Article Abstract
Neurons can exhibit abundant electrical activities due to physical effects of various electrophysiology environments. The electromagnetic induction flows can be triggered by changes in neuron membrane potential, which can be equivalent to a memristor applying on membrane potential. To imitate the electromagnetic induction effects, we propose a three-variable memristor-based Wilson neuron model. Using several kinetic analysis methods, the memristor parameter- and initial condition-related electrical activities are explored intensively. It is revealed that the memristive Wilson neuron model can display rich electrical activities, including the asymmetric coexisting electrical activities and antimonotonicity phenomenon. Finally, using off-the-shelf discrete components, an analog circuit on a hardware level is implemented to verify the numerically simulated coexisting electrical activities. Studying these rich electrical activities in neurons can build the groundwork to widen the neuron-based engineering applications.

The maintenance of extracellular fluid (ECF) osmolality and sodium concentration ([Na]) near optimal "set point" values sustains physiological functions and prevents pathological states such as hypo- and hypernatremia. The peptide hormones vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin (a natriuretic hormone in rats) play key roles in this process. These hormones are synthesized by hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) that project to the neurohypophysis and are released into the systemic circulation in response to rises in ECF osmolality or [Na].

Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) has recently emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulation method aimed at reaching deeper brain regions than conventional techniques. However, many questions about its effects remain, requiring further experimental studies. This review consolidates the experimental literature on tTIS's effects in the human brain, clarifies existing evidence, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes future research directions to evaluate its potential.

Existing treatments for chronic pain often prove ineffective and carry adverse side effects, highlighting the need for better analgesics, including non-pharmacological treatments. We demonstrate that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), when repeatedly applied during the early phase of nerve injury in mice, produces sustained analgesic effects by activating the dorsal column nucleus (DCN)-thalamic-cortical pathway, which transmits vibration, discriminative touch, and proprioception. Mechanistically, TENS selectively activates glutamatergic neurons in the DCN (DCN) via exciting Aβ low-threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ-LTMRs) in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs).
