Dysfunction of learning and memory is widely found in many neurological diseases. Understanding how to preserve the normal function of learning and memory will be extremely beneficial for the treatment of these diseases. However, the possible protective effect of minocycline in memory impairment is unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • Etomidate, a common anesthetic, has been linked to cognitive deficits post-surgery, though the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
  • Researchers conducted a study on 30 rats to investigate these cognitive impairments, focusing on spatial memory and neuronal health.
  • Results showed that etomidate-treated rats exhibited significant impairments in spatial learning and memory, without causing neuronal death or oxidative stress, but demonstrated reduced levels of immediate early genes in the hippocampus.

Article Synopsis
  • * Characterization techniques like SEM and AFM revealed that the composite films had porous structures, which improved the sensor's ammonia detection capabilities, especially with 50% Co3O4 loading.
  • * The sensor demonstrated significant performance with a frequency shift of 3500 Hz at 1 ppm ammonia and a 12,500 Hz shift at 20 ppm, indicating that the higher frequency shift was linked to a decrease in the film's conductance upon ammonia exposure.

2D β-Ga2O3 flakes on a continuous 2D graphene film were prepared by a one-step chemical vapor deposition on liquid gallium surface. The composite was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental results indicate that Ga2O3 flakes grew on the surface of graphene film during the cooling process.
