Valence (chemistry)

  1. mPFC pathways show distinct affective state patterns
    Calcium imaging reveals distinct activity patterns in mPFC pathways to amygdala versus nucleus accumbens during anxiety, exploration, and social behaviors in mice.
  2. Valence bond representations with +ve charges on adjacent atoms? An odd titanium complex analysed.
    Computational analysis of titanium complexes reveals that adjacent positively charged nitrogen atoms form stable bonds with unusually low interaction energies.
  3. Additive radii fitted for sixfold metal–metal bonding
    Additive covalent radii for sixfold metal-metal bonded dimers across transition metals and actinides with 12 valence electrons in (1σ)²(2σ)²π⁴δ⁴ configuration.
  4. Affective surprise enhanced memory for item timing
    Affective surprise—deviations in expected emotional states—enhances binding of items to temporal contexts in episodic memory, functioning as a learning signal independent of valence direction.
