Fast-Read Storage Performance by Thyristor Operation in 3-D Flash Memory by Tomoya Sanuki, Hideto Horii, Takashi Maeda

“…In order to evaluate the advantages of thyristor operation in 3D flash memory further, we report for the first time the several cell characteristics and reliability issues of thyristor operation required for the actual usage of storage products. (1) We demonstrate excellent cell characteristics of a wide programmed Vth window and sufficient program slope values in thyristor operation, which are indispensable for realizing multi-level cells. (2) Cell characteristics of thyristor operation exhibit hysteresis when sweeping in the WL direction but not in the bit line (BL) direction, which is essential for determining the read operating waveform. (3) Our proposed new WL biasing scheme to suppress the cell-to-cell interference effect is described with a more detailed dependence on adjacent cells and its effect on the on-current. We show that a high on-current can still be achieved even with highly stacked WL of approximately 100 layers. (4) In terms of reliability issues, thyristor operation exhibits a sufficient margin against read cycle stress with minimal change in the cell Vth even after 2 million read cycles. …”

Chronic Mild Stress Modulates Activity-Dependent Transcription of BDNF in Rat Hippocampal Slices by Raffaella Molteni, Andrea C. Rossetti, Elisa Savino, Giorgio Racagni, Francesca Calabrese

“…Although activity-dependent transcription represents a crucial mechanism for long-lasting experience-dependent changes in the hippocampus, limited data exist on its contribution to pathological conditions. We aim to investigate the influence of chronic stress on the activity-dependent transcription of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). …”
