Volumetric alterations in auditory and visual subcortical nuclei following perinatal deafness in felines by Alessandra Sacco, Stephen G. Gordon, Stephen G. Lomber

“…A mechanism that has been proposed to contribute to this plasticity involves adaptations within subcortical nuclei that trigger cascading effects throughout the brain. The current study uses 7T MRI to investigate the effect of perinatal deafness on the volumes of subcortical structures in felines, focusing on key sensory nuclei within the brainstem and thalamus. …”

Electrodeposition of nano- and micro-materials: Advancements in electrocatalysts for electrochemical applications by Mayra S. Tovar-Oliva, Ignacio Tudela

“…Commonly referred to as ‘electroplating’ in industrial settings, this method is extensively used for developing a wide range of electrocatalytic materials due to its simplicity, versatility, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency. Despite its widespread use and growing popularity for electrocatalyst fabrication, electrodeposition processes are often misunderstood, and many research studies have not fully leveraged their potential due to a lack of understanding and optimisation of key aspects of the process; consequently, researchers may miss straightforward opportunities to maximise the performance and functionality of electrodeposited electrocatalysts, as small variations in the electrodeposition process parameters can have significant effects on their activity, selectivity and lifespan. …”
