Article Synopsis
  • EEG is a noninvasive technique used in neuroscience that measures brain activity, providing insights into various functions like sensory processing, sleep, and memory formation.
  • Most undergraduates don’t have hands-on access to EEG equipment or the necessary skills to conduct experiments, so simplified lab exercises are introduced using affordable tools like Backyard Brains and software like SpikeRecorder.
  • Two lab exercises were tested: one demonstrated a significant increase in alpha wave activity when participants switched between eyes open and closed settings, while the second measured the P300 ERP during an auditory oddball task, achieving positive results in a classroom setting.

Tumor resistance remains an obstacle to successfully treating oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Cisplatin is widely used as a cytotoxic drug to treat solid tumors, including advanced OSCC, but with low efficacy due to chemoresistance. Therefore, identifying the pathways that contribute to chemoresistance may show new possibilities for improving the treatment.
