Olfactory bulb tracks breathing rhythms and place in freely behaving mice.

Vertebrates sniff to control the odor samples that enter their nose. These samples can not only help identify odorous objects, but also locations and events. However, there is no receptor for place or time.

An Organometallic Erbium Bismuth Cluster Complex Comprising a Bi Zintl Ion.

An organometallic erbium bismuth cluster complex, [K(THF)][Cp*ErBi] (), featuring a heterometallocubane core was isolated. The cube emerges from the rare Bi Zintl ion, bridging two erbium centers for the first time. SQUID magnetometry and calculations uncovered dominant antiferromagnetic coupling enabled through the chair-like hexabismuth anion.

Primary care blood tests show lipid profile changes in pre-symptomatic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Multiple sources of evidence suggest that changes in metabolism may precede the onset of motor symptoms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This study aimed to seek evidence for alterations in the levels of blood indices collected routinely in the primary care setting prior to the onset of motor symptoms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Premorbid data, measured as part of routine health screening, for total cholesterol, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, glycated haemoglobin A1c and creatinine were collected retrospectively from (i) a cohort of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients attending a specialist clinic ( = 143) and (ii) from primary care-linked data within UK Biobank.
