Effects of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Facial Emotion Recognition in Parkinson’s Disease: A Critical Literature Review by S. Kalampokini, E. Lyros, P. Lochner, K. Fassbender, M. M. Unger

“…FER worsening after STN DBS can be attributed to the functional role of the STN in limbic circuits and the interference of STN stimulation with neural networks involved in FER, including the connections of the STN with the limbic part of the basal ganglia and pre- and frontal areas. These outcomes improve our understanding of the role of the STN in the integration of motor, cognitive, and emotional aspects of behaviour in the growing field of affective neuroscience. …”

The effect of space flight on genes expression in brain by A. S. Tsybko, T. V. Ilchibaeva, N. K. Popova

“…We have for the first time revealed dopamine and serotonin microgravityresponsive genes (tyrosine hydroxylase, catechol-Omethyltransferase, and D1 receptor in the nigrostriatal system; D1 and 5-HT2A receptors in the hypothalamus; and monoamine oxidase A in the frontal cortex). Decreased genetic control of the dopamine system may contribute to the spaceflight-induced locomotor impairment and dyskinesia described for both animals and humans. …”

Characteristics of dynamic thickness change across diverse outlet glacier geometries and basal conditions by Donglai Yang, Kristin Poinar, Sophie Nowicki, Beata Csatho

“…We test how changes in ice overburden pressure and basal lubrication affect diffusive thinning rates and their spatial patterns by conducting numerical experiments over various idealized Greenland-like glacier domains. We find that ~10 km frontal retreat over a decade can produce sustained thinning rates as large as 16 m a−1 due to ice overburden pressure changes, at outlet glaciers with high basal drag (>60 kPa) and lateral resistive stress (>70 kPa). …”

Safety Assessment of Ship Collision with Piers under the Protection of Anti-Collision Floating Box Based on BIM Technology by Ying-hao Chen, Cheng Liu, Xue-feng Zhao, Fa-xiong Li

“…The safety assessment analysis of the pier under the protection of the anti-collision pontoon on the pier under various working conditions shows that the anti-collision pontoon effectively reduces the hazard of the ship colliding with the pier, and the impact force gradually increases with the change from the oblique collision to the frontal collision. The peak impact force increases with the weight of the ship and shows a nonlinear relationship, such that the peak value of impact force increases with the speed increase, and the speed and the peak values of impact force show basically a linear relationship.…”

“…Experimentally bred mice suffer excitatory dendritic spine attrition, as well as changes in inhibitory synapse-associated proteins, GAD67/GAD1 and SLITRK3, largely in the anterior and not posterior OFC (or medial frontal cortex). They also display higher levels of the excitatory synaptic marker striatin in the nucleus accumbens and lower levels of the excitatory synaptic marker SAPAP3 in the dorsal striatum, striatal nuclei that receive input from the anterior OFC. …”
