Summary: This study investigates the resistive switching characteristics, synaptic functions, and neuromorphic computing of memristors based on two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2 nanosheets. The results show that both digital and analog resistive switching behaviors can coexist in these memristors depending on the magnitude of operation voltage. Additionally, the artificial synapses based on these memristors exhibit basic synaptic functions and successfully emulate the learning-forgetting experience. Moreover, the artificial synapses can be used to construct an artificial neural network for image recognition.

Summary: A simple and facile method was developed to achieve controlled oxidation and enhance the surface area of MXene nanosheets for the efficient sensing of ascorbic acid (AA). The crumpled MXene showed anatase phase, porosity, and improved surface area, and was successfully used to determine AA with a linear concentration range of 300 μM to 0.005 μM and a detection limit (LOD) of 2 nM. The developed electrochemical sensor exhibited excellent reproducibility, a long shelf life, and satisfactory selectivity.

Summary: This study presents a novel MXene flexible memory device with substrate-free growth in ambient conditions, which has attracted interest in current innovation due to its high nonvolatile storage, light weight, smart, portable, and better functioned memories. The synthesis of MXene sheets was confirmed through surface morphology, elemental and structural analysis. X-ray diffraction, Raman, and FTIR spectra showed the presence of TiO2 inside FE-Ti3C2Tx MXene, which contributed toward the ferroelectric behavior of MXene.

Summary: Kainate receptors (KARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that play important physiological roles in neuronal circuits, regulating EPSCs as post-synaptic receptors and controlling ion channels through non-canonical metabotropic actions. KARs, activated by endogenous glutamate, modulate neuronal circuit activity and plasticity under normal physiological conditions.

Summary: The complex morphology of neurons presents a challenge for proteostasis, but recent studies have shown that mature lysosomes can be found in dendrites and release their content through fusion with the plasma membrane. These dendritic lysosomes are heterogeneous in composition and only those containing LAMP2A and LAMP2B exhibit activity-dependent motility. They dock near NMDAR receptors via an association with SAP102/Dlg3, and NMDAR activation decreases lysosome motility and promotes fusion with the membrane. Chaperone-mediated autophagy supplies content that is released through lysosome exocytosis, enabling local disposal of aggregation-prone proteins.

Summary: A novel complex neuro-glandular brain structure associated with sensory elements has been discovered in the plerocercoid parasite of Gadus morua from the White Sea. This structure, consisting of both nervous and glandular elements, is suggested as a model for the Diphyllobothriidae family. Significant differences in the architecture of the plerocercoid brain at the family level have been observed within the order Diphyllobothriidea. Serotonin, FMRFamide, and GABA-like immunoreactive neurons are present in various parts of the parasite.

Summary: This study demonstrates that neurons differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells provide a robust model for studying the formation of cofilactin rods. The formation of rods in response to disease-associated factors like A beta depends on a pathway involving cellular prion protein, NADPH oxidase, and cytokine/chemokine receptors. The absence of glia allows for easier observation of rods, revealing that neurons mature and fire action potentials without forming functional synapses. These findings are important for understanding and developing treatments for dementias caused by various proteinopathies.

Summary: In this work, a machine-learning-algorithm-based data analyzing method is developed for flexible electrolyte-gated graphene field effect transistors (Eg-GFETs) to address the bias-voltage-induced uncertainties. Ca2+ detection is used as a proof-of-concept. Eight regression models are trained with different machine learning algorithms, and the optimized model is obtained. The proposed method accurately determines Ca2+ concentration in a calibration-free way and simplifies the traditional calibration step in using Eg-GFET sensors.
