MEA-driven graph modeling identifies early connectivity changes linked to autism

Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) provide a noninvasive interface with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and long-term, multi-site recordings, enabling mechanistic investigations of in vitro human brain development and disease-related dysfunction; nevertheless, conventional MEA pipelines largely rely on firing/burst statistics or channel-/waveform-level features, which can be insufficient to systematically characterize and interpret network-level organization and its subtle pathological deviations.

Fructans and ATIs impact digestive health in beer

The GLUTEN3S research group of the University of the Basque Country (EHU) has identified the presence of fructans and amylase/trypsin inhibitor (ATI) proteins in gluten-free beers made from barley, compounds that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals. Its content is comparable to that of traditional beers containing gluten, according to a study published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis.
