New Insights into Gravity Flow Dynamics During Submarine Canyon Flushing Events Academic Background Submarine canyons are critical conduits connecting land and the deep ocean, and their formation and evolution have long been a focus of marine geological research. However, due to the destructive and infrequent nature of submarine canyon flushing eve...
First Dating of an Early Chibanian (Middle Pleistocene) Glacial Overdeepening in the Alpine Foreland Using the 4He/U-Th Method Academic Background Glacial overdeepenings are deep valleys formed by glacial erosion, typically filled with glacial sediments. These sediments record the history of glacial activity and are crucial for understanding the ex...
Study on the Link Between Crustal “Bobbing” and Lithospheric Foundering in the Central Andean Plateau Academic Background The Andean Plateau is one of the most active orogenic belts on Earth, and its formation and evolution have long been a focus of geologists. Lithospheric foundering is an important mechanism for crustal deformation, basin subside...
Sex Differences in Olfactory Behavior and Neurophysiology in Long Evans Rats Academic Background Olfaction plays a crucial role in the survival and reproduction of many species. Studies have shown that females exhibit greater sensitivity in certain olfactory behaviors compared to males. For example, human females outperform males in olfactory thres...
Computational Modeling Study on the Construction of Receptive Fields in Midget Ganglion Cells of Primate Retina Academic Background The midget pathway in the primate retina is the foundation for high spatial resolution and color perception in the visual system. A key feature of this pathway is the center-surround organization of the receptive field...
Correlated Variability in the Brain Leads to Highly Suboptimal Sensory Coding Academic Background The brain perceives the world through the activity of neural populations, but it remains unclear whether the computational goal of sensory coding is to support the discrimination of sensory stimuli or to generate an internal model of the sensory world....
Effects of Local Vibration on Sensorimotor Cortical Activity Background Introduction Local Vibration (LV) is a technique that applies high-frequency (≥100 Hz) and low-amplitude ( mm) vibrations to muscles or tendons. Studies have shown that LV can promote brain plasticity through repeated activation of Ia afferents, but the specific mechanisms rema...
Insulin Activates Hepatic-Related Neurons in the Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus via mTOR Signaling Academic Background Glucose homeostasis is a critical physiological process for sustaining life, with the liver playing a central role in this regulation. The liver maintains blood glucose levels by modulating glycogen production and gluc...
The Impact of Retinal Acceleration Error on Catch-Up Saccades Research Background When humans track moving objects, they primarily rely on two types of eye movements: smooth pursuit and saccades. Smooth pursuit depends on visual motion signals, but when tracking errors accumulate, the brain initiates catch-up saccades to realign the gaze with the t...
The Impairment of Deviance Detection in the Auditory Cortex by DOI Academic Background Psychedelics are a class of psychoactive substances that can significantly alter perception, cognition, and mood. In recent years, psychedelics have shown potential applications in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. How...
