A study published in Molecular Brain investigates the role of Ankyrin 2 gene in learning, memory, and development of the Drosophila brain.
]. For training, single virgin males of each genotype were placed into individual training chambers. A freshly mated wild-type female was placed with each male to be trained, whereas sham control males were housed alone. Over the seven-hour training period, multiple bouts of courtship were observed in the trained group. The female fly was then aspirated from the training chamber and the males were left in their chambers for the 24 h prior to testing.
For assessment of learning, the male was placed with a mated female for an hour and the first ten minutes and last ten minutes were scored for courtship behavior. The learning index was calculated as 1-.

Localization free super-resolution microbubble velocimetry using a long short-term memory neural networkUltrasound localization microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that exploits the unique characteristics of contrast microbubbles to side-step the fundamental trade-off between imaging resolution and penetration depth. However, the conventional reconstruction technique is confined to low microbubble concentrations to avoid localization and tracking errors. Several research groups have introduced sparsity- and deep learning-based approaches to overcome this constraint to extract useful vascular structural information from overlapping microbubble signals, but these solutions have not been demonstrated to produce blood flow velocity maps of the microcirculation. Here, we introduce Deep-SMV, a localization free super-resolution microbubble velocimetry technique, based on a long short-term memory neural network, that provides high imaging speed and robustness to high microbubble concentrations, and directly outputs blood velocity measurements at a super-resolution. Deep-SMV is trained efficiently using microbubble flow simulation on real in vivo vascular data and demonstrates real-time velocity map reconstruction suitable for functional vascular imaging and pulsatility mapping at super-resolution. The technique is successfully applied to a wide variety of imaging scenarios, include flow channel phantoms, chicken embryo chorioallantoic membranes, and mouse brain imaging. An implementation of Deep-SMV is openly available at https://github.com/chenxiptz/SR_microvessel_velocimetry, with two pre-trained models available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SECUFD.

Study finds association between long-term exposure to air pollution and severe COVID-19A long history of exposure to air pollution is associated with a higher risk of developing severe disease, admission to hospital or an intensive care unit (ICU) and death by COVID‑19 according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, was based on a large cohort of 4,660,502 adults resident in Catalonia in 2020, the year the Spanish autonomous community had a high incidence of COVID-19.
