Article Abstract
This study investigated the impact of 3-methylbutanal (0, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 μg/kg) on aroma and neural responses in fermented sausages. Among 33 volatiles identified, 3-methylbutanal exhibited the highest odor activity value of 868, indicating its dominant contribution. Sensory analysis showed that samples with 180 μg/kg received the highest ratings for savory (7.0), caramelized (7.1), and nutty (4.4) notes, whereas the 300 μg/kg group showed the lowest overall aroma intensity. EEG analysis indicated global power and α-band activity peaked at 180 μg/kg, increasing by 65.8 % and 73.2 % over baseline, then declined at higher doses. Time-resolved topographies showed odor decoding began at 100 ms and peaked at 500 ms. Source localization identified increased activity in dorsolateral, orbitofrontal, and ventromedial prefrontal cortices at 180 μg/kg. These results demonstrate that moderate levels of 3-methylbutanal enhance aroma perception and evoke heightened neural activity in brain regions associated with olfactory processing and emotion.

While knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in the United States, OA within the patellofemoral joint is understudied compared to the tibiofemoral joint. Mechanical alterations to cartilage may be among the first changes indicative of early OA. MR-based protocols have probed patellar cartilage mechanical function by measuring deformations in response to exercise.

With the advancements of next-generation sequencing, publicly available pharmacogenomic datasets from cancer cell lines provide a handle for developing predictive models of drug responses and identifying associated biomarkers. However, many currently available predictive models are often just used as black boxes, lacking meaningful biological interpretations. In this study, we made use of open-source drug response data from cancer cell lines, in conjunction with KEGG pathway information, to develop sparse neural networks, K-net, enabling the prediction of drug response in EGFR signaling pathways and the identification of key biomarkers.

The neural circuits that transmit the sense of pain and how pain is encoded by these circuits are still poorly understood.Mechanical allodynia is a prominent form of chronic pain characterized by painful responses to innocuous touch that develops as a consequence of nerve damage and inflammation. Here, we show that alterations to the normal log-normal distribution of neuronal activity and structure of neural correlations between neurons in the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) constitute a signature feature of mechanical allodynia, with the transmission of "allodynic" light touch information to the thalamus by somatostatin-positive projection neurons in the DCN being essential for its expression and development.

Objective: To compare brain activity before voluntary movement and before the same movement when it was released from suppression. This study examined the Bereitschaftspotential (BP) and beta band event-related desynchronization (bERD) during active blink suppression, contrasting these with voluntary blinking, where these EEG correlates of motor preparation are well-established.
Methods: Fifteen healthy adults performed voluntary blink and blink suppression-release tasks with EEG recording.

Identifying early predictors of language development is essential for understanding how infants acquire vocabulary during the first years of life. While previous studies have established the importance of infant-directed speech (IDS) and neural speech processing, this longitudinal study introduces a novel approach by combining EEG-based functional connectivity analysis and machine learning to assess the joint contribution of maternal and infant neural factors to language outcomes. Data were collected at birth and nine months, including maternal personality and speech characteristics, alongside infant EEG responses during speech processing.
