Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a targeted manipulation of brain circuitry to treat neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. Optimal DBS lead placement is essential for treatment efficacy. Current targeting practice is based on preoperative and intraoperative brain imaging, intraoperative electrophysiology, and stimulation mapping. Electrophysiological mapping using extracellular microelectrode recordings aids in identifying functional subdomains, anatomical boundaries, and disease-correlated physiology. The shape of single-unit action potentials may differ due to different biophysical properties between cell-types and brain regions. Here, we describe a technique to parameterize the structure and duration of sorted spike units using a novel algorithmic approach based on canonical response parameterization, and illustrate how it may be used on DBS microelectrode recordings. Isolated spike shapes are parameterized then compared using a spike similarity metric and grouped by hierarchical clustering. When spike morphology is associated with anatomy, we find regional clustering in the human globus pallidus. This method is widely applicable for spike removal and single-unit characterization and could be integrated into intraoperative array-based technologies to enhance targeting and clinical outcomes in DBS lead placement.

Effects of shock on perceptual learning in a virtual reality environment
This study investigates two aspects of visual processing and perceptual learning: the impact of training on the human visual system's ability to integrate information across the visual field and the influence of aversive electrodermal stimulation on perceptual performance in an orientation averaging task. Through a ten-day training regimen that manipulated the set-size of Gabor element arrays, we ...

A Shared Neural Network for Highly Liked and Disliked Music
Music research has increasingly focused on neural responses to naturalistic stimuli. The neural correlates of music-induced peak moments of pleasure (e.g., chills) have been well-studied; data on other types of aesthetic responses, such as judgments of beauty, goodness, or liking are sparse. Among these, liking is of particular interest given its complex nature and its ubiquity in everyday and mus...

Doctoral Students as Carbon Accountants: Calculating Carbon Costs of a PhD in Neuroscience
PhD students are drivers of innovation in research; however, the carbon intensity of PhD work is often unclear, especially in specialised STEM disciplines. Empowering PhD students to engage in carbon accounting could provide a powerful force for decarbonization in key areas of production and consumption in research communities. Here, we present a comprehensive life-cycle assessment for PhD work in...

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Sudanese Candida parapsilosis: A Sustainable Approach to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat, particularly in Sudan, where the overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. Traditional methods to address AMR often fail to provide sustainable solutions. Nanotechnology offers promising alternatives, with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) demonstrating broad-...

Muscle Cathepsin B treatment improves behavioral and neurogenic deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease
Muscle secretes factors during exercise that enhance cognition. Myokine Cathepsin B (Ctsb) is linked to memory function, but its role in neurodegenerative disease is unclear. Here we show that AAV-vector-mediated Ctsb overexpression in skeletal muscle in an Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mouse model (APP/PS1), improves motor coordination, memory function and adult hippocampal neurogenesis, while plaque ...

Perinatal circadian desynchronization disrupts sleep and prefrontal cortex function in adult offspring
Sleep and circadian (daily) rhythms impact nearly all aspects of physiology and are critical for optimal organismal function. Disruption of the clock can lead to significant metabolic disorders, neuropsychiatric illness, and cognitive dysfunction. Our lab has previously shown that environmental circadian desynchronization (ECD) in adults alters the anatomical structure and neurophysiological funct...

An Event-Related Potential Study of Onset Primacy in Visual Change Detection
Onset primacy is a behavioural phenomenon whereby humans identify the appearance of an object (onset) with greater efficiency than other kinds of visual change, such as the disappearance of an object (offset). The default mode hypothesis explains this phenomenon by postulating that the attentional system is optimised for onset detection in its initial state. The present study extended this hypothe...

Single-cell spatial transcriptome reveals pathological features of human hippocampus with sclerosis
More than half of epileptic patients ultimately turned to intractable epilepsy. Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS), the most common type of intractable epilepsies, whose pathological mechanism remains elusive. Here, using 42 human hippocampal samples from surgical donors of MTLE (32 with and 10 without HS) through single-cell resolution Stereo-seq and histologcial e...

Guess Who? Identifying individuals from their brain natural frequency fingerprints
Neural oscillations are critical for brain function and cognition. Thus, identifying the typical or natural oscillatory frequencies of the brain is an important first step for understanding its functional architecture. Recently, a data-driven algorithm has been developed for mapping the brain's natural frequencies throughout the whole cortex, free of anatomical and frequency-band constraints. Howe...

Network neuroscience has proven essential for understanding the principles and mechanisms underlying complex brain (dys)function and cognition. In this context, whole-brain network modeling--also known as virtual brain modeling--combines computational models of brain dynamics (placed at each network node) with individual brain imaging data (to coordinate and connect the nodes), advancing our under...
