Summary: Additive manufacturing, especially concrete 3D printing, is considered an interesting solution for remote development, enhancing local and national manufacturing and construction industries, and facilitating fast recovery after disasters. This study reviews the challenges of remote housing construction, focusing on Australia's Northern Territory (NT), and discusses the feasibility and efficiency of using concrete 3D printing to overcome these challenges. The advantages, limitations, and concerns of 3D printing for remote housing are presented, along with examples of completed 3D-printed construction projects in remote locations. Trade-offs between various aspects need to be considered to determine the practicality and desirability of 3D printing in remote areas, including materials, structural design, process efficiency, logistics, labor, and environmental impact. If local materials meet the requirements for printability, buildability, and robustness, 3D printing could be a cost-effective solution for remote housing. However, factors such as remote on-site fabrication, available local materials and their quality, and the limitations of large-scale manufacturing process and concrete 3D printing should be evaluated when comparing with conventional construction methods.

Summary: The heterozygous mutation of CHD8 is strongly linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and leads to dysregulated expression of neurodevelopmental and synaptic genes during brain development. Study on a Chd8 mouse model revealed significant alterations in both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission onto deep layer projection neurons in the prefrontal cortex, resulting in an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signals. These disruptions were associated with impaired regulation of homeostatic plasticity mechanisms, suggesting a direct role of CHD8 mutation in the disruption of ASD-relevant cortical circuits.

Summary: In the past decade, advances in whole-brain microscopy have made it possible to obtain high-resolution images of intact brains of small animals, such as mice. These complex images contain a wealth of information, but many neuroscience laboratories lack the computational knowledge and tools necessary to process this data. To address this, we review recent open source tools and propose a pathway for tool developers to collaborate and meet this challenge.

Summary: Animals rely on continuously tracking their heading direction and speed to navigate their environment. This study found that vestibular inputs dominate the coding of angular head velocity in the cortical region called retrosplenial cortex (RSP) in mice. Additionally, the integration of visual inputs onto these neurons enhances their tuning during active exploration, resulting in increased perceptual accuracy of angular self-motion and fidelity of its representation by RSP ensembles.

Summary: A low-cost 3D printed flow-photochemistry setup was developed using readily available lamps. The reactors were printed from polypropylene, allowing for quick optimization of geometry and setup. The bromination of toluenes was successfully carried out in the 3D printed reactors using a Kessil LED lamp, achieving high yields and short residence times as low as 27 s. The reaction compared well with the batch photochemical procedure and could be scaled up to a productivity of 75 mmol h(-1).
