Using soil classification to improve interpretation of biological soil health indicators by K.A. Congreves, Q. Wu

“…Despite the dynamic nature of biological indicators of soil health, we find that soil classification by great group constrains measurements and serves as a useful contextualizing factor to adjust scoring functions. Further, we find biological indicators of soil health (namely soil organic C, total N, and P and S enzyme activity) generally improve with more regenerative crop production practices such as cover cropping or organic management. …”

Motor learning leverages coordinated low-frequency cortico-basal ganglia activity to optimize motor preparation in humans with Parkinson’s disease by Kara N. Presbrey, Kara N. Presbrey, Kara N. Presbrey, Thomas A. Wozny, Thomas A. Wozny, Kenneth H. Louie, Kenneth H. Louie, Simon Little, Simon Little, Philip A. Starr, Philip A. Starr, Reza Abbasi-Asl, Reza Abbasi-Asl, Doris D. Wang, Doris D. Wang

“…For motor cortex γ, this increase was tied to learning-related cross-frequency coupling led by cortically-driven network delta (δ, 0.5–4 Hz) synchrony. More generally, coordinated network δ supported a complex pattern of learning-driven cross-frequency couplings within and between cortex and basal ganglia, including striatal lead of cortical beta (β, 12–30 Hz) activity, reflecting the specialized roles of these brain regions in motor preparation. …”

Neuroanatomical correlates of language impairment in non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia by Diliara R. Akhmadullina, Rodion N. Konovalov, Yulia A. Shpilyukova, Kseniya V. Nevzorova, Ekaterina Yu. Fedotova, Sergey N. Illarioshkin

“…Apart from that, neuroanatomical foundations were different for each of the core nfvPPA language domains, including superior parietal lobule involvement in fluency, temporoparietal areas in receptive agrammatisms and supplemental motor area in apraxia of speech. Functional correlations were even more diverse. In general, connectivity decrease between temporoparietal structures was more typical for expressive and receptive agrammatisms, single word comprehension and naming, while apraxia of speech, fluency and repetition showed connectivity disruption mainly among the frontoparietal region and subcortical structures. …”
