Article Synopsis
  • Neuronal systems can maintain stable functions even with significant variability in their components, particularly ion channel expression.
  • This study uses conductance-based modeling to investigate how neurons function consistently despite differences in their ion channel makeup.
  • The research identifies two main dimensions of variability in ion channel conductance that correspond to different physiological mechanisms, aiding in the development of models for reliable neuromodulation in varied neuron populations.

QSRR is a valuable technique for the retention time predictions of small molecules. This aims to bridge the gap between molecular structure and chromatographic behavior, offering invaluable insights for analytical chemistry. Given the challenge of simultaneous target prediction with variable experimental conditions and the scarcity of comprehensive data sets for such predictive modelings in chromatography, this study introduces a transfer learning-based multitarget QSRR approach to enhance retention time prediction.

A transmission detection mode was investigated with SERS analyses (SETRS). A comparison between backscattering and transmission detection modes was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of performing SETRS analyses. The impact of various parameters on the SERS signal intensity such as sample volume, lens collection optic, laser beam size and laser power were then examined.

Decision-making is a cognitive process involving working memory, executive function, and attention. However, the connectivity of large-scale brain networks during decision-making is not well understood. This is because gaining access to large-scale brain networks in humans is still a novel process.

A major limitation preventing the use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in routine analyses is the signal variability due to the heterogeneity of metallic nanoparticles used as SERS substrates. This study aimed to robustly optimise a synthesis process of silver nanoparticles to improve the measured SERS signal repeatability and the protocol synthesis repeatability. The process is inspired by a chemical reduction method associated with microwave irradiation to guarantee better controlled and uniform heating.
