Abstract Understanding the neural basis of speech perception requires that we study human brain both at scale fundamental computational unit neurons and in their organization across depth cortex. Here used high-density Neuropixels arrays 1–3 to record from 685 cortical layers nine sites a high-level auditory region is critical for speech, superior temporal gyrus 4,5 , while participants listened spoken sentences. Single encoded wide range sound cues, including features consonants vowels,...
Dendrite development of newborn granule cells (GCs) in the dentate gyrus adult hippocampus is critical for their incorporation into existing hippocampal circuits, but cellular mechanisms regulating dendrite remains largely unclear. In this study, we examined function brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which expressed adult-born GCs, morphogenesis. Using retrovirus-mediated gene transfection, found that deletion and overexpression BDNF GCs resulted reduction elevation growth,...
Timing has been proposed as a basic function of the cerebellar cortex (particularly climbing fiber afferents and their sole source, inferior olive) that explains contribution cerebellum to both motor control nonmotor cognitive functions. However, whether olivo-cerebellar system mediates time perception without behavior remains controversial. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging dissociate neural correlates perceptual from aspects timing. The results show activation...
Speech perception and production are interconnected processes, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated this relationship by recording large-scale single-neuron activity in human brain during a delayed sentence repetition task. Contrary to traditional view that precentral gyrus is solely responsible for motor execution, we found neurons there encoded across all task phases of listening, delay, initiation, speaking. Notably, discovered "mirror" activated...
This study investigates the impact of spatial changes over a 400-year period on summer microclimate residential courtyard in China. Using ENVI-met simulations, we analyze how factors such as orientation, building height, and opening positions affect thermal environment. The results show that east–west-oriented courtyards experienced 0.2–0.4 °C lower daytime temperatures compared to north–south ones. Additionally, taller surrounding buildings increased courtyard’s average temperature by...
Abstract Substantial epidemiological evidence suggests a significant correlation between particulate matter 2.5 (PM ) and lung cancer. However, the mechanism underlying this association needs to be further elucidated. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as an important topic in field of epigenetics are involved various cancers. This study aimed explore molecular basis PM ‐induced cancer from epigenetic perspective identify potential biomarkers. Initially, construction chronic exposure...
Amidst global warming and energy crises, low-carbon building design is essential. China, the largest carbon emitter, commits to peaking emissions by 2030 achieving neutrality 2060. This study focuses on strategies for industrial buildings in cold regions, aiming develop optimization designs centered emissions. Using ENERGYPLUS “standard coal method”, it quantifies operational analyzes impact of methods consumption across architectural layout, materials, photovoltaic technology. study, set...
Abstract The left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) is known to be associated with volition and motor function, but often overlooked in models of the neural bases language. In this retrospective study, we reveal a robust statistical association between rare language profile disproportionately affecting self-generated, not externally cued, production damage dmPFC large (n = 307) neurosurgical database using both voxel-based multivariate lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM, MLSM). This was...
Brain activation underlying language processing in Chinese–English bilinguals was examined using fMRI an orthographic search and a semantic classification task. In both tasks, brain areas activated by Chinese characters English words were very similar to tasks examining reading pinyin (an alphabetic script) characters. However, the degree of later-alization different, with (second language) causing much more right hemisphere than (native language). These differences support hypothesis that...
Economic development limits the living quality of rural residents. In particular, residential buildings in northern China generally have poor thermal comfort winter, which affects physical and mental health Because separation rooms, residents who live cave dwellings often to enter leave rooms course their daily lives, leads worse feelings winter. low price wind insulation heat storage, sunrooms are widely used renovations houses. The traditional purpose addition a sunroom is provide buffer...
The brain receives constant tactile input, but only a subset guides ongoing behavior. Actions associated with stimuli thus endow them behavioral relevance. It remains unclear how the relevance of affects processing in somatosensory (S1) cortex. We developed cross-modal selection task which head-fixed mice switched between responding to presence visual distractors or using licking movements left right side different blocks trials. S1 spiking encoded stimuli, actions, and direction response...
Haptic perception synthesizes touch with proprioception, the sense of body position. Humans and mice alike experience rich active face. Because most facial muscles lack proprioceptor endings, sensory basis proprioception remains unsolved. Facial may instead rely on mechanoreceptors that encode both self-motion. In rodents, whisker provide a signal informs brain about Whisking involves coordinated orofacial movements, so innervating regions other than whiskers could also information whisking....
Hemocytes play unequivocally central roles in host immune defense of bivalve mollusks, though the exact mechanisms underlying their functional differentiation are only partially understood. To this end, granulocytes and hyalinocytes were sorted via flow cytometry from hemocytes Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, consequently quantitative transcriptomic analysis revealed a striking array deferentially expressed genes (DEGs), which globally upregulated granulocytes, dedicating to among...
