A Novel Time-Frequency Parameterization Method for Oscillations in Specific Frequency Bands and Its Application on OPM-MEG.

Time-frequency parameterization for oscillations in specific frequency bands reflects the dynamic changes in the brain. It is related to cognitive behavior and diseases and has received significant attention in neuroscience. However, many studies do not consider the impact of the aperiodic noise and neural activity, including their time-varying fluctuations.

Decoding N400m Evoked Component: A Tutorial on Multivariate Pattern Analysis for OP-MEG Data.

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) has played an extensive role in interpreting brain activity, which has been applied in studies with modalities such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography (EEG). The advent of wearable MEG systems based on optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), i.e.

OPM-MEG Measuring Phase Synchronization on Source Time Series: Application in Rhythmic Median Nerve Stimulation.

The magnetoencephalogram (MEG) based on array optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) has the potential of replacing conventional cryogenic superconducting quantum interference device. Phase synchronization is a common method for measuring brain oscillations and functional connectivity. Verifying the feasibility and fidelity of OPM-MEG in measuring phase synchronization will help its widespread application in the study of aforementioned neural mechanisms.

MicroRNA-1202 plays a vital role in osteoarthritis via KCNQ1OT1 has-miR-1202-ETS1 regulatory pathway.

Background: This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of osteoarthritis (OA) and provide information about new genes as potential targets for OA treatment.

Methods: Gene expression profile of GSE105027, including 12 OA serum samples (OA group) and 12 healthy serum samples (ctrl group), was downloaded. The differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) as well as miRNA-mRNAs interactions were investigated, followed by function and pathway investigation.

[Determination of trace nitrite by KBrO3-NO2(-)-zincon catalytic system].

A new catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace nitrite based on the oxidation reaction between KBrO3 and Zincon in H3PO4 medium has been developed. The optimum conditions for the rate of the reaction were studied, and the rate equation of the reaction was found to be -dcZincon/dt = k'cZincon.cBrO3-.
