Multielectrode arrays were used to compare responses to tooth chatter and purr calls from all eight areas of the auditory cortex in anaesthetized guinea pigs. These calls have different behavioural contexts: males emit tooth chatters in aggressive encounters and the purr call during courtship behaviour. Of the two core areas, the primary auditory cortex responded better to both signals than the dorsocaudal core area. Of the six belt areas, the ventral transition area was found to be exceptionally sensitive to tooth chatter and less responsive to purr. The small rostral field responded faithfully to the purr, but not to tooth chatter, and ventrorostral belt often showed on/off responses; other belt areas were unresponsive.

Newton-Simpson-based predictor-corrector methods for milling chatter stability prediction.

Milling chatter, a form of self-excited vibration, can cause significant damage in machining and manufacturing processes. By selecting appropriate milling parameters, milling chatter can be effectively mitigated without sacrificing milling efficiency. Within the framework of the semi-discretization scheme, this paper introduces the Newton-Simpson-based predictor-corrector methods to compute milling stability lobe diagrams.

Opioid use disorder is a public health problem that includes symptoms such as withdrawal syndrome and opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Currently, drugs to treat side effects of opioids also have undesirable effects, which lead to limitations. This study investigated the effect of a treatment with cannabidiol in morphine-induced hyperalgesia and withdrawal behavior in morphine-dependent rats.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on episodic mandibular tremor (EMT) in dogs, characterized by brief episodes of teeth chattering, and aims to detail clinical signs, MRI findings, and outcomes for affected dogs.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 11 hospital dogs and 31 survey respondents and found that EMT episodes are usually rapid and can be triggered by excitement, mainly affecting the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed, with a median age of 3 years.
- - The findings indicate that EMT may appear similar to movement disorders or pain, and a significant number of affected dogs had concurrent medical conditions, though no brain diseases were found in those further investigated.

There is accumulating evidence supporting the involvement of tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) in the mechanisms underlying the effects of morphine and an enriched environment. This study was designed to investigate possible interactive roles of the glutamatergic and the dopaminergic systems regarding hippocampal tPA in the neurobiology of morphine dependence. For this purpose, Wistar albino rats, housed in either a standard- (SE) or an enriched environment (EE) were implanted subcutaneously with morphine (150 mg base) or placebo pellets.

Based on a composited Newton-Cotes formula, this paper proposes a numerical method to predict milling stability considering regenerative chatter and focusing on rate and prediction accuracy. First, the dynamic model of milling motion is expressed as state-space equations considering regenerative chatter, with the tooth passing period divided into a set of time intervals. Second, a composited Newton-Cotes formula is introduced to calculate the transition function map for each time interval.
