EFR3A, an Intriguing Gene, and Protein with a Scaffolding Function by Magdalena Trybus, Anita Hryniewicz-Jankowska, Aleksander Czogalla, Aleksander F. Sikorski

“…EFR3s’ best-known molecular function is anchoring the giant phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase A complex to the plasma membrane crucial for cell signaling, also linked directly to the <i>KRAS</i> mutant oncogenic function. Another function connected to the newly uncovered interaction of EFR3A with flotillin-2 may be the participation of the former in the organization and regulation of the membrane raft domain. …”

Brain plasticity associated with prolonged shooting training: a multimodal neuroimaging investigation from a cross-sectional study by Keying Zhang, Tao Zhao, Yu Ding, Jia Cheng, Chunmei Cao

“…Male elite shooters also showed higher cortical thickness in the right inferior temporal lobe; lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the right superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFF), and right anterior thalamic radiation (ATR); lower axial diffusivity (AD) value in forceps minor and left ATR; and lower structural connectivity between right putamen and right inferior parietal cortex (IPC), right IPC and right paracentral cortex, and right paracentral cortex and right superior parietal cortex (SPC).ConclusionElite male shooters exhibited optimized resting-state functional activity, functional connectivity, and morphological features compared to normal controls. …”

Stage-specific functional networks associated with cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: a pilot fNIRS study by Jiarui Zhao, Yulai Gong, Zhenfang Lin, Jie Yang, Jiahuan Zou, Xia He, Yongsheng He

“…Increased activation in DLPFC was significantly correlated with poorer executive function outcomes. Functional connectivity analysis revealed that both PD-NC and PD-MCI groups had significantly enhanced interhemispheric connectivity compared to healthy controls, with pronounced interhemispheric connectivity in PD-MCI. …”
