REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep stages contribute to systems memory consolidation in hippocampal-cortical circuits. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying REM memory processes remain relatively unclear compared to NREM memory reactivation. Here we report, in rodents, the existence of…

The timing of functional hypothalamic responsiveness during embryogenesis remains incompletely defined. We examined hypothalamic activation in chicken embryos from embryonic day (ED) 12-17 following experimental stimulation consisting of a localized foot injection of paraformaldehyde (PFA) together with the associated…

The rapid digitalisation of design education has fundamentally altered how students collaborate; however, the cognitive and neurophysiological dynamics underlying online creative co-creation remain poorly understood. To address this, we conducted an exploratory pilot study (N = 11 dyads) employing a multimodal paradigm…

We investigate the mechanical principles underlying fruiting body morphogenesis in Dictyostelium discoideum. Quantitative shape analysis based on the Young–Laplace law, together with AFM indentation measurements, indicate surface tension as the dominant tissue-scale force acting on the culminating fruiting body. Based…

Sleep spindles are fundamental for plasticity and memory consolidation. Here we sought to target different spindle states in sleeping healthy participants with real-time EEG-burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at hippocampal ripple frequency, and test the spindle state-dependent induction of…

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have attracted increasing attention owing to their superior mechanical robustness, morphological stability, and solution-processability. However, intricate intermolecular interactions hinder the precise regulation of donor-acceptor miscibility and phase separation, thereby restricting…

Memory consolidation during sleep depends on the precisely timed coordination of hippocampal reactivation with cortical slow oscillations and spindles. In humans this coupling has been characterised correlationally, while causal investigations have required intracranial stimulation in restricted patient cohorts or used…
