Parabrachial CGRP neurons modulate active defensive behavior under a naturalistic threat by Gyeong Hee Pyeon, Hyewon Cho, Byung Min Chung, June-Seek Choi, Yong Sang Jo

“…Our electrophysiological results revealed that CGRP neurons encode the intensity of aversive stimuli through variations in firing durations and amplitudes. Optogenetic activation of CGRP neurons during robot chasing elevated flight responses in both conditioning and retention tests, presumably by amplifying the perception of the threat as more imminent and dangerous. …”

Investigation of electrical properties and PTCR effect in double-donor doping BaTiO3 lead-free ceramics by Chen Xiaoming, Li Yini, Zeng Sikang, Cheng Xuxin, Zhang Wei, Wang Yuxin

“…The BBNTx ceramics were prepared using the double donor dopant under firing at 1,350°C for 120 min in the air. The findings exhibited that when the Y3+ concentration elevates, the room-temperature resistivity of 99%(Ba1−y Yy)(Ti1.011−z Nb0.001Mnz)O3 – 1%(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BBNT1) samples initially falls and subsequently elevates. …”

Neural Mass Modeling in the Cortical Motor Area and the Mechanism of Alpha Rhythm Changes by Yuanyuan Zhang, Zhaoying Li, Hang Xu, Ziang Song, Ping Xie, Penghu Wei, Guoguang Zhao

“…The findings suggest that increasing grip force activates more motor neurons in the motor cortex and raises their firing rate. Neural mass modeling provides a computational neuroscience approach to understanding the dynamic changes in alpha rhythms in the motor cortex under different grip force levels.…”
