[Governor vessel moxibustion combined with warming acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis with deficiency and cold congelation based on the supporting- theory].

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy between governor vessel moxibustion combined with warming acupuncture based on the supporting- theory and simple warming acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) with deficiency and cold congelation.

Methods: A total of 64 patients with KOA of deficiency and cold congelation were randomized into a combination group (32 cases, 2 cases dropped off) and a warming acupuncture group (32 cases, 1 case dropped off). In the warming acupuncture group, warming acupuncture was applied at Zusanli (ST 36), Guanyuan (CV 4) and Dubi (ST 35), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), etc.

Interhemispheric alpha-band hypoconnectivity in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Diverse genetic and environmental etiologies converge onto circuit level brain dysfunction in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), manifesting at a macroscopic level as aberrant neural connectivity. Previous studies have described atypical patterns of decreased short range and increased long range connectivity in ASD [1]. However, it remains unclear whether group level features of circuit dysfunction are consistently present across the range of cognitive function seen in the autism spectrum.

CerebraLux: a low-cost, open-source, wireless probe for optogenetic stimulation.

The use of optogenetics to activate or inhibit neurons is an important toolbox for neuroscientists. Several optogenetic devices are in use. These range from wired systems where the optoprobe is physically connected to the light source by a tether, to wireless systems that are remotely controlled.
