The study of brain structure and change in neuroscience is commonly conducted using macroscopic morphological measures of the brain such as regional volume or cortical thickness, providing little insight into the microstructure and physiology of the brain. In contrast, quantitative Magnetic Reson ...

Lake ecosystems are increasingly impacted by eutrophication and climate change. Whole-lake experiments have provided ecosystem-scale insights into the effects of freshwater stressors, yet these are constrained to the duration of monitoring programmes. Here, we leveraged multidecadal monitoring records and century-scale paleogenetic reconstructions for exp ...

Dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder characterized by persistent difficulties in reading, writing and spelling. Studying adults with dyslexia is challenging due to diverse experiences, varying ages of diagnosis and potential comorbidities. This study utilized a mixed-method approach to explore how the timing and occurrence of a dyslexia diagnosis influe ...

Purpose: Intolerance of uncertainty is central to many psychological disorders and may contribute to pain. Despite the uncertainty inherent in childhood cancer survivorship, little is known about intolerance of uncertainty in this population. This study aimed to characterize intolerance of uncert ...

One of the most promising interventional targets for brain health is cerebral perfusion, but its link to white matter (WM) aging remains unclear. Motivated by existing literature demonstrating links between declining cortical perfusion and the development of WM hyperintensities, we posit that regional WM hypoperfusion precedes deteriorating WM integrity. ...

Introduction: The 24-hour activity cycle (24-HAC) includes physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep. The 24-HAC composition and brain health relationship in adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains underexplored. We examined associations between 24-HAC composition and gray matter (GM) volume. Methods: Cross-sectional study in ...

Urban flooding has become a growing concern for many cities due to accelerating urbanisation, changing weather, and drainage system aging. Earlier studies of floods have taken primarily the traditional process-based approach to predicting urban floods, offering limited exploration of recent advancements in AI-driven, real-time, and community-integrated ap ...

Droplet microfluidics has become a ubiquitous and powerful tool for high-throughput phenotypic screening at the single-cell level. Large numbers of cells can be sorted for a variety of functions, including the secretion of antibodies with tailored properties. The recovery of cells from sorted droplets is still very poor compared to droplet sorting, usuall ...

In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis was conducted on four agriculturally important genotypes of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) named Yazd, Tabriz, Varamin, and Karaj to identify effective proteins and mechanisms involved in self-incompatibility. Self-pollinated and open-pollinated seeds from each genotype were planted in separate lines. The ...

Hypothesis: To determine whether chronic use of experimental computed tomography (CT)-based frequency allocations would improve cochlear implant (CI) user performance in the areas of speech and music perception, as compared to the clinical default frequency mapping provided by the CI manufacturer. Background: CIs utilize default frequency maps to distrib ...
