Why morphology matters: the negative consequences of hasty descriptions of putative novelties in asexual ascomycetes by Ondřej Koukol, Gregorio Delgado

“…The examples outlined here clearly show the relevance of morphology in modern phylogenetic studies and the importance of more stringent ‘quality controls’ during biodiversity studies documenting the extensive fungal diversity in a speedy manner.…”

Dynamical control of topological unidirectional guided resonances via external magnetic field by Bao Jie Zheng, Wei Jie Shi, Hui Yuan Dong, Yong Tao Li, Jia Qi Li, Zheng-Gao Dong, Jin Wang

“…., photonic crystal slabs. Here, we theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate a scheme to break the reciprocity, and to generate and manipulate the unidirectional guided resonances (UGRs) in a one-dimensional magneto-optical (MO) grating, which radiate solely toward one side with no emission in the opposite direction. …”

Synaptic motility and functional stability in the whisker cortex by Nimrod Sherf, Maoz Shamir

“…The high motility of synaptic weights raises the question of how the brain can retain its functionality in the face of constant synaptic remodeling. Here we used the whisker system of rats and mice to study the interplay between synaptic plasticity (motility) and the transmission of sensory signals downstream. …”

The Role of the Anesthesiologist during Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Tremor: A Single-Center Experience by Alon Sinai, Yeshayahu Katz, Menashe Zaaroor, Olga Sandler, Ilana Schlesinger

“…The great advantage of MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is that the ablation is performed through an intact skull without surgery. Here, we review the new modality of MRgFUS for treating tremor and enlighten the role of the anesthesiologist in the unique procedural setting of the MRI suite. …”

Hemispatial Neglect Shows That “Before” Is “Left” by Mario Bonato, Arnaud Saj, Patrik Vuilleumier

“…Recent research has led to the hypothesis that events which unfold in time might be spatially represented in a left-to-right fashion, resembling writing direction. Here we studied fourteen right-hemisphere damaged patients, with or without neglect, a disorder of spatial awareness affecting contralesional (here left) space processing and representation. …”

A Comparison of Cholesterol Uptake and Storage in Inflammatory and Noninflammatory Breast Cancer Cells by Breonna J. Martin, Kenneth L. van Golen

“…These data suggest that cholesterol storage may be affected by the cholesterol content of the environment where the tumor cell was isolated. Here, we suggest that breast cancer cells may migrate when they are unable to obtain cholesterol from their extracellular environments.…”
