Article Synopsis
- This text discusses how recording and modulation of neuronal activity can help in studying brain function in various health conditions and diseases.
- It highlights the use of advanced techniques, like optogenetics and chemical sensing, that enhance our understanding of brain chemistry and signaling in rodent models.
- The study showcases innovative fiber technology that integrates multiple recording methods, which allows researchers to simultaneously monitor and stimulate brain activity while also delivering drugs or genes, particularly in investigating the mesolimbic reward pathway in mice.
Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation has greatly advanced the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and there's interest in finding less invasive alternatives.
- The study focuses on magnetoelectric nanodiscs (MENDs) that can convert magnetic fields into electric signals to modulate neurons remotely, showing effective results even below traditional stimulation thresholds.
- When injected into specific brain regions of mice, MENDs can control behaviors related to reward and movement, paving the way for new applications in neuroscience research and therapy.
Glassy polymers are generally stiff and strong yet have limited extensibility. By swelling with solvent, glassy polymers can become gels that are soft and weak yet have enhanced extensibility. The marked changes in properties arise from the solvent increasing free volume between chains while weakening polymer-polymer interactions.

Even as they provide millions of dollars each year to enable organizing, they have also come under significant criticism for investment approaches that sometimes hinder and even undermine the core goals of organizing itself. This paper focuses on reflections from a funder seeking to support community organizing and the challenges of doing so within the structures of the philanthropic community.
