摘要:The human extrastriate visual cortex contains fine-scale columns selectively responsive to motion, disparity, and color. However, the developmental interplay between these functional modules remains poorly understood. Using high-resolution functional MRI, we compared the mesoscale organization of the extrastriate cortex in 16 individuals with normal vision and 15 participants with amblyopia (PwA) caused by strabismus (n = 8) or anisometropia (n = 7). In controls, the cortical territory occupie...

摘要:Synaptic transmission can be tuned through plasticity mechanisms that regulate synaptic strength, structure, and number. In vivo measurements demonstrate remarkable spine dynamics, with subsets of synapses persisting for months. This correlates with the longevity of certain memories, which can persist for an organism's lifetime. The molecular basis supporting the long-term stability of specific synapses and the long-term durability of memories remains unknown. At the protein level, most protei...

摘要:Nonfinancial factors play an important role in people's coverage decisions as premiums, cost sharing, and other factors that determine the financial value of health insurance cannot fully explain patterns in take-up rates. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is tasked with estimating the budgetary and coverage effects of policy and economic changes that affect health insurance markets, which includes considering the interactions between nonfinancial factors and policy design. The agency grou...

摘要:We propose an ac-driven atomic Josephson junction as a clean and tunable source of three-dimensional (3D) solitary waves in quantum fluids. Depending on the height of the junction barrier, the emitted excitations appear as vortex rings at low velocity or vorticity-free rarefaction pulses near the sound velocity, thus spanning the complete Jones-Roberts family of solitons. The Shapiro-step phenomenon renders the emission deterministic: on the first, second, third Shapiro steps, the junction eje...

摘要:In recent decades, the United States and several European countries have seen a plateau and reversal of the population-level gains in cognitive test scores that accumulated over the 20th century-the Flynn effect. We examined whether the Flynn effect and its reversal-declining mean scores across cohorts-differ by socioeconomic status, and whether changes in education can account for this. Using compulsory military conscription cognitive tests linked to administrative records with near-complete ...

摘要:Bacterial peptidoglycan fragments (PGNs) are pathogen-associated molecular patterns that activate the mammalian innate immune system, particularly through NOD2 signaling pathways. Since NOD2 is a cytosolic sensor in mammalian cells, cellular assays are commonly used to identify bioactive PGNs that elicit NOD2 response, with muramyl dipeptide (MDP) long recognized as the minimal NOD2 agonist. However, recent studies have highlighted the intracellular phosphorylation of MDP by mammalian N-acetyl...

摘要:Before entering the nucleus, the HIV capsid core [composed of capsid (CA) proteins] must translocate through the Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC). This process relies on direct interactions between CA and the phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeats in nucleoporins (NUPs) within the NPC. FG repeats are generally classified into three canonical motifs: FG, GLFG, and FxFG, which are differentially distributed along the NPC axis: FG and FxFG motifs are predominantly at the cytoplasmic periphery and in the nu...
