Summary: Acute exposure to light has a significant impact on physiology and may affect memory performance in mice, depending on the intensity of light and brain wave activities. Factors such as the phase of the internal clock and homeostatic sleep pressure can influence how light input translates into behavioral performance.

Summary: Repeated listening to unknown music gradually familiarizes individuals with musical sequences. This study investigates the electrophysiological changes during the familiarization with initially unknown music, revealing sustained decreases in theta and gamma event-related desynchronization (ERD) in specific brain regions. Theta ERD is associated with successfully identifying familiar sequences, while gamma ERD is related to forming unfamiliar sequences.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder for which an effective therapy has yet to be found. Research suggests that early damage to the ascending monoaminergic system in the brainstem may be an early sign and potential trigger of AD. In addition, cortical malfunction and local neurohistopathology are also related to the progression of AD.

Summary: The study found that decreases in neocortical alpha/beta power during sequence perception were correlated with enhanced memory performance, while increases in hippocampal theta/gamma phase-amplitude coupling during mnemonic binding were also correlated with enhanced memory performance. This suggests a functional dissociation where neocortical alpha/beta oscillations may support the processing of incoming information relevant to memory, while hippocampal theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling may support the binding of this information into a coherent memory trace.

Summary: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a serious condition with a poor prognosis in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. This review examined randomized controlled trials on pharmacotherapy for HRS. The results suggested that norepinephrine is as effective as terlipressin for HRS reversal, and terlipressin with albumin leads to higher rates of HRS reversal compared to albumin alone.

Summary: This study examined the phonological underspecification of English feature contrasts using neural markers and event-related electrophysiological methods. The results showed processing asymmetries between liquid and glide phonemes, supporting the predictions of the underspecification model.

Summary: Theta-gamma coupling is an independent neurophysiological process that supports working memory in older adults at risk for dementia, and is not associated with other clinical, genetic, neurochemical, and structural variables.

Summary: The study found that attentional control indicators TBR and PD are synchronized with breathing, suggesting the presence of an underlying oscillation of an attentionally relevant electrophysiological index that is phase-locked to the respiratory cycle, potentially influencing the switching states of the attentional system.

Summary: Neurophysiological research on bilingualism has made great progress in understanding the bilingual brain. This study explored the oscillation and synchronization features of sentence-level interpreting and compared them with listening, speaking, and shadowing. The results suggest that interpreting involves different synchronization networks and a robust right frontotemporal gamma coactivation network, indicating language conversion process.

Summary: Mechanistic, stereochemical, and stereoelectronic factors of the asymmetric reduction for the production of N-benzyl-noradrenaline from the ketone precursor were studied through catalyst screening and computational evaluations. This reaction provides an efficient and industrially suitable method for manufacturing enantiomerically pure noradrenaline, an important neurotransmitter widely used as a pharmacological substance due to its sympathomimetic properties.

Summary: The study found that while alterations in theta and low beta power in FXS were similar between males and females, relative power varied by sex in the alpha, upper beta, gamma, and epsilon frequency bands. Additionally, Individual Alpha Peak Frequency (IAPF), which may capture atypicalities in neurodevelopmental disorders across the theta and alpha ranges, also varied by sex. Furthermore, performance on an auditory filtering task correlated with theta power in males, but not females with FXS.

Summary: The study aimed to test whether taVNS enhances pupil dilation and the effect of stimulation parameters on it. The results showed that stimulation settings can linearly increase pupil dilation, and the effect is stronger in the taVNS condition. In addition, taVNS elicited more intense and unpleasant sensations compared to sham stimulation.

Summary: The study found that in APP/PS1 mice, there was increased expression of inflammatory cytokines and microglial activation in the cortex, hippocampus, and spinal cord. Additionally, there was more evident loss of LC-NE neurons and fibers, as well as reduced NET expression, in the APP/PS1 mice compared to wild-type mice.

Summary: The study found that improving long-term memory abilities, especially for episodic and semantic memory, is possible through neurofeedback training. Results suggest that theta/low-beta NFB training can significantly enhance memory performance.

Summary: In the ventriloquist illusion, perceived sound shifts do not significantly alter the laterality of auditory responses, but a sustained reduction in mediofrontal theta-band power may indicate diminished cognitive control, leading to increased reliance on discriminable visual information and crossmodal influence. This suggests that mediofrontal theta-band oscillations serve as a neural mechanism for top-down modulation of crossmodal processing in the ventriloquist illusion.
