Effects of Increasing the Nitrogen–Phosphorus Ratio on the Structure and Function of the Soil Microbial Community in the Yellow River Delta by Jinzhao Ma, Zehao Zhang, Jingkuan Sun, Tian Li, Zhanyong Fu, Rui Hu, Yao Zhang

“…The response of the BS and the RS bacterial community to the N:P ratio differed, as influenced by soil organic carbon (SOC) content in terms of diversity, community composition, mutualistic networks, and functional composition. This study demonstrates that the effect of the N:P ratio on soil bacterial community is different for plant roots and emphasizes the role of plant roots in shaping soil bacterial community during environmental change.…”

The role of structural and functional parameters in designing pathology-specific tDCS protocols for primary progressive aphasia by Sagarika Bhattacharjee, P. T. Sivakumar, Ganesan Venkatasubramanian, Kenichi Oishi, Kyrana Tsapkini, S. H. Annabel Chen, Brenda Rapp, John E. Desmond, T. N. Sathyaprabha, Kaviraja Udupa, Rajan Kashyap

“…Abstract Background The two subtypes of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) associated with Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD)—non-fluent (nfvPPA) and semantic (svPPA)—have distinct structural and functional abnormalities. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targets the language network to address deficits, yet a single, arbitrary montage is often applied despite pathophysiological differences. …”
