The operation of a force microscope in Simultaneous Topography and Recognition (TREC) imaging mode is analyzed by means of numerical simulations. Both topography and recognition signals are analyzed by using a worm-like chain force as the specific interaction between the functionalized tip probe and the sample. The special feedback mechanism in this mode is shown to couple the phase signal to the presence of molecular recognition interactions even in absence of dissipation.

Neurodynamic observations indicate that the cerebral cortex evolved by self-organizing into functional networks, These networks, or distributed clusters of regions, display various degrees of attention maps based on input. Traditionally, the study of network self-organization relies predominantly on static data, overlooking temporal information in dynamic neuromorphic data. This paper proposes Temporal Self-Organizing (TSO) method for neuromorphic data processing using a spiking neural network.

Background: Melanoma is the third most common type of skin cancer in Mexico and represents 75% of skin cancer deaths. Dermoscopy is a diagnostic tool that increases early detection of melanoma compared to naked eye examination.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, dermoscopic and histological characteristics of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma treated at the "La Raza" National Medical Center.

The ability of humans to store spoken words in verbal working memory and build extensive vocabularies is believed to stem from evolutionary changes in cortical connectivity across primate species. However, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. Why can humans acquire vast vocabularies, while non-human primates cannot? This study addresses this question using brain-constrained neural networks that realize between-species differences in cortical connectivity.

Motor circuits in the vertebrate hindbrain need to become functional early in development. What are the fundamental mechanisms that establish early synaptic inputs to motor neurons? Previous evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that motor neuron dendrite positioning serves a causal role in early spinal motor circuit development, with initial connectivity determined by the overlap between premotor axons and motor neuron dendrites (perhaps without the need for molecular recognition). Does motor neuron dendrite topography serve a similar role in the hindbrain? In the current study, we provide the first quantitative analysis of the dendrites of facial branchiomotor neurons (FBMNs) in larval zebrafish.

Article Synopsis
- Pre-surgical localization of language function in the brain is essential for patients with epilepsy, and while MEG is useful, its limited availability restricts widespread clinical application.
- Recent advancements in on-head optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) systems show promise for localizing language areas with similar effectiveness to traditional MEG, despite mainly being tested for sensory and motor functions so far.
- In a study involving 19 healthy right-handed participants, OPM MEG successfully identified left-lateralized language processing, suggesting potential future applications in pre-surgical mapping for epilepsy patients.
