Concussions present a significant risk to athletes, with females exhibiting higher rates and prolonged recovery times than males. Current sideline concussion detection methods, such as the King-Devick test commonly used as a rapid screening tool designed to evaluate eye movement, attention, language, and cognitive processing abilities suffer from validity ...

The lack of active and selective catalysts hinders transition to the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) as an environmentally friendly route for on-site ammonia production under ambient conditions. In search of active NRR electrocatalysts, we generated a dataset of surface and ordered intermetallic alloys using density functional theory (DF ...

Amyloid beta oligomers (AßO) are pivotal in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), cleared by microglia cells, as immune cells in the brain. Microglia cells exposed to AßO are involved with migration, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and activated microglial receptors through AßO, impacting cellular mechanobiological characteristics such as microglial adhesion strength to ...

Identifying materials with optimal optoelectronic properties for targeted applications represents both a critical need and a persistent challenge in optoelectronic device engineering. Machine learning models often depend on extensive datasets, which are typically lacking in specialized research d ...

In sleep, the brain balances protecting processes like memory consolidation with preserving responsiveness to significant external stimuli. Although reductions in higher-level auditory processes during deeper sleep have been described, the sleep-dependent changes across levels of auditory hierarchy, particularly as regards early sound representations, rem ...

Background: Lifestyle factors like exercise and cognitive stimulation might help improve cognitive performance in older adults. However, studies investigating this, reported mixed results. Most of the data supporting the benefit of exercise comes from cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, or s ...

Introduction: The Medical Emotion Scale has been translated into Japanese (J-MES) and validated for cross-cultural emotion research in medical education. However, its applicability for extracting Japanese cultural aspects of medical students' emotions has not been examined. This study aimed to explore the underlying latent constructs related to cultur ...

Sleep spindles are neural events unique to nonrapid eye movement sleep that play key roles in memory reactivation and consolidation. However, much of the evidence for their function remains correlational rather than causal. Closed-loop brain stimulation uses real-time monitoring of neural events (often via electroencephalography; EEG) to deliver precise a ...

Can metaphorical reasoning involving embodied experience-such as color perception-be learned from the statistics of language alone? Recent work finds that colorblind individuals robustly understand and reason abstractly about color, implying that color associations in everyday language might cont ...

GH7 cellobiohydrolases (CBH1s) are essential for depolymerizing crystalline cellulose, yet the hypercellulolytic thermophile Rasamsonia emersonii secretes them only in low amounts, leaving a gap in its native enzyme cocktail. To see whether a cognate CBH1 could fill this gap and how it stacks up against the industrial workhorse strain Trichoderma reesei C ...
