Ｒelationship between theory of mind and local brain functional connectivity children with autism spectrum disorder

目的:探讨孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童心理推理能力(ToM)与局部脑功能连接的关系。方法:选取符合DSM-5诊断标准的6～18岁ASD儿童39例和年龄、性别及智商相匹配的正常儿童43例,进行ToM任务测查和静息态磁共振成像扫描,比较两组ToM通过率/得分和全脑局部一致性(ReHo)缺陷的脑机制值,并采用偏相关方法分析两组间存在差异的ToM通过率/得分和ReHo值之间的关系。结果:ASD组显性错误信念、一级错误信念通过率和表情识别任务得分低于正常对照组(均P&lt;0.05);右额上回局部ReHo值高于正常对照组,右距状沟、左内侧额叶皮层区域ReHo值低于正常对照组(GRF校正,体素P&lt;0.001,团块P&lt;0.05)。结论:ASD患者存在ToM缺陷和局部一致性异常,其中显性错误信念与左内侧额叶皮层局部功能连接相关。</p

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
