Introduction Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are vital for sustainable energy. The underwater foundations of those wind turbines provide a complex structure that creates new habitats and attracts fishes. However, whether OWFs had the same ecological function as purpose-built artificial reef (AR) and how they alter the original fish community remain unclear. Methods To evaluate the spatial and temporal variations in fish assemblages...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by synaptic dysregulation as its underlying pathophysiological mechanism. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an intracellular energy sensor, plays a pivotal role in regulating synaptic integrity and function. Current treatments for ASD exhibit limited benefits in alleviating the core symptoms of ASD. Consequently, we investigated the therapeutic...

Traditional brain connectivity studies have focused mainly on structural connectivity, often relying on tractography with diffusion MRI (dMRI) to reconstruct white matter pathways. In parallel, studies of functional connectivity have examined correlations in brain activity using fMRI. However, emerging methodologies are advancing our understanding of brain networks. Here we explore advanced connectivity approaches beyond conve...
