Measuring and reducing surgical staff stress in a realistic operating room setting using EDA monitoring and smart hearing protection

BackgroundStress is a critical factor in the operating room (OR) and affects both the performance and well-being of surgical staff. Measuring and mitigating this stress

Gradient-specified optimization based on muscle surface mesh and moment arm as an effect-oriented approach of automated musculotendon path modeling

There is more to musculotendon path modeling than aligning a cable to reflect the geometric features of a muscle-tendon unit. From the perspective of simulation

Adaptation to free-living drives loss of beneficial endosymbiosis through metabolic trade-offs

Symbioses are widespread (1) and underpin the function of diverse ecosystems (2-6), but their evolutionary stability is challenging to explain (7,8). Fitness trade-offs between con-trasting

Hippocampal representations differentiate reactive and anticipatory responses during foraging under threat

Adaptive behavior under threat requires balancing reward pursuit against the risk of harm. During approach-avoidance conflict, animals often pause at decision points, but whether these

Frontal Brain Injury Reduces Sensitivity to Reward-Predictive Cues and Remodels the Nucleus Accumbens

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are more than mere lesions and generate a persistent secondary pathology. This, combined with functional reorganization of circuits post-injury, may explain
