Spontaneous electrical activity of the cerebral nervous system of Scorpion is characterized by potentials of 30 muV, and of average frequency varying between 200 et 400 impulses/min. This activity is enhanced by acetylcholine, and inhibited by adrenaline, nor-adrenaline, and serotonine, from a pharmacological study, it is assumed that spontaneous electrical activity of cerebral nervous system is due to cholinergic neurons, and antagonized by a serotoninergic system.

Renewable electricity-driven electrochemical reduction of CO2 offers a promising route for production of high-value ethanol. However, the current state of this technology is hindered by low selectivity and productivity, primarily due to limited understanding of the atomic-level active sites involved in ethanol formation. Herein, we identify that the interfacial oxygen vacancy-neighboring Cu (Ov-Cu) pair sites are the active sites for CO2 electroreduction to ethanol.

Background: Speech variations appear at early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are potential early indicators. However, the commonly used neuropsychological assessment scales as screening tools for cognitive impairments have limitations due to possible subjective bias of the assessors and the lack of sensitivity in voice detection. We propose a solution based on machine learning for multi-dimensional feature extraction and data fusion of spontaneous speech signals.

Chirality, a basic property of symmetry breaking, is crucial for fields such as biology and physics. Recent advances in the study of chiral systems have stimulated interest in the discovery of symmetry-breaking states that enable exotic phenomena such as spontaneous gyrotropic order and superconductivity. Here we examine the interaction between light chirality and electron spins in indium selenide and study the effect of magnetic field on emerging tunnelling photocurrents at the Van Hove singularity.

Due to high binding energy and extremely short diffusion distance of Frenkel excitons in common organic semiconductors at early stage, mechanism of interface charge transfer-mediated free carrier generation has dominated the development of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). However, considering the advancements in materials and device performance, it is necessary to reexamine the photoelectric conversion in current-stage efficient OSCs. Here, we propose that the conjugated materials with specific three-dimensional donor-acceptor conjugated packing potentially exhibit distinctive charge photogeneration mechanism, which spontaneously split Wannier-Mott excitons to free carriers in pure phases.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating complication of epilepsy with possible sex-specific risk factors, although the exact relationship between sex and SUDEP remains unclear. To investigate this, we studied Kcna1 knockout (Kcna1) mice, which lack voltage-gated Kv1.1 channel subunits and are widely used as a SUDEP model that mirrors key features in humans.
