Utility of teleneuropsychology services among pediatric patients with long COVID.

To determine the clinical utility of teleneuropsychology (teleNP) services in screening for cognitive concerns in a population of children and adolescents presenting with long COVID. This cross-sectional study evaluated 76 pediatric patients (64% female, = 13.48,  = 2.

Monosynaptic ventral tegmental area glutamate projections to the locus coeruleus enhance aversive processing.

Distinct excitatory synaptic inputs to the locus coeruleus (LC) modulate behavioral flexibility. Here we identify a novel monosynaptic glutamatergic input to the LC from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). We show robust VTA axonal projections provide direct glutamatergic transmission to LC.

The use of a benign fast-growing cyanobacterial species to control microcystin synthesis from .

Introduction: (), one of the most prevalent blue-green algae in aquatic environments, produces microcystin by causing harmful algal blooms (HAB). This study investigated the combined effects of nutrients and cyanobacterial subpopulation competition on synthesizing microcystin-LR.

Method: In varied nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, cyanobacterial coculture, and algicidal DCMU presence, the growth was monitored by optical density analysis or microscopic counting, and the microcystin production was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-UV.

Influence of Environmental Conditions on the Escape Rates of Biocontained Genetically Engineered Microbes.

The development of genetically engineered microbes (GEMs) has resulted in an urgent need to control their persistence in the environment. The use of biocontainment such as kill switches is a critical approach to prevent the unintended proliferation of GEMs; however, the effectiveness of kill switches─reported as escape rates, i.e.

Wireless Modular Implantable Neural Device with One-touch Magnetic Assembly for Versatile Neuromodulation.

Multimodal neural interfaces open new opportunities in brain research by enabling more sophisticated and systematic neural circuit dissection. Integrating complementary features across distinct functional domains, these multifunctional neural probes have greatly advanced the interrogation of complex neural circuitry. However, introducing multiple functionalities into a compact form factor for freely behaving animals presents substantial design hurdles that complicate the device or require more than one device.
