Interface Acoustic Waves in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/Overcoat Structures by Cinzia Caliendo, Massimiliano Benetti, Domenico Cannatà, Farouk Laidoudi, Gaetana Petrone

“…Numerical analysis results showed the following: (i) an overcoat faster than the piezoelectric half-space ensures that the wave propagation is confined mainly close to the surface of the LiNbO₃, although with minimal scattering in the overcoat; (ii) the presence of the SU-8, in addition to performing the essential function of an adhesive layer, can also promote the trapping of the acoustic energy toward the surface of the piezoelectric substrate; and (iii) the electromechanical coupling efficiency of the IAW is very close to that of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) along the bare LiNbO₃ half-space. …”

The immediate alteration of cerebellar Glx/GABA and cerebello-thalamo-cortical connectivity in patients with schizophrenia after cerebellar TMS by Chenyang Yao, Youjin Zhao, Qian Zhang, Ziyuan Zhao, Kai Ai, Bo Zhang, Su Lui

“…Our findings demonstrate that aberrant cerebellar GABA levels contribute to CTC hyperconnectivity in schizophrenia. Additionally, our study shows that cerebellar TMS can increase Glx levels in schizophrenia patients, leading to the normalization of the Glx/GABA ratio, which may contribute to the therapeutic effects of TMS in schizophrenia.…”
