Summary: During sleep, coordinated neuronal oscillations across different brain regions support various physiological functions. This study investigated the coordination between the cerebellum and hippocampus during sleep in mice. The results showed sleep stage-specific coordination of oscillations between these two structures, as well as the modulation of hippocampal activity by cerebellar oscillations. These findings suggest multiple physiological mechanisms that support offline, bidirectional interaction within distributed cerebello-hippocampal networks.

Summary: Allonursing and allosuckling are behaviors displayed by some females, characterized by nursing and feeding non-filial offspring. While they can bring benefits, they can also pose health risks and pathogen transmission. Establishing a close bond between dams and newborns is essential for providing protection and nutrition, but these behaviors may have implications on animal welfare.

Summary: This article discusses key elementary surface-reaction processes in state-of-the-art plasma etching and deposition relevant to nanoelectronic device fabrication. It provides a concise guide to the forefront of research on plasma-enhanced atomic layer etching (PE-ALE) and plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD). The article reviews the basics of reactive ion etching (RIE) and high-aspect-ratio (HAR) etching, and elaborates on the methods of PE-ALE and PE-ALD as surface-controlled processing. It also explores the surface reaction mechanisms of PE-ALE and PE-ALD and the roles played by incident ions and radicals in their reactions.

Summary: The physiological responses of Araucaria araucana seedlings under water stress conditions showed that moderate stress can activate mechanisms allowing them to withstand short-term droughts, while severe stress can cause severe harm. Effects included reduced leaf water content, accumulation of free proline, increased epicuticular wax extrusions, decreased photosynthetic pigments, and differential oxidative damage. Plants under water restrictions also showed changes in biomass, stem wood density, and mortality rates.

Summary: Plant growth in heterogeneous salinity soil is better than in uniform salinity soil, making salt tolerant plants a cost-effective option for re-vegetation in saline lands. Swamp rose mallow seedlings showed improved growth and physiological responses in non-uniform salinity conditions, with lower leaf Na+ and Cl- contents and higher water consumption compared to uniform salinity. This suggests that partial desalination of soil can alleviate salt stress in plants like SRM.

Summary: This study conducted a field trial to evaluate the physiological responses and tolerance of jojoba plants to salinity stress, focusing on the role of proline as a foliar application. The results showed that proline at 450 ppm enhanced the growth and physiological characteristics of jojoba plants, as well as promoted the antioxidant system. The anatomical structure of leaves also exhibited favorable variations. These findings suggest that proline foliar application can improve the physicochemical and morphological characteristics of jojoba plants under salinity stress.

Summary: Abiotic stresses can have complex and diverse effects on the growth and development of forest trees. Woody plants show various responses in terms of morphological, physiological, and anatomical traits, such as changes in xylem hydraulic conductivity, root and leaf morphology, and anatomical features. Different abiotic stresses also have unique effects, such as the formation of adventitious roots and aeration tissues under flood stress, irreversible xylem damage caused by forest fires, tissue freezing under low temperature stress, hinderance of ion absorption under salt stress, and biological toxicity induced by heavy metals. Additionally, the effects of combined stress on woody plants are not simply additive, and further studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms, especially in natural or near-natural conditions.

Summary: The development of technology has led to the emergence of artificial erotic agents, erobots, sparking discussions and debates on their risks and benefits. Current research tends to focus on exploring the risks and benefits of erobots while overlooking the unpredictable interactions between humans and machines and the influence of socio-cultural processes on technological development.

Summary: Chemotherapy can lead to a wide range of cognitive deficits, including memory loss associated with hippocampal dysfunction, by reducing rates of hippocampal neurogenesis and impairing performance on hippocampally-mediated learning and memory tasks. Factors such as physical exercise and environmental stimulation may protect against chemotherapy-induced neurogenic suppression and hippocampal neurotoxicity. Pharmacological interventions targeting the hippocampus are being reviewed to prevent or reduce the cognitive and neurotoxic side effects of chemotherapy.

Summary: This study observed the growth habit of 'Tuershao' chayote root tuber and found that the tuber enlargement period lasts about 120 days, with different phases of early enlargement, rapid enlargement, and maturation. The starch content gradually increased during tuber development, and the activities of sucrose synthase and invertase were highest during the rapid expansion phase. The unique petal-like structure formed by the secondary phloem and secondary xylem facilitated tuber enlargement and starch accumulation.

Summary: This study investigated the anatomical differences and abiotic stress responses in 'Nichinan 1 gou' satsuma mandarin according to the severity of sunburn damage. Anatomical observations showed that with increased severity of symptoms, the damage to fruit rind surface and oil glands was increased. Analysis of peel pigments revealed changes in chlorophyll, carotenoid, and flavonoid content with sunburn severity. The fruit quality analysis showed significant differences in several parameters between sunburned and non-sunburned fruits. Heat tolerance tests confirmed rind damage at temperatures above 47°C.

Summary: Elevated APP levels in the choroid plexus impact proliferation in neurogenic niches and long-term expression of mutated APP in the choroid plexus leads to reduced hippocampus function and behavioral deficits. Targeting APP in the choroid plexus may provide a means to improve brain function and alleviate disease-related burdens.

Summary: This review focuses on the functional and anatomical links between the cerebellum and the hippocampus and their role in goal-directed navigation and spatial cognition. The interactions between these two structures are explored at different scales, including macroscopic, mesoscopic, and cellular levels. The different anatomical pathways that may support this multiscale interaction are summarized.
