We investigate solitary states and solitary state chimeras in a ring of nonlocally coupled systems represented by FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons in the oscillatory regime. We perform a systematic study of solitary states in this network. In particular, we explore the phase space structure, calculate basins of attraction, analyze the region of existence of solitary states in the system's parameter space, and investigate how the number of solitary nodes in the network depends on the coupling parameters. We report for the first time the occurrence of solitary state chimera in networks of coupled time-continuous neural systems. Our results disclose distinctive features characteristic of solitary states in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model, such as the flat mean phase velocity profile. On the other hand, we show that the mechanism of solitary states' formation in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model similar to chaotic maps and the Kuramoto model with inertia is related to the appearance of bistability in the system for certain values of coupling parameters. This indicates a general, probably a universal desynchronization scenario via solitary states in networks of very different nature.

Spending time alone is a virtually inevitable part of daily life that can promote or undermine well-being. Here, we explore how the language used to describe time alone - such as "me-time", "solitude", or "isolation" - influences how it is perceived and experienced. In Study 1 ( = 500 U.

RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) are a key class of proteins that primarily bind single-stranded RNAs. In this study, we applied standard atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to obtain insights into the intricate binding dynamics between uridine-rich RNAs and TbRGG2 RRM using the recently developed OL3-Stafix AMBER force field, which improves the description of single-stranded RNA molecules. Complementing structural experiments that unveil a primary binding mode with a single uridine bound, our simulations uncover two supplementary binding modes in which adjacent nucleotides encroach upon the binding pocket.

The parabrachial nucleus (PB), located in the dorsolateral pons, contains primarily glutamatergic neurons that regulate responses to a variety of interoceptive and cutaneous sensory signals. One lateral PB subpopulation expresses the Calca gene, which codes for the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). These PB neurons relay signals related to threatening stimuli such as hypercarbia, pain, and nausea, yet their inputs and their neurochemical identity are only partially understood.

A 51-Year-Old Man With Dyspnea and a Pulmonary Nodule.

Chest

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Health and Multimorbidity, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

A 51-year-old man presented with chest tightness, exertional dyspnea, and occasional chest pain for 2 years. The patient visited his local hospital initially, and CT scan revealed a ground glass opacity (GGO) located in the right upper lobe (Fig 1A). He was diagnosed as having pulmonary infection and treated with levofloxacin for 12 days.
