AbstractA great deal of research in the neuroscience of music suggests that neural oscillations synchronize with musical stimuli. Although neural synchronization is a well-studied mechanism underpinning expectation, it has even more far-reaching implications for music. In this Perspective, we survey the literature on the neuroscience of music, including pitch, harmony, melody, tonality, rhythm, metre, groove and affect.

AbstractDynamic communication between hepatocytes and the environment is critical in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Clinical immunotherapy against HCC is currently unsatisfactory and needs more systemic considerations, including the identification of new biomarkers and immune checkpoints. Transmembrane 4 L six family member 5 (TM4SF5) is known to promote HCC, but it remains unclear how cancerous hepatocytes avoid immune surveillance and whether avoidance can be blocked.

1. IntroductionCardiovascular disease (CVD) persists as the leading global cause of mortality, contributing significantly to both health challenges and economic burdens [1]. The rising prevalence of CVD has been strongly linked to modifiable risk factors, including poor dietary habits and physical inactivity, and metabolic imbalances, including dyslipidemia and chronic inflammation [2,3,4].

Controlling Chemical Interface Damping by Removing Aromatic Monothiol and Dithiol Groups from Gold Nanorods Using Sodium Borohydride Solution Chemical interface damping (CID) in gold nanorods (AuNRs) significantly influences their optical properties due to the direct transfer of hot electrons from the AuNRs to adsorbed molecules. Despite ongoing research on CID, reversible tuning of CID at the single particle level remains a challenging task.
