Affective touch enhances low gamma activity during hand proprioceptive perception in children with different neurodevelopmental conditions by Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, Álvaro Sabater-Gárriz, José Antonio Mingorance, José Antonio Mingorance, José Antonio Mingorance, Francesc Mestre-Sansó, Vicent Canals, Yannick Bleyenheuft, Pedro Montoya, Pedro Montoya, Inmaculada Riquelme, Inmaculada Riquelme, Inmaculada Riquelme

“…BackgroundGamma wave activity in the sensorimotor cortex is a critical neural mechanism associated with proprioceptive processing, which is essential for motor coordination, balance, and spatial orientation. The modulation of gamma oscillations by different types of tactile stimuli, including affective touch, is not well understood, particularly in children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder.AimsThis study aims to explore how affective touch influences gamma oscillatory activity and proprioceptive performance in children with typical development, cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorders.Methods and proceduresEEG data were recorded from participants during passive wrist mobilizations under three conditions: following an affective touch stimulus, after a non-affective touch stimulus, and with no tactile stimulation. …”

Corroborating the magnetic easy axis of epitaxial (100) α-iron and (0001) BaFe12O19 thin films by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy by Y. E. Li, J. Shine, C. Guguschev, M. Brützam, D. G. Schlom, N. Ravi

“…The conclusion that the magnetic moment in (0001)-oriented epitaxial BaFe12O19 film lies perpendicular to the plane of the substrate is deduced from the absence of the second and fifth lines by comparing the CEMS spectrum of the epitaxial (0001) BaFe12O19 film with the spectrum of a polycrystalline BaFe12O19 powder. …”

How bumblebees manage conflicting information seen on arrival and departure from flowers by Marie-Geneviève Guiraud, HaDi MaBouDi, Joe Woodgate, Olivia K. Bates, Oscar Ramos Rodriguez, Vince Gallo, Andrew B. Barron

“…Differences between the “switched” and “constant stimulus” groups were greater for bees trained on a horizontal CS + than a vertical CS + suggesting bees differ in their processing of vertically and horizontally oriented stimuli. We discuss how bumblebees might resolve this type of information conflict so effectively, drawing on the known neurobiology of their visual learning system.…”

Pakanta in the Lithuanian Worldview by Irena Smetonienė

“…Intolerance also has two sides: the positive one, as the inability to tolerate universal violations of order or various negative phenomena that may harm society or even the state; and the negative one, when it arises from envy and manifests itself as contempt for those who think differently, earn more, or have different orientations. Intolerance in the studied material further highlights the shades of pakanta. …”
