Processing of fearful faces exhibits characteristics of subcortical functions.

A subcortical pathway is thought to have evolved to facilitate fear information transmission, but direct evidence for its existence in humans is lacking. In recent years, rapid, preattentive, and preconscious fear processing has been demonstrated, providing indirect support for the existence of the subcortical pathway by challenging the necessity of canonical cortical pathways in fear processing. However, direct support also requires evidence for the involvement of subcortical regions in fear processing.

Facile Synthesis of Na-Doped MnO Nanosheets on Carbon Nanotube Fibers for Ultrahigh-Energy-Density All-Solid-State Wearable Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Flexible fiber-shaped supercapacitors hold promising potential in the area of portable and wearable electronics. Unfortunately, their general application is hindered by the restricted energy densities due to low operating voltage and small specific surface area. Herein, an all-solid-state fiber-shaped asymmetric supercapacitor (FASC) possessing ultrahigh energy density is reported, in which the positive electrode was designed as Na-doped MnO nanosheets on carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) and the negative electrode as MoS nanosheet-coated CNTFs.
