Electronic devices cover a large subset of daily life gadgets which use power to run, hence increasing the load of the energy needs and indirectly impacting greenhouse gas emissions. Smart electrochromic windows provide a solution to this through remarkable energy saving by adjusting optical behavior depending on the environmental conditions. Since the electrochromic windows also need power to run, a self-powered electrochromic panel will be a better solution.

Bipolar disorder often begins in adolescence or early adulthood, characterized by recurrent manic episodes that can lead to neurodegenerative brain changes and functional decline. While several oral second-generation antipsychotics are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for mania, adherence to maintenance treatment is frequently poor due to factors such as anosognosia, cognitive dysfunction, impulsivity, side effects aversion, and substance use.

Article Synopsis
  • * Brexanolone and zuranolone are particularly effective for postpartum depression, providing rapid symptom relief through their action on the GABA system, as shown in clinical trials.
  • * Beyond mood disorders, ganaxalone shows promise for managing epilepsy by controlling seizures via GABAergic activity, and neurosteroids may offer neuroprotection in Alzheimer's models, suggesting their potential to mitigate excitotoxicity and slow neurodegeneration.
