High-definition (HD) mapping with the Advisor HD Grid and HD Wave Solution software offers unparalleled resolution in mapping complex arrhythmias. The unique shape of a HD Grid (16 electrodes in a 4 × 4 pattern) allows for the mapping of orthogonal electrograms (EGMs). In so doing, the HD Grid catheter virtually eliminates the issue of 'bipolar blindness', a phenomenon seen when a wavefront of propagation is traveling perpendicular to a bipole pair. By improving the accuracy of the 3D electroanatomical map, HD Grid offers the potential of shorter procedure times, safer ablations and higher success rates. The following article explores the role of HD Grid in mapping a variety of arrhythmias including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. In addition, the authors explore the role of HD Grid in more recently described substrate-based advanced mapping techniques.

Persistent homology applied to the activity of grid cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex suggests that this activity lies on a toroidal manifold. By analyzing real data and a simple model, we show that neural oscillations play a key role in the appearance of this toroidal topology. To quantitatively monitor how changes in spike trains influence the topology of the data, we first define a robust measure for the degree of toroidality of a dataset.

In this Highlights article, we present insights into the use of simple cell lines in neuroinflammation research, highlighting key findings from our recent investigations. Simple cell lines, including HEK, PC12, SHSY5Y, and N2a cells, provide valuable insights into critical signaling pathways and hidden facets of the neuroinflammatory landscape. Focusing on specific outcomes, including the impact of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC1a), the study sheds light on neuroinflammatory processes.

Unlabelled: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to obesity or systemic insulin resistance is an important pathogenic factor that could lead to pancreatic β-cell failure. We have previously reported that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is highly induced by ER stress in pancreatic β cells. Moreover, its accumulation hampers the response of these cells to ER stress by inhibiting the induction of the molecular chaperone 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78).

Unlabelled: The hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system, Medtronic MiniMed 770G, has been available for use by Japanese individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus since 2021. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of its use on glycemic variability and quality of life (QOL) in this population. This multicenter, open-label, prospective observational study included 14 Japanese individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with MiniMed 640G.

Objective: To examine the validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) against an objective method for assessing physical activity (PA) in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 126 adults with T1D (aged 20-74 years). The participants wore a triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days and completed the IPAQ-SF (a recall survey for the last 7 days) on the day following the 7-day accelerometer period.
