Emotions and behavior can be affected by social chemosignals from conspecifics. For instance, olfactory signals from stressed individuals induce stress-like physiological and synaptic changes in naïve partners. Direct stress also alters cognition, but the impact of socially transmitted stress on memory processes is currently unknown.

In this work, we address this problem during rodent experiments and develop a motion artifacts correction (MAC) algorithm for single-fiber system (SFS) hemodynamics measurements from the brains of rodents.
Aim: (i) To distinguish the effect of motion artifacts in the SFS signals.
The single-stranded RNA genome of SARS-CoV-2 is highly structured. Numerous helical stem-loop structures interrupted by mismatch motifs are present in the functionally important 5'- and 3'-UTRs. These mismatches modulate local helical geometries and feature unusual arrays of hydrogen bonding donor and acceptor groups.
