Published: August 2014

We report an unusual magnetic anisotropy in a S = 1/2 1D antiferromagnetic (AF) compound CuCl2(pdz) (pdz = pyridazine). The magnetic susceptibility for H//a* and H//c showed characteristic behavior in the S = 1/2 1D Heisenberg AF system, whereas that for H//b exhibited a 1/T contribution. The origin of such an anomalous anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility is explained by the staggered g-tensor of this compound.

Cell shape modulates mitotic spindle positioning forces via intracellular hydrodynamics.

The regulation of mitotic spindle positioning and orientation is central to the morphogenesis of developing embryos and tissues. In many multicellular contexts, cell geometry has been shown to have a major influence on spindle positioning, with spindles that commonly align along the longest cell shape axis. To date, however, we still lack an understanding of how the nature and amplitude of intracellular forces that position, orient, or hold mitotic spindles depend on cell geometry.

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of macromolecules which has two forms - perineuronal nets (PNNs) and a diffuse ECM (dECM) - both influence brain development, synapse formation, neuroplasticity, CNS injury and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. ECM remodeling can influence extrasynaptic transmission, mediated by diffusion of neuroactive substances in the extracellular space (ECS). In this study we analyzed how disrupted PNNs and dECM influence brain diffusibility.

Chiral Phonons Induced from Spin Dynamics via Magnetoelastic Anisotropy.

We propose a mechanism to obtain chiral phononlike excitations from the bond-dependent magnetoelastic couplings in the absence of out-of-plane magnetization and magnetic fields. By mapping the hybrid excitation to its phononic analog, we reveal the impact of the lattice symmetry on the origin of the chirality. In the example of a triangular lattice ferromagnet, we recognize that the system is equivalent to the class D of topological phonons, and show the tunable chirality and topology by an in-plane magnetic field.

Background: Although it is well established that lower cognitive performance, on average, is associated with a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, it is unclear whether distinct cognitively-defined subgroups exist among non-demented older adults and whether such profiles map onto distinct AD neuroimaging measure profiles.

Method: The sample consisted of 167 non-demented older adults from the BIOCARD study with comprehensive neuropsychological and clinical evaluations, amyloid PET and brain MRI scans. The MRI measure included: global cortical volume in AD-signature regions and a medial-temporal lobe composite; resting-state functional connectivity within 5 large-scale cognitive networks; global white matter microstructure, index by fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusion (RD) on DTI scans; and global white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume on FLAIR scans.

Background: Aging is accompanied by declines in brain structure and executive functions like cognitive flexibility - the ability to switch between tasks. However, there are substantial individual differences in degree of impairment, as some elders maintain high functioning despite accumulation of brain damage. This variability suggests higher cognitive reserve (CR) which enables older adults to cope more effectively with structural brain changes.
