NIRS-BIDS: Brain Imaging Data Structure Extended to Near-Infrared Spectroscopy by Robert Luke, Robert Oostenveld, Helena Cockx, Guiomar Niso, Maureen J Shader, Felipe Orihuela-Espina, Hamish Innes-Brown, Stephen Tucker, David Boas, Meryem A. Yücel, Remi Gau, Taylor Salo, Stefan Appelhoff, Christopher J. Markiewicz, David McAlpine, The BIDS Maintainers, Luca Pollonini

“…Abstract Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an increasingly popular neuroimaging technique that measures cortical hemodynamic activity in a non-invasive and portable fashion. Although the fNIRS community has been successful in disseminating open-source processing tools and a standard file format (SNIRF), reproducible research and sharing of fNIRS data amongst researchers has been hindered by a lack of standards and clarity over how study data should be organized and stored. …”

Artificial Visual System for Stereo-Orientation Recognition Based on Hubel-Wiesel Model by Bin Li, Yuki Todo, Zheng Tang

“…Notably, AVS enhanced the TransNeXt model in improving its overall performance from 73.1% to 97.2% on the 3D-MNIST dataset and from 56.1% to 86.4% on the 3D-Fashion-MNIST dataset. Our explanation for the generation of stereo-orientation selectivity offers a reliable, explainable, and robust approach for extracting spatial features and provides a straightforward modeling method for neural computation research.…”

Effects of Dual Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors α and γ Activation in Two Rat Models of Neuropathic Pain by Mohammad Alsalem, Mansour Haddad, Sara A. Aldossary, Heba Kalbouneh, Belal Azab, Aala Dweik, Amer Imraish, Khalid El-Salem

“…Preincubation of DRG neurones with tesaglitazar 6 hours prior to stimulation with capsaicin significantly reduce capsaicin-evoked cobalt responses in a PPARα and PPARγ dependent fashion (P<0.05). In conclusion, tesaglitazar produced significant analgesic effects in STZ and cisplatin-induced neuropathy, possibly by modulating TRPV1 receptor activity. …”

An Effective Sol-Gel-Functionalized Polyurethane Foams Solid Platform Packed Minicolumns for Complete Extraction of Chromium (VI) from Water: Kinetic, Sorption Isotherms, Thermodyn... by Effat A. Bahaidarah

“…The ΔS value (15.13 kJ·mol−1·K−1) reflects that the [CrO3Cl]−aq retention onto the sol-gel-treated PUFs sorbent proceeded in a more unplanned fashion. Sol-gel-treated PUFs sorbent-packed minicolumns were successfully used for the complete removal of trace levels of chromium (VI) species from water samples. …”

Effect of Platelet-activating Factor on in vitro and in vivo Interleukin-6 Production by B. Pignol, T. Maisonnet, P. Guinot, J. M. Mencia-Huertac, P. Braquet

“…At concentrations above 1 μM PAF, the production of IL-6 by mouse fibroblasts was enhanced in a dose dependent fashion. At 5 μM PAF, the peak increase (60.1 ± 19.4 U/ml) was similar to that induced by 50 μg/ml poly I–C (60.0 ± 35.0 U/ml) and higher than the one evoked by 100 U/ml IL-1β (3.8 ± 1.8 U/ml). …”
