In a new study in this issue of Neuron, Jakubs and colleagues report that adult-generated hippocampal granule cells develop particular functional properties when their birth is induced by epileptic seizures. The new neurons showed reduced excitatory synaptic input and decreased excitability. Their functional integration was thus adjusted to the prevailing functional state in the network. By this means, adult neurogenesis might contribute to network homeostasis in the epileptic temporal lobe.

When Photoelectrons Meet Gas Molecules: Determining the Role of Inelastic Scattering in Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

ACS Cent Sci

January 2025

Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

Inelastic photoelectron scattering (IPES) by gas molecules, a critical phenomenon observed in ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS), complicates spectral interpretation due to kinetic energy loss in the primary spectrum and the appearance of additional features at higher binding energies. In this study, we systematically investigate IPES in various gas environments using APXPS, providing detailed insights into interactions between photoelectrons emitted from solid surfaces and surrounding gas molecules. Core-level XPS spectra of Au, Ag, Zn, and Cu metals were recorded over a wide kinetic energy range in the presence of CO, N, Ar, and H gases, demonstrating the universal nature of IPES across different systems.

Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) which helps to identify and classify human emotions as positive, negative, and neutral. Emotion analysis in BCI maintains a substantial perspective in distinct fields such as healthcare, education, gaming, and human-computer interaction. In healthcare, emotion analysis based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals is deployed to provide personalized support for patients with autism or mood disorders.

Hollow TiO@TpPa S-Scheme Photocatalyst for Efficient HO Production Through O in Deionized Water Using Phototautomerization.

Small

January 2025

Laboratory of Solar Fuel, Faculty of Materials Science and Chemistry, China University of Geosciences, 68 Jincheng Street, Wuhan, Hubei, 430078, P. R. China.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) production through photocatalytic O reduction reaction (ORR) is a mild and cost-efficient alternative to the anthraquinone oxidation strategy. Of note, singlet state oxygen (O) plays a crucial role in ORR. Herein, a hollow TiO@TpPa (TOTP) S-scheme heterojunction by the Schiff base reactions involving 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and paraphenylenediamine (Pa) for efficient photocatalytic HO production in deionized water has been developed.
