Melanin-concentrating hormone-producing neurons (MCH neurons), found mainly in the lateral hypothalamus and surrounding areas, play essential roles in various brain functions, including sleep and wakefulness, reward, metabolism, learning, a...
Limited waterpower contributed to rise of steam power in British "Cottonopolis" [0.03%]
水资源匮乏促成了英国“棉花之城”蒸汽动力的兴起

The Industrial Revolution precipitated a pivotal shift from waterpower to coal-fueled steam power in British textile mills. Although it is now widely accepted that steam was chosen to power factories despite the availability of sufficient w...
Selectivity filter mutations shift ion permeation mechanism in potassium channels [0.03%]
选择性过滤器突变改变钾通道离子渗透机制

Potassium (K+) channels combine high conductance with high ion selectivity. To explain this efficiency, two molecular mechanisms have been proposed. The "direct knock-on" mechanism is defined by water-free K+ permeation and formation of dir...
People believe political opponents accept blatant moral wrongs, fueling partisan divides [0.03%]
认为政治对手接受明目张胆的道德错误会导致党派分歧

Efforts to bridge political divides often focus on navigating complex and divisive issues, but eight studies reveal that we should also focus on a more basic misperception: that political opponents are willing to accept basic moral wrongs. ...
Perils and opportunities in using large language models in psychological research [0.03%]
在心理研究中使用大型语言模型的风险与机遇

Suhaib Abdurahman et al.
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has sparked considerable interest in their potential application in psychological research, mainly as a model of the human psyche or as a general text-analysis tool. However, the trend of using ...
Language models, like humans, show content effects on reasoning tasks [0.03%]
语言模型(如人类一样)会在推理任务中表现出内容效应

To what extent are naturally evolving systems limited in their potential diversity (i.e. "bounded") versus unrestricted ("open-ended")? Minerals provide a quantitative model evolving system, with well-documented increases in mineral diversi...
Dynamics of nanocluster aerosol in the indoor atmosphere during gas cooking [0.03%]

Nanocluster aerosol (NCA: particles in the size range of 1-3 nm) are a critically important, yet understudied, class of atmospheric aerosol particles. NCA efficiently deposit in the human respiratory system and can translocate to vital orga...
A mechanohydraulic model supports a role for plasmodesmata in cotton fiber elongation [0.03%]
机械液压模型支持棉纤维伸长中胞间连丝的作用

Plant cell growth depends on turgor pressure, the cell hydrodynamic pressure, which drives expansion of the extracellular matrix (the cell wall). Turgor pressure regulation depends on several physical, chemical, and biological factors, incl...
Safe and effective degradation of aflatoxins by food-grade culture broth of Aspergillus oryzae [0.03%]
利用米曲霉食品级发酵液无害降解黄曲霉素
