AI Article Synopsis
- Humans use a combination of stimulus-response systems and conscious responses to adapt to changes in their environment and tackle external stimuli.
- This paper introduces an artificial version of this system, which mimics human responses through components like visual receptors, synapses, and neuron circuits.
- The research highlights how this artificial system learns from repeated stimuli to improve response times, potentially paving the way for advancements in AI-based organs for individuals with neurological disorders.
Article Abstract
A stimulus-response system and conscious response enable humans to respond effectively to environmental changes and external stimuli. This paper presents an artificial stimulus-response system that is inspired by human conscious response and is capable of emulating it. The system is composed of an artificial visual receptor, artificial synapse, artificial neuron circuits, and actuator. By incorporating these artificial nervous components, a series of conscious response processes that markedly reduces response time as a result of learning from repeated stimuli are demonstrated. The proposed artificial stimulus-response system offers the promise of a new research field that would aid the development of artificial intelligence-based organs for patients with neurological disorders.

Given the high malignancy of liver cancer and the liver's unique role in immune and metabolic regulation, current treatments have limited efficacy, resulting in a poor prognosis. Hydrogels, soft 3-dimensional network materials comprising numerous hydrophilic monomers, have considerable potential as intelligent drug delivery systems for liver cancer treatment. The advantages of hydrogels include their versatile delivery modalities, precision targeting, intelligent stimulus response, controlled drug release, high drug loading capacity, excellent slow-release capabilities, and substantial potential as carriers of bioactive molecules.

While both concentration and timing of morphogen exposure are crucial, how cells interpret these graded inputs remains challenging to address. We employed an optogenetic system to acutely and reversibly modulate the nuclear concentration of the morphogen Dorsal (DL), homologue of NF-κB, which orchestrates dorso-ventral patterning in the embryo.

Objective: This scoping review seeks to understand how kindness, compassion and empathy are defined and conceptualised within existing healthcare services literature.
Introduction: Little consensus exists on how healthcare literature defines and conceptualises kindness. Kindness is often conflated with the terms compassion and empathy, which both have more prominence in the literature.

Stroop-like interference effects are smaller in blocks of mostly incongruent (MI) trials than in blocks of mostly congruent (MC) trials. It is unclear, though, how control processes trigger this list-wide proportion congruency effect (LWPCE). The attentional shift account posits that a memory of experiencing conflict more frequently in MI blocks than in MC blocks leads control processes to shift attention toward the target in MI blocks.

Article Synopsis
- - The Hengduan Mountains, known for their rich biodiversity, host the endemic butterfly Minois aurata, which thrives in arid valley environments, making it a key species for studying evolutionary adaptations to such conditions.
- - A comprehensive genome assembly for M. aurata revealed it has a genome size of about 609.17 Mb containing over 16,000 protein-coding genes, with a significant number linked to adaptations for ultraviolet radiation, heat, and low oxygen levels.
- - Phylogenomic and demographic analyses showed M. aurata’s evolutionary relationships within its genus and indicated a significant population decline occurring roughly 400,000 and 40,000 years ago, likely due to past climatic changes.
