Inter-areal synchronization of neuronal oscillations at frequencies below ~100 Hz is a pervasive feature of neuronal activity and is thought to regulate communication in neuronal circuits. In contrast, faster activities and oscillations have been considered to be largely local-circuit-level phenomena without large-scale synchronization between brain regions. We show, using human intracerebral recordings, that 100-400 Hz high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) may be synchronized between widely distributed brain regions. HFO synchronization expresses individual frequency peaks and exhibits reliable connectivity patterns that show stable community structuring. HFO synchronization is also characterized by a laminar profile opposite to that of lower frequencies. Importantly, HFO synchronization is both transiently enhanced and suppressed in separate frequency bands during a response-inhibition task. These findings show that HFO synchronization constitutes a functionally significant form of neuronal spike-timing relationships in brain activity and thus a mesoscopic indication of neuronal communication per se.

Article Synopsis
- DOM and lisuride are both chemical compounds that act as partial agonists on 5-HT receptors, with DOM being hallucinogenic and lisuride lacking these properties.
- A study using electrophysiological techniques on rats found that both drugs increased theta power and oscillation frequency but differed in their effects on medium spiny neurons and fast-spiking interneurons.
- These findings highlight similarities that may help explain their effects on behavior, while also pointing out critical differences in neuronal activity that could account for the distinct hallucinogenic effects of DOM compared to the non-hallucinogenic lisuride.
Connectivity of high-frequency bursts as SOZ localization biomarker.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the identification of seizure onset zones (SOZ) in patients with refractory epilepsy using a new metric called channel-level connectivity dispersion (CLCD) to analyze brain activity.
- CLCD measures the variability in synchronization between individual electrodes and aims to identify connections associated with abnormal brain activity linked to SOZ.
- The method was tested on two datasets of intracranial electroencephalography signals, showing promising results in differentiating SOZ channels from non-SOZ channels based on lower CLCD values.

Artificial synapses and bionic neurons offer great potential in highly efficient computing paradigms. However, complex requirements for specific electronic devices in neuromorphic computing have made memristors face the challenge of process simplification and universality. Herein, reconfigurable Ag/HfO/NiO/Pt memristors are designed for feasible switching between volatile and nonvolatile modes by compliance current controlled Ag filaments, which enables stable and reconfigurable synaptic and neuronal functions.

The aim was to investigate the long-term effects of a single episode of immature Status Epilepticus (SE) on the excitability of the septal and temporal hippocampus in vitro, by studying the relationship between interictal-like epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs; Ripples, Rs and Fast Ripples, FRs). A pentylenetetrazol-induced Status Epilepticus-(SE)-like generalized seizure was induced at postnatal day 20 in 22 male and female juvenile rats, sacrificed >40 days later to prepare hippocampal slices. Spontaneous IEDs induced by Mg-free ACSF were recorded from the CA3 area of temporal (T) or septal (S) slices.

cGAS-STING signaling plays a critical role in radiotherapy (RT)-mediated immunomodulation. However, RT alone is insufficient to sustain STING activation in tumors under a safe X-ray dose. Here, we propose a radiosensitization cooperated with cGAS stimulation strategy by engineering a core-shell structured nanosized radiosensitizer-based cGAS-STING agonist, which is constituted with the hafnium oxide (HfO) core and the manganese oxide (MnO) shell.
