An organism can be aroused in many different manners. Here, Wang el al. demonstrate that a multisensory thalamic region can mediate spontaneous, sensory, and defensive arousal via its widespread projection, which indicates a non-canonical function of this area.

Article Synopsis
  • A laser pulse in a magnetically confined fusion plasma creates a microscopic cavity by removing electrons and causing a Coulomb explosion of ions.
  • Simulations suggest that this tiny cavity can collapse within 10 nanoseconds, influenced by factors like size and electric fields.
  • Researchers are exploring whether these collapsing cavities can create stable micro-cavities that might be useful for applications in plasma technology, such as diagnostics and control methods.
