From channel mutation to neuropathy
Bend it, shape it, remember it Shape-memory alloys have the useful property of returning to their original shape after being greatly deformed. This process depends on the collective behavior of many small mineral grains in the metal. Using threedimensional x-ray diffraction, Sedmák et al. tracked over 15,000 grains in a nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy as it moved through this transformation,...
متن کاملTuning photochromic ion channel blockers.
Photochromic channel blockers provide a conceptually simple and convenient way to modulate neuronal activity with light. We have recently described a family of azobenzenes that function as tonic blockers of K(v) channels but require UV-A light to unblock and need to be actively switched by toggling between two different wavelengths. We now introduce red-shifted compounds that fully operate in t...
متن کاملFine Tuning Multi-Channel Compression Hearing Instruments
instruments are devices that provide independent non-linear signal processing in many discrete frequency regions. Multichannel capability allows wearers to understand speech better in certain noisy environments. For example, in pediatric fittings, it helps them to monitor their own voice and assists in their speech production. For the dispensing professional, the capabilities of multi-channel i...
متن کاملTuning parameters of metal ion implantation within a microfluidic channel
Applying electrical fields is a simple and versatile method to manipulate and reconfigure optofluidic devices. Several methods to apply electric fields using electrodes on polymers or in the context of lab-on-a-chip devices exist. In this paper, we utilize an ion-implanted process to pattern electrodes within a fluidic channel made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Electrode structuring within th...
متن کاملCovert attention enhances letter identification without affecting channel tuning.
Directing covert attention to the target location enhances sensitivity, but it is not clear how this enhancement comes about. Knowing that a single spatial frequency channel mediates letter identification, we use the critical-band-masking paradigm to investigate whether covert attention affects the spatial frequency tuning of that channel. We find that directing attention to the target location...
