Electrical activity of human amygdala was studied by implanted electrodes at epileptic clinic. Respiration-linked spindles of 20-30 cps, 30-50 microV, 1-3 s duration were registered in response to various odoriferous stimuli. Room air was less but effective to induce this activity. The spindles seemed to emerge at the end of inspiration or the beginning of expiration and in case of monorhinal breathing or sniffing occurred in the ipsilateral structure only. Frequency analysis (within 20-40 Hz range) showed that quasisinusoidal olfactory rhythm may be expanded into sinusoidal components but no specific odour-dependent peculiarities of the rhythm were observed.

Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) are pivotal in governing diverse cellular processes, such as stress response, DNA repair, and mechanisms associated with complex diseases like cancer. The interventions in GRNs aim to restore the system state to its normal condition by altering gene activities over time. Unlike most intervention approaches that rely on the direct observability of the system state and assume no response of the cell against intervention, this paper models the fight between intervention and cell dynamic response using a partially observed zero-sum Markov game with binary state variables.

Aims And Objectives: The study aimed to compare the auditory perception status of children from different socioeconomic backgrounds, specifically urban versus rural. It also examined the correlation between outcome measures and the frequency of auditory verbal therapy sessions attended, as well as the impact of continuous electric analog stimulation on the age of implantation.

Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 30 children who have received unilateral cochlear implantation in rural versus urban backgrounds.

Background: The common occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) as a cardiac arrhythmia, along with its link to sleep deprivation (SD), is gaining more acknowledgment. Even with progress in comprehending the development of AF, the molecular connections between SD and AF are still not well-defined. The objective of this research was to pinpoint the shared molecular routes responsible for SD-induced AF and investigate possible treatment targets.

Although the accumulation of random genetic mutations has been traditionally viewed as the main cause of cancer progression, altered mechanobiological profiles of the cells and microenvironment also play a major role as a mutation-independent element. To probe the latter, we have previously reported a microfluidic cell-culture platform with an integrated flexible actuator and its application for sequential cyclic compression of cancer cells. The platform is composed of a control microchannel in a top layer for introducing external pressure, and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane from which a monolithically-integrated actuator protrudes downwards into a cell-culture microchannel.
