Introduction: Spatial working memory is a kind of short-term memory that allows temporarily storing and manipulating spatial information. Evidence suggests that spatial working memory is processed through three distinctive phases: Encoding, maintenance, and retrieval. Though the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and mediodorsal thalamus (MD) are involved in memory retrieval, how the functional interactions and information transfer between mPFC and MD remains largely unclear.
Methods: We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) from mPFC and MD while mice performed a spatial working memory task in T-maze. The temporal dynamics of functional interactions and bidirectional information flow between mPFC and MD was quantitatively assessed by using directed transfer function.
Results: Our results showed a significantly elevated information flow from mPFC to MD, varied in time and frequency (theta in particular), accompanying successful memory retrieval.
Discussion: Elevated theta information flow, a feature that was absent on error trials, indicates an important role of the directional information transfer from mPFC to MD for memory retrieval.

Transmission electron microscopy, especially at cryogenic temperature, is largely used for studying biological macromolecular complexes. A main difficulty of TEM imaging of biological samples is the weak amplitude contrasts due to electron diffusion on light elements that compose biological organisms. Achieving high-resolution reconstructions implies therefore the acquisition of a huge number of TEM micrographs followed by a time-consuming image analysis.

Introduction: The impact of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in tumor-associated cells, such as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells and endothelial cells, on patient outcomes in clinical specimens have not been examined. For the first time, we characterized the expression and spatial locations of ER stress markers, BiP and CHOP, in tumor-associated cells and assessed their prognostic significance in a panel of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patient samples.
Methods: Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed on tumor microarrays and images were analyzed using HALO AI software.

The riverine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool constitutes the largest and most dynamic organic carbon reservoir within inland aquatic systems. Human activities significantly alter the distribution of organic matter (OM) in rivers, thereby affecting the availability of DOM. However, the impact of total suspended solids (TSS) on DOM under anthropogenic influence remains insufficiently elucidated.

Climate warming is presumed to cause drought on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), posing severe threats to local vegetation and ecosystems. Currently, soil moisture (SM) drought and its effects on vegetation growth have been rarely reported, due to lacking observations and data uncertainties. Here we used ERA5-Land, ESA CCI, and GLDAS Noah SM to investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of summertime (May-September) SM drought and its impacts on vegetation over 1995-2018.

Residents' satisfaction perceptions of ecosystem services (ESs) are essential for the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin (YRB). Existing studies lacks large-scale survey of local residents' satisfaction perception at urban scale within river basins, and has not effectively explored the matching relationship between the ESs supply and the perceptions of local residents. To address this gap, this study develops a database on nine ESs supply and individual perceptions of the YRB, constructs a comprehensive framework to quantify the matching of ESs supply and local residents' satisfaction perceptions, and proposes targeted strategy.
