Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify cortical loci for lower limb movements and their efficacy for individuals after stroke by Choi, Minseok, Kim, Hyun-Chul, Youn, Inchan, Lee, Song Joo, Lee, Jong-Hwan

“…Background Identification of cortical loci for lower limb movements for stroke rehabilitation is crucial for better rehabilitation outcomes via noninvasive brain stimulation by targeting the fine-grained cortical loci of the movements. However, identification of the cortical loci for lower limb movements using functional MRI (fMRI) is challenging due to head motion and difficulty in isolating different types of movement. …”

Assessing the impact of anthropogenic pollution on isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosol formation in PM2.5 collected from the Birmingham, Alabama, ground site during the 2013... by Guo, Hongyu, Rattanavaraha, Weruka, Stone, Elizabeth A., Offenberg, John H., Zhang, Zhenfa, Gold, Avram, Surratt, Jason D., Chu, Kevin, Riva, Matthieu, Lin, Ying-Hsuan, Baumann, Karsten, Shaw, Stephanie L., Budisulistiorini, Sri Hapsari, Edgerton, Eric S., King, Laura, Weber, Rodney J., Neff, Miranda E.

“…In the southeastern US, substantial emissions of isoprene from deciduous trees undergo atmospheric oxidation to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that contributes to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Laboratory studies have revealed that anthropogenic pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and aerosol acidity, can enhance SOA formation from the hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation of isoprene; however, the mechanisms by which specific pollutants enhance isoprene SOA in ambient PM2.5 remain unclear. …”
