[Na(HO)][FeSe] was synthesized using hydrothermal methods and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetization, and muon spin resonance (μSR) measurements. The cubic crystal structure (space group 23, = 11.785 Å, = 2) contains heterocubane-type clusters with symmetry.

The magnetic structure of LaCrSeO was solved and refined from neutron powder diffraction data. Main building blocks are chains of edge-sharing CrSeO octahedra linked together by two edge-sharing ORECr tetrahedra forming infinite ribbons.

Physical exercise has been previously demonstrated to improve gait, enhance physical fitness, and prevent falls. Nonetheless, the addition of cognitive training components may potentially increase these effects, since cognitive impairment is related to gait irregularities and fall risk.
