Succinonitrile Electrolyte Additive for Stabilizing Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries.

The utilization of water electrolytes in zinc-ion batteries offers the advantages of enhanced safety, reduced cost, and improved environmental friendliness, rendering them an optimal choice for replacing lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the conventional zinc sulfate electrolyte fails to meet stringent requirements. Therefore, developing electrolytes is crucial for addressing the low cycle life of zinc ions and suppressing the growth of zinc dendrites.

[An Improved Method for Electroencephalographic Detection of Epileptic Discharge].

Objective To investigate the role of OpenBCI module in the electroencephalographic (EEG) detection of epileptic discharge.Methods C57BL/6J mice aged 8-12 weeks were divided into two groups:the sham-operated group and kainic acid-induced epileptic group. Spontaneous seizures were monitored continuously for 3 weeks either by EEG or by OpenBCI.

Comparison of β-Amyloid Plaque Labeling Methods: Antibody Staining, Gallyas Silver Staining, and Thioflavin-S Staining.

Objective To evaluate senile plaque formation and compare the sensitivity of three different β-amyloid (Aβ) labeling methods (antibody staining, Gallyas silver staining, and thioflavin-S staining) to detect Aβ deposition.Methods APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic mice (APP/PS1) of different ages were used to examine spatiotemporal changes in Aβ plaque deposition. Antibody staining, Gallyas silver staining, and thioflavin-S staining were used to detect Aβ plaque deposition in the same brain region of adjacent slices from model mice, and the results were compared.
