Electrocatalysis has emerged as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional anthraquinone for preparing hydrogen peroxide (HO) with high energy consumption and pollution because of its simplicity, convenience, and environmental friendliness. However, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) generating HOviathe2e path is acompetitive path for 4eORR to generate HO. Therefore, it is crucial to identify an electrocatalyst with high selectivity and activity of 2eORR.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain for 10 healthy, sedated children were taken during stimulation of real acupoint (Liv3 [Taichong]) and a nearby sham acupoint in a randomized order, employing twisting and nontwisting methods using a blocked paradigm using a 2.0-T scanner.

We use both twisting and nontwisting methods with a blocked paradigm on a 2.
