Shaping the Cortical Landscape: Functions and Mechanisms of Top-Down Cortical Feedback Pathways by Edward Zagha

“…We propose that the cortical landscape, analogous to energy landscapes in physics and chemistry, can capture important features of signal routing including coupling strength, trigger conditions, and preparatory states. By resolving the cortical landscape, we may be able to quantify how the cellular processes of cortical feedback ultimately shape cognition and behavior.…”

Gaseous elemental and reactive mercury in Southern New Hampshire by J. M. Sigler, H. Mao, R. Talbot

“…Seasonal variation in both species observed at TF and PM is attributable to such factors as seasonal variation in deposition strength, meteorological conditions and biogenic emissions. Hg<sup>0</sup> and RGM varied diurnally at TF, particularly in spring, following the trend in air temperature and <i>j</i>NO<sub>2</sub> and suggesting photochemical production of RGM. …”

Physicochemical Factors Influencing the Preferential Transport of Escherichia coli in Soils by Yusong Wang, Scott A. Bradford, Jiří Šimůnek

“…Laboratory and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the transport and release of Escherichia coli D21g in preferential flow systems with artificial macropores under different ionic strength (IS) conditions. Macropores were created by embedding coarse sand lenses in a fine sand matrix and altering the length, continuity, and vertical position of the lens. …”

Co-constructing food access issues: Older adults in a rural food environment in West Virginia develop a photonarrative by Lauri Andress, Sunah S. Hallie

“…Conclusions: Public health practitioners and the elderly should benefit from community-based participatory research (CBPR) where photovoice enables an external research team to open up a conversation where community members may explore and co-create an understanding of person-place dynamics, environmental strengths, complex conditions, and policies that influence the lives of the community.…”

Age-Related Alterations at Neuromuscular Junction: Role of Oxidative Stress and Epigenetic Modifications by Gabriella Dobrowolny, Alessandra Barbiera, Gigliola Sica, Bianca Maria Scicchitano

“…The effect of this decline is an inexorable decrease in skeletal muscle mass and strength, a condition generally known as sarcopenia. Moreover, several studies have highlighted how the age-related alteration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis can contribute to changes in the neuromuscular junction morphology and stability, leading to the reduction in fiber number and innervation. …”
