Current ultrasound techniques using harmonic imaging are presented. Narrow-band harmonic imaging, pulse inversion and coded harmonic imaging techniques are discussed. Basic information about contrast-enhanced harmonic imaging techniques (linear and harmonic scatter, stimulated emission, Flash Echo and subharmonic imaging) is given. Principal advantages of harmonic ultrasonography and clinical indications are discussed.

A fundamental topological principle is that the container always shapes the content. In neuroscience, this translates into how the brain anatomy shapes brain dynamics. From neuroanatomy, the topology of the mammalian brain can be approximated by local connectivity, accurately described by an exponential distance rule (EDR).

Microadditive manufacturing has revolutionized the production of complex, nano- to microscale components across various fields. This work investigates two-photon (2P) and three-photon (3P) fluorescence imaging, as well as third-harmonic generation (THG) microscopy, to examine periodic microarchitected lattice structures fabricated using multiphoton lithography (MPL). By immersing the structures in refractive index matching fluids, we demonstrate high-fidelity 3D reconstructions of both fluorescent structures using 2P and 3P microscopy as well as low-fluorescence structures using THG microscopy.

Background: The human brain is a complex inter-wired system that emerges spontaneous functional fluctuations. In spite of tremendous success in the experimental neuroscience field, a system-level understanding of how brain anatomy supports various neural activities remains elusive.
Method: Capitalizing on the unprecedented amount of neuroimaging data, we present a physics-informed deep model to uncover the coupling mechanism between brain structure and function through the lens of data geometry that is rooted in the widespread wiring topology of connections between distant brain regions.

Background: While Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients' difficulty to recognize face identity (Werheid & Clare, 2007) has been mainly attributed to episodic and semantic memory impairments, these patients can also show abnormal difficulties at matching of unfamiliar faces for their identity, suggesting impaired perceptual function (Lavallée et al., 2016). However, since this latter evidence is based on explicit behavioural measures, the difficulties of AD patients can be due to many factors (e.

Moiré superlattices, created by stacking different van der Waals materials at twist angles, have emerged as a versatile platform for exploring intriguing phenomena such as topological properties, superconductivity, the quantum anomalous Hall effect, and the unconventional Stark effect. Additionally, the formation of moiré superlattice potential can generate spontaneous symmetry breaking, leading to an anisotropic optical response and electronic transport behavior. Herein, we propose a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy for synthesizing WS/SbS moiré superlattices.
