    Abstract The computation and comparison of subjective values underlying economic choices rely on the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). In this area, distinct groups of neurons encode the value of individual options, the binary choice outcome, and the chosen value. These variables capture both the input and the output of the choice process, suggesting that the cell groups found in OFC constitute the building blocks of a decision circuit. Here we show that this neural circuit is longitudinally stable. Using two-photon calcium imaging, we recorded from mice choosing between different juice flavors. Recordings of individual cells continued for up to 20 weeks. For each cell and each pair of sessions, we compared the activity profiles using cosine similarity, and we assessed whether the cell encoded the same variable in both sessions. These analyses revealed a high degree of stability and a modest representational drift. A quantitative estimate indicated this drift would not randomize the circuit within the animal's lifetime.

    Abstract In this study, a novel ternary catalyst Mn-Fe-Ce/Al₂O₃ was synthesized by co-impregnation method, and was characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS, and FTIR. The catalytic performance of this ternary catalyst was evaluated in the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of phenol pollutants and it improved the removal rate and mineralization degree of phenol pollutants. The changes of dissolved ozone in water and the TBA experiment proved that the ternary catalyst could accelerate the decomposition of ozone into hydroxyl radicals, thus accelerating the oxidation of phenol. Phosphate experiments and surface hydroxyl density measurements proved that surface hydroxyl was the active site of the catalyst. XPS analysis showed that the ternary catalysts accelerated electron transfer through the redox cycles of Mn²⁺-Mn³⁺-Mn⁴⁺, Fe²⁺-Fe³⁺, and Ce³⁺-Ce⁴⁺, which also contributed to the high catalytic activity. Moreover, the catalyst maintained high catalytic activity after five cycles of use. Therefore, the ternary catalyst was considered an efficient and promising catalyst for catalytic ozonation system.

    Abstract Objective: This study explored treatment experiences and social support among individuals with eating disorders (EDs) in mainland China.
    Method: Subscribers of a Chinese online social media platform (WeChat) focused on EDs were invited to complete a screening questionnaire that included the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale for the DSM-5. Of the 116 questionnaire responses, 31 met inclusion criteria for follow-up interviews. Individuals who never sought treatment were not eligible for follow-up interviews, but provided brief explanations about why they did not seek treatment. All eligible participants (n = 31) completed a semi-structured interview about their experiences with ED treatment and social support. Qualitative data from the interviews and survey responses regarding not seeking treatment were subjected to inductive data-driven thematic analysis with deductive coding to illuminate treatment and social support experiences or reasons for not seeking treatment.
    Results: Themes emerged from interviews revealed positive inpatient treatment experiences for anorexia nervosa, but negative outpatient treatment experiences, unaffordable care, and ineffective psychopharmacological treatments. Parents, friends, and partners were sources of social support, but participants largely felt misunderstood or blamed by these same entities. Shame, not recognizing ED as an illness, and financial constraints were listed as the primary reasons for not seeking treatment.
    Discussion: The importance of hearing patients' perspectives, improving ED literacy in China, increasing knowledge of culturally specific manifestations of EDs, and developing culturally responsive services and dissemination of treatment resources are emphasized.

    Abstract David T. Yue was a renowned biophysicist who dedicated his life to the study of Ca(2+) signaling in cells. In the wake of his passing, we are left not only with a feeling of great loss, but with a tremendous and impactful body of work contributed by a remarkable man. David's research spanned the spectrum from atomic structure to organ systems, with a quantitative rigor aimed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying biological function. Along the way he developed new tools and approaches, enabling not only his own research but that of his contemporaries and those who will come after him. While we cannot hope to replicate the eloquence and style we are accustomed to in David's writing, we nonetheless undertake a review of David's chosen field of study with a focus on many of his contributions to the calcium channel field.

    Abstract Voltage-gated Na and Ca(2+) channels represent two major ion channel families that enable myriad biological functions including the generation of action potentials and the coupling of electrical and chemical signaling in cells. Calmodulin regulation (calmodulation) of these ion channels comprises a vital feedback mechanism with distinct physiological implications. Though long-sought, a shared understanding of the channel families remained elusive for two decades as the functional manifestations and the structural underpinnings of this modulation often appeared to diverge. Here, we review recent advancements in the understanding of calmodulation of Ca(2+) and Na channels that suggest a remarkable similarity in their regulatory scheme. This interrelation between the two channel families now paves the way towards a unified mechanistic framework to understand vital calmodulin-dependent feedback and offers shared principles to approach related channelopathic diseases. An exciting era of synergistic study now looms.
