As a major component of intracellular trafficking, the coat protein complex II (COPII) is indispensable for cellular function during embryonic development and throughout life. The four SEC24 proteins (A-D) are essential COPII components involved in cargo selection and packaging. A human disorder ...

In Alzheimer's disease, there is an imbalance in neurotransmitter release and altered neuronal activation. Here, we present a protocol approach to analyze neuronal activity by combining local field potential (LFP) recording with microdialysis within the same animal. We describe steps for measuring glutamate and GABA levels following hippocampal amyloi ...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the subjective performance evaluations on pilot trainees' aircraft control abilities and their brainwave dynamics reflected in the results from EEG microstate analysis. Specifically, we seek to identify correlations between distinct microstate patterns and each dimension included in th ...

Background: The distribution of the m6A methylation modification on the transcriptome is highly regionally selective and is mainly concentrated in abnormally long exons and stop codons. However, in-depth research on the selective mechanism of m6A methylation is still lacking. Methods: In this research, meRIP sequencing, mRNA sequencing, meRIP, luciferase ...

Misophonia is a disorder in which specific common sounds such as another person breathing or chewing, or the ticking of a clock, cause an atypical negative emotional response. Affected individuals may experience anger, irritability, annoyance, disgust, and anxiety, as well as physiological autonomic responses, and may find everyday environments and contex ...

Microplastics, particles between 0.001 and 5 mm in diameter, are ubiquitous in the environment and their consumption by aquatic organisms is known to lead to a variety of adverse effects. However, studies on the effects of microplastics on prey fish have not shown consistent trends, with results varying across species and plastic type used. Here, we manip ...

People synchronize their movements more easily to rhythms with tempi closer to their preferred motor rates than with faster or slower ones. More efficient coupling at one's preferred rate, compared to faster or slower rates, should be associated with lower cognitive demands and better attentional entrainment, as predicted by dynamical system theories ...

Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) images from bone density machines enable the automated machine learning assessment of abdominal aortic calcification (ML-AAC), a marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The objective of this study was to describe the risk of a major adverse cardiovascular ...

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures that can cause a wide range of symptoms. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure where multiple electrodes are stereotactically implanted within predefined brain regions to identify the seizure onset zone, which needs to be surgically removed or disconnected to ...

Estrogens and progesterone can have rapid effects on neuronal function and can modify the use of spatial navigation strategies dependent upon the prefrontal cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. Here, we assessed the effects of 17ß-estradiol (E2), progesterone, and its metabolite allopregnanolone, on evoked excitatory postsynaptic potentials in the infralimb ...
