognition Academic Background In recent years, emotional processing and cognitive control, which are crucial for maintaining normal social behavior and executive function, have attracted widespread attention. This study explores how the balance betw...

Sex-Dimorphic Kidney-Brain Connectivity Map of Mice

Sexual Dimorphism in the Mouse Kidney-Brain Connectome In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that kidney function is not only influenced by local self-regulation and hormonal systems but is also largely regulated by the nervous system. Although it is known that there are multi-synaptic anatomical connections between central au...

Mapping the Behavioral Signatures of Shank3B Mice in Both Sexes

Behavioral Characterization of Shank3B Mice Across Both Sexes Research Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of complex mental disorders characterized by abnormalities in social interaction and repetitive behaviors. The Shank3B mutant ASD mouse model is widely used in research; however, the behavioral phenotype of this model has not ...
