Cerebrocortical injuries such as stroke are a major source of disability. Maladaptive consequences can result from post-injury local reorganization of cortical circuits. For example, epilepsy is a ...

A reentry arrhythmia is an abnormality in your heart’s rhythm in which electrical impulses in your heart stray from their usual path and form a closed-loop circuit. Treatment can usually resolve these ...

On-demand expression of a gene that inhibits neuronal activity provides a way to reduce spontaneous seizures in mice, researchers report. In a new study, Yichen Qiu and colleagues present a ...

Amplifying the small signals produced by sensors in a low-noise circuit is a very common but difficult problem. Designers will often use an operational amplifier (op amp) with bipolar inputs to ...

Open cooling towers expose process cooling water to the atmosphere, typically as part of a chiller system loop (see Figure 1). These open towers use an efficient, simple, and economical design. All ...

A University of Pittsburgh-led neurobiological expedition to explore a little-known brain region could show the way to new therapies for Parkinson’s disease. The inter-institutional team, funded by a ...

As the name implies, if we finally put together all the elementary blocks above (transistors, current mirrors, current sources, differential stages and buffers) we finally come to something usable, ...

Spending more time in glucose range could help reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes, but available closed-loop insulin delivery systems are not customized to pregnancy-specific needs. In a randomized ...

Cell-free expression (CFE) systems are a staple of biomanufacturing, but their variability–even when identical protocols are followed–can affect qualitative assessments of genetic components. The ...
