title: Effect of antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanodroplets on Enterococci isolated from chronic ulcers of the lower limbs

description: Dataset from the article Mazzaccaro D, Ticozzi R, D'Alessandro S, Delbue S, Nano G, Costa E, Argenziano M, Cavalli R, Prato M, Basilico N. Effect of antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanodroplets on Enterococci isolated from chronic ulcers of the lower limbs. Future Microbiol. 2020 Sep;15:1227-1236. doi: 10.2217/fmb-2019-0255. PMID: 33026879. <strong>Abstract </strong> <strong>Aim:</strong> To investigate the effect of a new platform of nanocarriers, called nanodroplets (NDs), to enhance the <em>in vitro</em> activity of vancomycin (Vm), against bacterial colonies isolated from chronic ulcers of the lower limbs. <strong>Materials & methods:</strong> Oxygen-loaded nanodroplets (OLNDs) or oxygen-free nanodroplets (OFNDs) were loaded with Vm (Vm-OLNDs and Vm-OFNDs). MIC and minimal bactericidal concentrations were evaluated for Vm, OLNDs and OFNDs loaded with Vm, OLNDs and OFNDs. <strong>Results & conclusion:</strong> Nanodroplets, either with or without oxygen, appeared as a suitable platform of antibiotic nanocarriers to enhance the antibacterial effects of Vm against <em>Enterococci</em>, with a decrease in both MIC and minimal bactericidal concentration against Vm-resistant <em>Enterococci</em> strains.

title: Bright Spots of Carbon Storage in Temperate Forests - Dataset

description: This dataset accompanies the publication 'Bright Spots of Carbon Storage in Temperate Forests' in the Journal of Applied Ecology. 1. Mitigating climate change is an urgent challenge for society. Increasing carbon storage in forests, which cover more than 30% of the global land surface, presents a key opportunity to meet this challenge. Although the biophysical and ecological factors that affect carbon storage have been well studied, the relative importance of social factors in privately owned forests, such as people’s goals and management actions, is less well understood. 2. We examine how well typical biophysical and ecological variables can explain differences in aboveground carbon storage across 1561 plots in temperate forests of southern Quebec, Canada. We then identify bright spots and dark spots of aboveground carbon storage, where forests are performing much better or worse than predicted based on biophysical and ecological conditions alone. We conducted surveys with forest owners to assess whether their individual goals, values, and management actions explain the differences in carbon storage between bright and dark spots. 3. Biophysical and ecological variables collectively explained a substantial fraction of the variation in carbon storage between forest plots (R<sup>2 </sup>= 0.42). The ecological variables of stand age, species richness, and functional diversity within the plots were the most important variables in explaining carbon storage. 4. Surveys with forest owners showed that bright spots (plots that stored more carbon than predicted) were often associated with a strong connection to, or dependence on, the forest property. Dark spots were more often associated with forest harvesting and hunting. 5. <em>Synthesis and applications</em>: Ecologically-based policies that aim to increase the average forest age, species richness, and functional diversity—and socially-based policies that incentivise long-term forest ownership, stronger connections between people and their properties, and maple syrup production—could help increase carbon storage over multidecadal timescales and thereby reduce the harmful effects of climate change.

title: Estimating test-score growth for schools and districts with a gap year in the data

description: We evaluate the feasibility of estimating test-score growth for schools and districts with a gap year in test data. Our research design uses a simulated gap year in testing when a true test gap did not occur, which facilitates comparisons of district- and school-level growth estimates with and without a gap year. We find that growth estimates based on the full data and gap-year data are generally similar, establishing that useful growth measures can be constructed with a gap year in test data. Our findings apply most directly to testing disruptions that occur in the absence of other disruptions to the school system. They also provide insights about the test stoppage induced by COVID-19, although our work is just a first step toward producing informative school- and district-level growth measures from the pandemic period.

title: Behavior-dependent short-term assembly dynamics in the medial prefrontal cortex

description: Although short-term plasticity is believed to play a fundamental role in cortical computation, empirical evidence bearing on its role during behavior is scarce. Here we looked for the signature of short-term plasticity in the fine-timescale spiking relationships of a simultaneously recorded population of physiologically identified pyramidal cells and interneurons, in the medial prefrontal cortex of the rat, in a working memory task. On broader timescales, sequentially organized and transiently active neurons reliably differentiated between different trajectories of the rat in the maze. On finer timescales, putative monosynaptic interactions reflected short-term plasticity in their dynamic and predictable modulation across various aspects of the task, beyond a statistical accounting for the effect of the neurons' co-varying firing rates. Seeking potential mechanisms for such effects, we found evidence for both firing pattern–dependent facilitation and depression, as well as for a supralinear effect of presynaptic coincidence on the firing of postsynaptic targets.

title: Cooling of Medial Septum Reveals Theta Phase Lag Coordination of Hippocampal Cell Assemblies

description: Hippocampal theta oscillations coordinate neuronal firing to support memory and spatial navigation. The medial septum (MS) is critical in theta generation by two possible mechanisms: either a unitary “pacemaker” timing signal is imposed on the hippocampal system, or it may assist in organizing target subcircuits within the phase space of theta oscillations. We used temperature manipulation of the MS to test these models. Cooling of the MS reduced both theta frequency and power and was associated with an enhanced incidence of errors in a spatial navigation task, but it did not affect spatial correlates of neurons. MS cooling decreased theta frequency oscillations of place cells and reduced distance-time compression but preserved distance-phase compression of place field sequences within the theta cycle. Thus, the septum is critical for sustaining precise theta phase coordination of cell assemblies in the hippocampal system, a mechanism needed for spatial memory.

title: Network Homeostasis and State Dynamics of Neocortical Sleep

description: Data was recorded using silicon probe electrodes in the frontal cortices of male Long Evans rats between 4-7 months of age. The design was to have no specific behavior, task or stimulus, rather the animal was left alone in it’s home cage (which it lives in at all
times). Data includes both local field potentials (LFP) and spikes. 11 total animals, 27 recording sessions, 1360 total units recorded, 1121 units considered stable, 995 putative excitatory units and 126 putative inhibitory units. Only recordings including a “WAKE-SLEEP” episode wherein at least 7 minutes of wake are followed by 20 minutes of sleep. On average 2 such WAKE-SLEEP episodes per recording session.

title: Diversity in neural firing dynamics supports both rigid and learned hippocampal sequences

description: This data set is composed of eight bilateral silicon-probe multi-cellular electrophysiological recordings performed on four male Long-Evans rats in the Buzsáki lab at NYU. These recordings were performed to assess the effect of novel spatial learning on hippocampal CA1 neural firing and LFP patterns in naïve animals. Each session consisted of a long (~4 hour) PRE rest/sleep epoch home-cage recordings performed in a familiar room, followed by a Novel MAZE running epoch (~45 minutes) in which the animals were transferred to a novel room, and water-rewarded to run on a novel maze. These mazes were either A) a wooden 1.6m linear platform, B) a wooden 1m diameter circular platform or C) a 2m metal linear platform. Animals were rewarded either at both ends of the linear platform, or at a predetermined location on the circular platform. The animal was gently encouraged to run unidirectionally on the circular platform. After the MAZE epochs the animals were transferred back to their home-cage in the familiar room where a long (~4 hour) POST rest/sleep was recorded. All eight sessions were concatenated from the PRE, MAZE, and POST recording epochs. In addition to hippocampal electrophysiological recordings, neck EMG and head-mounted accelerometer signals were recorded, and the animal’s position during MAZE running epochs was tracked via head-mounted LEDs.

title: Reactivations of emotional memory in the hippocampus–amygdala system during sleep

description: The consolidation of context-dependent emotional memory requires communication between the hippocampus and the basolateral amygdala (BLA), but the mechanisms of this process are unknown. We recorded neuronal ensembles in the hippocampus and BLA while rats learned the location of an aversive air puff on a linear track, as well as during sleep before and after training. We found coordinated reactivations between the hippocampus and the BLA during non-REM sleep following training. These reactivations peaked during hippocampal sharp wave–ripples (SPW-Rs) and involved a subgroup of BLA cells positively modulated during hippocampal SPW-Rs. Notably, reactivation was stronger for the hippocampus–BLA correlation patterns representing the run direction that involved the air puff than for the 'safe' direction. These findings suggest that consolidation of contextual emotional memory occurs during ripple-reactivation of hippocampus–amygdala circuits.

title: Internally organized mechanisms of the head direction sense

description: The head-direction (HD) system functions as a compass, with member neurons robustly increasing their firing rates when the animal's head points in a specific direction. HD neurons may be driven by peripheral sensors or, as computational models postulate, internally generated (attractor) mechanisms. We addressed the contributions of stimulus-driven and internally generated activity by recording ensembles of HD neurons in the antero-dorsal thalamic nucleus and the post-subiculum of mice by comparing their activity in various brain states. The temporal correlation structure of HD neurons was preserved during sleep, characterized by a 60°-wide correlated neuronal firing (activity packet), both within and across these two brain structures. During rapid eye movement sleep, the spontaneous drift of the activity packet was similar to that observed during waking and accelerated tenfold during slow-wave sleep. These findings demonstrate that peripheral inputs impinge on an internally organized network, which provides amplification and enhanced precision of the HD signal.
