Background: This experimental study was designed to compare different in vitro methods of measuring the cortical temperature when reaming the medullary cavity. This was done to validate an approved mathematical model which can be used to determine the temperature gradient in cortical bone in the presence or absence of sensors.
Methods: Artificial bone was used with an intramedullary heat source instead of a reamer. Temperatures were measured with thermocouples placed radially and axially in the cortical wall. This method with these two measurement positions were compared and used to validate an approved mathematical model. This model was used to determine the temperature gradient in cortical bone in the absence of sensors.
Results: The measurement of the cortical temperature with the thermocouples in a radial position only reflects maximally 14% of the temperature of the reamer (calculated 55%). The measurement with the thermocouples in axial position reflects maximally 65% (calculated 70%) of the reamer temperature, which is similar to undisturbed bone.
Conclusion: The measuring method with the thermocouples in a radial position cannot be recommended. It is likely that a much higher temperature is generated and conducted through reaming than has been assumed until now.

Eating behaviours are influenced by the integration of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory signals, which all contribute to the perception of flavour. Although extensive research has explored the neural correlates of taste in the gustatory cortex (GC), less is known about its role in encoding thermal information. This study investigates the encoding of oral thermal and chemosensory signals by GC neurons compared to the oral somatosensory cortex.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are widely used to study synaptic plasticity. However, whether proteins regulating LTP and LTD are altered in cognitive disorders and contribute to disease onset remains to be determined. Herein, we induced LTP and LTD in the hippocampal CA3-CA1 Schaffer collateral pathway, respectively, and then performed proteomic analysis of the CA1 region.

We have previously shown in small studies that full brain Transcranial Radiofrequency Wave Treatment (TRFT) to subjects with Alzheimer's Disease could stop and reverse their cognitive decline. An 8-emitter head device, the "MemorEM", was used in these studies to provide TRFT at 915 MHz frequency and power level of 1.6 W/kg Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) during daily 1-hour treatments.

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
Methods: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method.

Infrared neural stimulation has consistently shown that temperature is a critical neuronal state variable. However, a comprehensive understanding of the biophysical background is essential. In this study, using high-density laminar electrode recordings, we investigated the impact of pulsed and continuous-wave infrared illumination on cortical neurons in anesthetized rats ([Formula: see text]).
