TL;DR: In age-matched participants, using functional MRI, it was found that activation in a network of brain regions typically involved in sustained attention showed an inverted u-shaped curve in which expert meditators (EMs) with an average of 19,000 h of practice had more activation than novices, but EMs with anAverage of 44,000H had less activation.
Abstract: Meditation refers to a family of mental training practices that are designed to familiarize the practitioner with specific types of mental processes. One of the most basic forms of meditation is concentration meditation, in which sustained attention is focused on an object such as a small visual stimulus or the breath. In age-matched participants, using functional MRI, we found that activation in a network of brain regions typically involved in sustained attention showed an inverted u-shaped curve in which expert meditators (EMs) with an average of 19,000 h of practice had more activation than novices, but EMs with an average of 44,000 h had less activation. In response to distracter sounds used to probe the meditation, EMs vs. novices had less brain activation in regions related to discursive thoughts and emotions and more activation in regions related to response inhibition and attention. Correlation with hours of practice suggests possible plasticity in these mechanisms.

TL;DR: The guideline includes data on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of many viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and helminthic etiologies of encephalitis and provides information on when specific etiologic agents should be considered in individual patients with encephalopathy.
Abstract: Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with encephalitis were prepared by an Expert Panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. The guidelines are intended for use by health care providers who care for patients with encephalitis. The guideline includes data on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of many viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and helminthic etiologies of encephalitis and provides information on when specific etiologic agents should be considered in individual patients with encephalitis.

TL;DR: Infrared-kinetic measurements indicate that O-O bond scission is activated by the formation of a CO-O2 complex at dual Ti-Au sites at the Au/TiO2 interface, and density functional theory calculations confirm this model.
Abstract: The prevailing view of CO oxidation on gold-titanium oxide (Au/TiO 2 ) catalysts is that the reaction occurs on metal sites at the Au/TiO 2 interface. We observed dual catalytic sites at the perimeter of 3-nanometer Au particles supported on TiO 2 during CO oxidation. Infrared-kinetic measurements indicate that O-O bond scission is activated by the formation of a CO-O 2 complex at dual Ti-Au sites at the Au/TiO 2 interface. Density functional theory calculations, which provide the activation barriers for the formation and bond scission of the CO-O 2 complex, confirm this model as well as the measured apparent activation energy of 0.16 electron volt. The observation of sequential delivery and reaction of CO first from TiO 2 sites and then from Au sites indicates that catalytic activity occurs at the perimeter of Au nanoparticles.
