This study shows that aging reduces brain network synchrony, modeled as a critical point in communication strength, and demonstrates that metabolic changes can drive these global shifts.

This paper develops an MRI-compatible nasal delivery system for nicotine to study addiction dynamics and confirms its ability to elicit craving cycles and activate addiction-related brain circuits.

The paper uses Maximum Caliber to infer parameters of a three-gene feedback network from synthetic protein time traces, showing that a minimal model captures key features while more complex models improve predictions.
