AI Article Synopsis

  • Intrinsically driven neural activity at rest shows complex patterns of synchronization across various brain regions, with notable fluctuations and nonstationarity at different time scales.
  • Resting-state EEG recordings from 12 young adults revealed continuous rapid transitions between stable states, indicating dynamic brain activity even when not engaged in specific tasks.
  • The analysis found that most states could be grouped into three main families, suggesting a limited set of core states that are frequently revisited and shared among participants, highlighting the brain’s intricate synchronization patterns.

Article Abstract

Intrinsically driven neural activity generated at rest exhibits complex spatiotemporal dynamics characterized by patterns of synchronization across distant brain regions. Mounting evidence suggests that these patterns exhibit fluctuations and nonstationarity at multiple time scales. Resting-state electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings were examined in 12 young adults for changes in synchronization patterns on a fast time scale in the range of tens to hundreds of milliseconds. Results revealed that EEG dynamics continuously underwent rapid transitions between intermittently stable states. Numerous approximate recurrences of states were observed within single recording epochs, across different epochs separated by longer times, and between participants. For broadband (4-30 Hz) data, a majority of states could be grouped into three families, suggesting the existence of a limited repertoire of core states that is continually revisited and shared across participants. Our results document the existence of fast synchronization dynamics iterating amongst a small set of core networks in the resting brain, complementing earlier findings of nonstationary dynamics in electromagnetic recordings and transient EEG microstates.

Transcription introduces torsional stress in the DNA fiber causing it to transition from a relaxed to a supercoiled state that can propagate across several kilobases and modulate the binding and activity of DNA-associated proteins. As a result, transcription at one locus has the potential to impact nearby transcription events. In this study, we asked how DNA supercoiling affects histone modifications and transcription of neighboring genes in the multicellular eukaryote .

Debilitating anxiety is pervasive in the modern world. Choices to approach or avoid are common in everyday life and excessive avoidance is a cardinal feature of all anxiety disorders. Here, we used intracranial EEG to define a distributed prefrontal-limbic circuit dynamics supporting approach and avoidance.

MEVDT: Multi-modal event-based vehicle detection and tracking dataset.

Data Brief

February 2025

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Michigan-Dearborn, 4901 Evergreen Rd, Dearborn, 48128 MI, USA.

In this data article, we introduce the Multi-Modal Event-based Vehicle Detection and Tracking (MEVDT) dataset. This dataset provides a synchronized stream of event data and grayscale images of traffic scenes, captured using the Dynamic and Active-Pixel Vision Sensor (DAVIS) 240c hybrid event-based camera. MEVDT comprises 63 multi-modal sequences with approximately 13k images, 5M events, 10k object labels, and 85 unique object tracking trajectories.

Solar-driven CO photoreduction holds promise for sustainable fuel and chemical productions, but the complex proton-coupled multi-electron transfer processes and sluggish oxidation half-reaction kinetics substantially hinder its efficiency. Here, we devised a rational catalyst design to address these challenges by fabricating ferrocene carboxylic acid-functionalized CsSbBr nanocrystals (CSB-Fc NCs), which facilitate simultaneous benzyl alcohol oxidation and CO reduction reactions under visible-light irradiation. The synchronized proton-coupled electron transfer processes between the reduction and oxidation half-reactions on CSB-Fc NCs resulted in a 5-fold increase in the CO reduction rate (45.

Optimising lighting conditions to enhance seafarer adaptation to the '6-h on/6-h off' shift pattern: a balanced crossover study.

J Sleep Res

January 2025

Department of Light Sources and Illuminating Engineering, School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

The '6-h on/6-h off' shift pattern could potentially disrupt the physiological rhythms and cognitive performance of seafarers, attributed to its shorter and more frequent shifts. Conversely, light exposure has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive abilities and synchronise physiological processes. Therefore, we studied the fatigue, cognition, sleep and rhythm of seafarers with different shifts to determine how light can benefit their performance.
