Article Abstract
Background: Recent advancements in ultra-high-density mapping (UHDM) featuring automated functionalities have enhanced our understanding of micro-reentrant atrial tachycardias (mAT) circuits and the precise localization of the origin.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic support provided by an automated UHDM algorithm in guiding the ablation of mATs.
Methods: Consecutive patients eligible for AT ablation in 22 Italian centers were prospectively enrolled. All ATs were comprehensively mapped in either the left or right atrium utilizing the RHYTHMIA mapping system. The LUMIPOINT tool was systematically employed to confirm electrogram fragmentation within this defined area.
Results: Among 159 ATs analyzed, 97 (61.0%) were identified as macro-reentrant ATs, 50 (31.4%) as focal ATs and 12 (7.5%) as mATs. Concerning the mAT group, the targeted activity was localized in the anterior wall in 4 cases (33.3%), in proximity to PVs in 3 cases (25%), along the left ridge in 2 cases (16.6%), and at the roof, in the free wall and along the CTI in 1 case (8.3%), respectively. Low voltage areas (< 0.1 mV) were detected in all mAT cases and colocalized with the origin site. Over a median of 288 [248-349] days of follow-up, 5 (3.1%) patients suffered from an AT/AF arrhythmia recurrence: 3 (3.1%) were in the MAT group, 1 (2%) in the focal AT and 1 (8.3%) in the mAT group.
Conclusion: A novel automated algorithm for mAT identification, coupled with ORION catheter, enables mAT description and transcatheter ablation of the localized origin of this rare form of AT results in a satisfactory procedural success rate.

Marmoset Anterior Cingulate Area 32 Neurons Exhibit Responses to Presented and Produced Calls During Naturalistic Vocal Communication.

Vocal communication is a complex social behavior that entails the integration of auditory perception and vocal production. Both anatomical and functional evidence have implicated the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), including area 32, in these processes, but the dynamics of neural responses in area 32 during naturalistic vocal interactions remain poorly understood. Here, we addressed this by recording the activity of single area 32 neurons using chronically implanted ultra high density Neuropixels probes in freely moving male common marmosets () engaged in an antiphonal calling paradigm in which they exchanged long-distance "phee" calls with a virtual conspecific.

Introduction: Human iPSC-derived brain organoids and assembloids have emerged as promising in vitro models for recapitulating human brain development, neurological disorders, and drug responses. However, detailed analysis of their electrophysiological properties requires advanced measurement techniques.
Methods: Here, we present an analytical approach using ultra-high-density (UHD) CMOS microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with 236,880 electrodes across a 32.

Consumption of ultra-processed food is associated with increased caloric intake and impaired health. Here, we conducted a nutrition trial (NCT05368194) with controlled, 2 × 2 crossover design and tested whether ultra-processed food impairs reproductive and metabolic fitness, with further aggravation by excess caloric intake. Comparing the response from an unprocessed to ultra-processed diet identified increased body weight and low-density lipoprotein (LDL):high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, independent of caloric load.

High-density tactile sensor arrays that replicate human touch could restore texture perception in paralyzed individuals. However, conventional tactile sensor arrays face inherent trade-offs between spatial resolution, sensitivity, and crosstalk suppression due to microstructure size limitations and signal interference. To address this, we developed a tactile sensor featuring 10 μm-scale pyramid tips that achieve ultra-high sensitivity (8.

: Atrial fibrosis is a key contributor to atrial cardiomyopathy and can be assessed invasively using mean left atrial voltage (MLAV) from electroanatomical mapping. However, the invasive nature of this procedure limits its clinical applicability. Machine learning (ML), particularly regression tree-based models, may offer a non-invasive approach for predicting MLAV using clinical and echocardiographic data, improving non-invasive atrial fibrosis characterisation beyond current dichotomous classifications.
