Photonic platforms are promising for implementing neuromorphic hardware due to their high processing speed, low power consumption, and ability to perform parallel processing. A ubiquitous device in integrated photonics, which has been extensively employed for the realization of optical neuromorphic hardware, is the microresonator. The ability of CMOS-compatible silicon microring resonators to store energy enhances the nonlinear interaction between light and matter, enabling energy efficient nonlinearity, fading memory and the generation of spikes via self-pulsing.

The Smartphone Addiction Inventory - Short Form (SPAI-SF) is shorter version (10 items) of the original version of SPAI (26 items). In this study, we aimed to: (i) adapt and test the internal structure of the SPAI-SF, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA), and network analysis; (ii) analyze the internal consistency, temporal stability, criterion, predictive and construct validities of the SPAI-SF. A total of 392 adolescents (M = 12.

Obesity is one of the leading health concerns in the United States. Studies from human and rodent models suggest that inherent differences in the function of brain motivation centers, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), contribute to overeating and thus obesity. For example, there are basal enhancements in the excitability of NAc GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSN) and reductions in basal expression of AMPA-type glutamate receptors in obesity-prone vs obesity-resistant rats.
