The mirror neuron system has been argued to be a key brain system responsible for understanding the actions of others and for imitation. It has therefore been proposed that problems within this system could explain the social difficulties experienced by people with autism spectrum condition. This idea is referred to as the broken mirror hypothesis. However, research has produced insufficient evidence to support the broken mirror hypothesis in its original form. Therefore, two other models have been suggested: EP-M model and the social top-down response modulation (STORM) model. All models suggest something is different regarding the mirror neuron system in autism spectrum condition: either within the mirror neuron system itself or within the systems that control the activity of the mirror neuron system. This literature review compares these three models in regard to recent neuroscientific investigations. This review concludes that there is insufficient support for both the broken mirror hypothesis, but converging evidence supports an integrated EP-M and STORM model.

Mutations in KRAS G12C are among the more common oncogenic driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In December 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to adagrasib, a small molecule covalent inhibitor of KRAS G12C, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC who received at least one prior systemic therapy based on promising results from phase 1 and 2 trials wherein adagrasib demonstrated a median PFS of 6.5 months.

We study one-point statistics of helical turbulent pulsations in the background of a three-dimensional large-scale vortex in a rotating fluid. Assuming that the helical flow is created by a statistically axially symmetric random force with broken mirror symmetry, we analytically calculate the velocity-vorticity mean including its magnitude and the anisotropy. For electrically conducting liquid, we examine the α-effect in the system.

We present a rare case of rhabdoid squamous cell carcinoma (RSCC) on the scalp of a non-immunosuppressed male patient in his late 60s. This aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is characterized by tumor cells with eccentrically located nuclei and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, as observed on histopathological examination. While rhabdoid morphology has been reported in various anatomical sites, its occurrence in primary cutaneous tumors is exceptionally uncommon, with fewer than 10 cases documented to date.

We demonstrate that chiral response can be achieved in resonant metasurfaces with a monoclinic lattice symmetry (the so-called Bravais oblique lattices) where the mirror symmetry is broken by the lattice asymmetry and also by a substrate, whereas each individual meta-atom remains fully achiral. We describe the underlying physics by introducing a mode chirality parameter as a quantitative measure of the lattice chiral eigenmodes. We confirm experimentally selective linear and nonlinear chiral interaction of resonant silicon metasurfaces with circularly polarized light.

Article Synopsis
- Van der Waals (vdW) crystals with strong spin-orbit coupling are key for discovering unique 2D superconductors, where new pairing states arise from the combination of various factors like SOC and crystal structure.
- The study highlights a mirror-symmetry protected Ising pairing state in a heterostructure of SnSe and TaSe, where the arrangement of the lattice helps minimize interference from certain pairing mechanisms.
- The findings indicate that these vdW heterostructures can enhance the critical temperature under specific magnetic fields, which does not occur in other multilayer configurations due to a loss of mirror symmetry.
