The passive avoidance learning and memory trace retention in mice lacking monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) and control C3H strain were analyzed. It is shown that mice of both strains were well the passive avoidance learners. A delay of the memory trace extinction was found in lacking MAO A mice as compared with control C3H strain. Mice with a genetic MAO A knockout showed decreased amounts of transitions, rearings, looking to a dark compartment and appearing from it. These findings seem to reflect more expressed fear reaction to a dangerous compartment and increased anxiety promoting longer retention of memory trace on a high level of retrieval.

There has been an increasing need for small, low-cost, and low-power consumption optical transceivers for short-reach fiber links. Waveguide-integrated photodetectors (PDs) with wide bandwidth and high responsivity on Si photonics platforms are an essential element for these applications. We have fabricated an O-band membrane PD which is suitable for integration with high-performance III-V-based membrane devices such as lasers and modulators, and passive waveguide circuits on the Si photonics platforms.

The proposed structure is easy to fabricate, consisting of only two single-mode optical fibers adhered to a magnetostrictive rod and the Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity filled with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Benefitting from the negative thermal-optics coefficient of PDMS, the temperature cross-sensitivity of the sensor decreased from 351.

Recently we have found that mammals have an additional fragment of approximately 20 amino acids in Emx1 and a poly-(Ala)6-7 in Emx2, compared to other amniotes. It has been shown that Emx1 and Emx2 have synergistic actions in the brain development.

Background: We investigated chitosan's protective effects against tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ)-induced toxicity in adult male rats, focusing on cognitive functions and oxidative stress in the brain, liver, and kidneys.
Methods: Rats were divided into four groups (n = 8/group): (1) Control, (2) Chitosan only, (3) TBHQ only, and (4) Chitosan + TBHQ.
Results: TBHQ exposure led to significant cognitive impairments and increased oxidative stress, marked by elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels.
