A key function of the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex is to bridge events that are discontinuous in time, and it has been proposed that medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) supports memory retention by sustaining the sequential activity of hippocampal time cells. Therefore, we recorded hippocampal neuronal activity during spatial working memory and asked whether time cells depend on mEC inputs. Working memory was impaired in rats with mEC lesions, but the occurrence of time cells and of trajectory-coding cells in the stem did not differ from controls. Rather, the main effect of mEC lesions was an extensive spatial coding deficit of CA1 cells, which included inconsistency over time and reduced firing differences between positions on the maze. Therefore, mEC is critical for providing stable and distinct spatial information to hippocampus, while working memory (WM) maintenance is likely supported either by local synaptic plasticity in hippocampus or by activity patterns elsewhere in the brain.

The First Affiliated Hospital, and College of Clinical Medicine of Henan University of Science and Technology, Luoyang, China.
Background: The diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy continue to face numerous challenges, highlighting the urgent need for the development of rapid, accurate, and non-invasive methods for seizure detection. In recent years, advancements in the analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have garnered widespread attention, particularly in the area of seizure recognition.
Methods: A novel hybrid deep learning approach that combines feature fusion for efficient seizure detection is proposed in this study.
Effects of Acupuncture on Cognitive Functions in Patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To explore the effects of acupuncture in comparison with sham acupuncture on cognitive functions in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 31 RRMS patients in the acupuncture group were treated with traditional Chinese acupuncture based on the treatment principle of calming the mind, reinforcing qi and blood, and 31 patients in the control group were treated with sham acupuncture (shallow needling at non-acupuncture points) twice a week for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) score, which was evaluated by a psychologist at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment.
The effect of Naringin on cognitive function, oxidative stress, cholinergic activity, CREB/BDNF signaling and hippocampal cell damage in offspring rats with utero-placental insufficiency-induced intrauterine growth restriction.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) induced by utero-placental insufficiency (UPI) results in delayed neural development and impaired brain growth. This study investigates the effects of Naringin (Nar) on memory, learning, cholinergic activity, oxidative stress markers, hippocampal CREB/BDNF signal pathway and cell damage in offspring of rats exposed to UPI. Twenty pregnant Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control, sham surgery, UPI + NS (UPI + normal saline as a vehicle), and UPI + Nar (UPI + Nar at 100 mg/kg/day).

Background: Fluoroethylnormemantine (FENM), a new Memantine (MEM) derivative, prevented amyloid-β[25-35] peptide (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity in mice, a pharmacological model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with high predictive value for drug discovery. Here, as drug infusion is likely to better reflect drug bioavailability due to the interspecies pharmacokinetics variation, we analyzed the efficacy of FENM after chronic subcutaneous (SC) infusion, in comparison with IP injections in two AD mouse models, Aβ-injected mice and the transgenic APP/PSEN1 (APP/PS1) line.
Methods: In Aβ-treated mice, FENM was infused at 0.

With the advancement of internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, access to large-scale bilingual parallel data has become more efficient, thereby accelerating the development and application of machine translation. Given the increasing cultural exchanges between China and Japan, many scholars have begun to study the Chinese translation of Japanese waka poetry. Based on this, the study first explores the structure of waka and the current state of its Chinese translations, analyzing existing translation disputes and introducing a data collection method for waka using IoT.
