Olfactory dysfunction can provide valuable insight into early pathophysiological processes of brain disorders. Olfactory processing of chemosensory and odour sensitivity relies on segregating salient odours from background odours cues. Odour-evoked fast oscillations in the olfactory bulb (OB) are hypothesized to be an important index of odour quality coding. The present preclinical work aimed at better understanding connectivity associated with odour coding and behavioural odour discrimination. Network oscillations and functional connectivity (FC) were measured in C57BL/6 mice performing the olfactory associative odour learning (OL) test, using multichannel local field potential recordings in key olfactory networks. Cholinergic modulation of odour processing was investigated using the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine. At the behavioural level, olfactory memory, which refers to the acquisition and recollection of a reference odour by reduced exploration time, was observed in animals that correctly learnole of muscarinic receptors in olfactory retrieval processing.All-inorganic cesium lead bromine (CsPbBr3) perovskites quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most photoelectric materials due to their high absorption coefficient, pronounced quantum-size effect, tunable optical property. Here, a self-powered PD based on all-inorganic CsPbBr3perovskites QDs is fabricated and demonstrated. The light-induced pyroelectric effect is utilized to modulate the optoelectronic processes without the external power supply. The working mechanism of the PD is carefully investigated upon 532 nm laser illumination and the minimum recognizable response time of the self-powered PD is 1.5μs, which are faster than those of most previously reported wurtzite nanostructure PDs. Meanwhile, the frequency and temperature independence of the self-powered PD are experimented and summarized. The self-powered PD with high performance is expected to have extensive applications in solar cell, energy harvesting, resistive random access memory.High resolution and high intensity neutron powder diffraction are used to determine the temperature dependence of the crystallographic and magnetic structure of the orthoferrite CeFeO3. The high temperatureG x -type magnetic coupling of the Fe-sublattice described by the Γ4(G x A y F z ) irreducible representation changes at the spin reorientation temperatureTSR= 228 K to aG y -type coupling of Γ1(A x G y C z ). The spin reorientation is of first order and sees a hysteresis of about 2.5 K atTSR. Below 35 K faint magnetic peaks reflectingC z type magnetic coupling appear and are argued to be related to the Ce-sublattice. Magnetic moments at 2 K amount toμFe= 4.15 μBandμCe= 0.11 μB. CeFeO3is only the secondRFeO3compound after DyFeO3showing this ground state magnetic structure of the Fe-sublattice. The orthorhombic structurePbnmis kept over the whole temperature range.Spin lattice relaxation rate is investigated for 3D tilted cone Weyl semimetals (TCWSMs). The nuclear spin relaxation rate is presented as a function of temperature and tilt parameter. We find that the relaxation rate behaves as(1-ζ2)-αwithα≈ 9 where 0 ⩽ζ less then 1 is the tilt parameter. We demonstrate that such a strong enhancement forζ≲ 1 that gives rise to very fast relaxation rates, is contributed by a new hyperfine interactions arising from the tilt itself. This can be attributed to the combination of anisotropy of the Fermi surface and an additional part related to the structure of the spacetime extracting an effective density of states (DOS)ρ̃from the Korringa relation, we show that it is related to the DOSρof the tilted cone dispersion by the 'redshift factor' asρ̃=ρ/1-ζ2. We interpret this relation as NMR manifestation of an emergent underlying spacetime structure in TCWSMs.A microphysiological system (MPS) holds great promise for drug screening and toxicological testing as an alternative to animal models.
