Background: Electrophysiological resting state functional connectivity using high density electroencephalography (hdEEG) is gaining momentum. The increased resolution offered by hdEEG, usually either 128 or 256 channels, permits source localization of EEG signals on the cortical surface. However, the number of methodological options for the acquisition and analysis of resting state hdEEG is extremely large. These include acquisition duration, eyes open/closed, channel density, source localization methods, and functional connectivity metric.
New Methods: We undertake an extensive examination of the test-retest reliability and methodological agreement of all these options for regional measures of functional connectivity.
Results: Power envelope connectivity shows larger test-retest reliability than imaginary coherence across all bands. While channel density doesn't strongly impact reliability or agreement, source localization methods produce systematically different functional connectivity, highlighting an important obstacle for replicating results in the literature. Most importantly, reliability and agreement often plateaus at or after 6 minutes of acquisition, well beyond the typical duration of 3 minutes. Finally, our study demonstrates that resting EEG can be as or more reliable than resting fMRI acquired in the same individuals.
Conclusions: The competitive reliability and agreement of power envelope connectivity greatly increases our confidence in measuring resting state connectivity using EEG and its capacity to find individual differences.

Background Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained traction as potential cell-free therapeutic candidates. Development of purification methods that are scalable and robust is a major focus of EV research. Yet there is still little in the literature that evaluates purification methods against potency of the EV product.

Migrasomes, the vesicle-like membrane micro-structures, arise on the retraction fibers (RFs), the branched nano-tubules pulled out of cell plasma membranes during cell migration and shaped by membrane tension. Migrasomes form in two steps: a local RF bulging is followed by a protein-dependent stabilization of the emerging spherical bulge. Here we addressed theoretically and experimentally the previously unexplored mechanism of bulging of membrane tubular systems.

Previous studies highlighting the pivotal function of the S100A8 protein have shown that inflammation and vascular endothelial harm play a major role in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) development, as evidenced by earlier studies highlighting the pivotal function of the S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8). Therefore, we aimed to establish a connection between S100A8 and DVT and investigate the role of S100A8 in DVT development. Blood specimens were taken from 23 patients with DVT and 31 controls.

Aberrant large-scale resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) has been frequently documented in ischemic stroke. However, it remains unclear about the altered patterns of within- and across-network connectivity. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify the altered rsFC in patients with ischemic stroke relative to healthy controls, as well as to reveal longitudinal changes of network dysfunctions across acute, subacute, and chronic phases.

The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering the synergistic development of ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing urban ecological protection, recreational development, and sustainable growth. This study aimed to propose a novel method of constructing ESP considering both ecological and recreational functions, and to reconstruct ESP by weighing the relationship between ecological protection and recreational development. Utilizing Fuzhou City as a case study, a comprehensive application of methodologies including Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and circuit theory is employed to develop both the ESP and the Recreational Spatial Pattern (RSP).
