Low power electronics endowed with artificial intelligence and biological afferent characters are beneficial to neuromorphic sensory network. Highly distributed synaptic sensory neurons are more readily driven by portable, distributed, and ubiquitous power sources. Here, we report a contact-electrification-activated artificial afferent at femtojoule energy. Upon the contact-electrification effect, the induced triboelectric signals activate the ion-gel-gated MoS postsynaptic transistor, endowing the artificial afferent with the adaptive capacity to carry out spatiotemporal recognition/sensation on external stimuli (e.g., displacements, pressures and touch patterns). The decay time of the synaptic device is in the range of sensory memory stage. The energy dissipation of the artificial afferents is significantly reduced to 11.9 fJ per spike. Furthermore, the artificial afferents are demonstrated to be capable of recognizing the spatiotemporal information of touch patterns. This work is of great significance for the construction of next-generation neuromorphic sensory network, self-powered biomimetic electronics and intelligent interactive equipment.

Continuous vital sign monitoring of patients recovering from surgery on general wards: a narrative review.

Most postoperative deaths occur on general wards, often linked to complications associated with untreated changes in vital signs. Monitoring in these units is typically intermittent checks each shift or maximally every 4-6 h, which misses prolonged periods of subtle changes in physiology that can herald a critical downstream event. Continuous monitoring of vital signs is therefore intuitively necessary for patient safety.

The dentate gyrus has often been posited to act as a gate that dampens highly active afferent input into the hippocampus. Effective gating is thought to prevent seizure initiation and propagation in the hippocampus and support learning and memory processes. Pathological changes to DG circuitry that occur in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can increase DG excitability and impair its gating ability which can contribute to seizures and cognitive deficits.

Visual deprivation does not silence the visual cortex, which is responsive to auditory, tactile, and other nonvisual tasks in blind persons. However, the underlying functional dynamics of the neural networks mediating such crossmodal responses remain unclear. Here, using braille reading as a model framework to investigate these networks, we presented sighted (N=13) and blind (N=12) readers with individual visual print and tactile braille alphabetic letters, respectively, during MEG recording.

Unlabelled: Diaphragm dysfunction develops in central nervous system damage, chest injuries, complications of cardiac surgery, long-term artificial lung ventilation, respiratory diseases. Anatomical morphological features of phrenic nerves allow to effectively use electromagnetic stimulation methods for functional recovery of the diaphragm in different pathological conditions. Invasive and non-invasive, electric and magnetic methods of stimulation are used depending on the severity of manifestations of the diaphragm dysfunction and its genesis.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at a surgery called the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) that helps people with prosthetic limbs feel sensations like they have their real limbs back.
- After the surgery, the muscles can get weak because they’re not used much, but electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) can help keep the muscles strong.
- The experiment on rats showed that those treated with EMS had better muscle performance and sensations, making the surgery even more effective than those who didn’t get EMS.
