Quality control: Neatly arranging crystal growth to make fine thin films

AI SummaryResearchers have developed a method to create high-quality metal-organic framework thin films by controlling the growth direction of crystals, resulting in neatly arranged films without gaps. These films have potential applications as optical sensors, optical elements, and transparent gas adsorption sheets.Researchers have succeeded in forming metal-organic framework thin films on a substrate while controlling… Continue reading Quality control: Neatly arranging crystal growth to make fine thin films

Activation of NPY Receptors in the BLA Inhibits Projections to the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis and Buffers Stress-Induced Decreases in Social Interaction in Male Rats

AI SummaryThis study investigates how the activation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) affects behavioral responses in male rats under stress. The research shows that NPY acts through Y1 and Y5 receptors to modulate the excitability of BLA neurons projecting to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), but not… Continue reading Activation of NPY Receptors in the BLA Inhibits Projections to the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis and Buffers Stress-Induced Decreases in Social Interaction in Male Rats
