Article Synopsis
  • Planar microelectrode arrays (MEAs) struggle with low spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, limiting their effectiveness in understanding neuronal functions.
  • A novel 3D printing method combined with thin film technology creates customizable MEAs that are physically robust and capable of recording neural activity across different applications.
  • These advanced 3D MEAs facilitate research in both normal and pathological conditions, enhancing capabilities for drug screening and neuromodulation studies.

Introduction: More than 17% of German children and adolescents have clinically relevant mental health problems (MHP). Typically, general paediatricians are often the first contact for children with MHP, and referrals to specialised care tend to be the standard approach. A statutory health insurance fund developed a programme for children with MHP (Health Coaching (HC)) aiming to offer targeted but low-threshold services.

Computational reproducibility is a corner stone for sound and credible research. Especially in complex statistical analyses-such as the analysis of longitudinal data-reproducing results is far from simple, especially if no source code is available. In this work we aimed to reproduce analyses of longitudinal data of 11 articles published in PLOS ONE.

Objective: To assess the prospective association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels with frailty status and all-cause mortality in a cohort of community-dwelling participants of the population-based KORA [Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg]-Age Study.

Methods: 727 non-frail participants, aged ≥65years, with 25(OH)D measurement at baseline in 2009, were followed for 2.9±0.

Aim: The aim of the present analysis is to confirm or refute the association of neck pain to migraine or tension-type headache and to assess whether this association is independent of other risk factors for headache.

Methods: Secondary school students were invited to complete a questionnaire on headache and lifestyle factors in a cross-sectional study. Neck pain was assessed via (a) a screening question concerning neck pain and (b) denoting affected areas in schematic drawings of the human body.
