“…Examples include telecommunications-related educational activities (Spyropoulou et al , 2020) and Web-based internet of things programs (Cornetta et al , 2019). In this stage, neurosciences and neurology are also increasingly linked to STEM education (Saravanapandian et al , 2019), including training students' brain structures for learning effectiveness (Khan et al , 2021) and integrating neuroscience for the implementation of comprehensive undergraduate STEM education (Basu et al , 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a comprehensive review and bibliometric analysis of the literature in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education over the past 15 years, with a specific focus on global distribution and research trends. Design/methodology/approach This study collected 1,718 documents from the Web of Science (WOS) database and analyzed their timeline distribution, geographical distribution, research topics, subject areas, learning stages and citation burst using a bibliometric approach with VOSviewer and Citespace. Findings Results indicated that: overall, STEM education has increasingly gained scholarly attention and is developing diversely by emphasizing interdisciplinary, cross-domain and regional collaboration. In terms of global collaboration, a collaborative network with the USA in the center is gradually expanding to a global scope. In terms of research themes, four key topics can be outlined including educational equity, pedagogy, empirical effects and career development. Social, cultural and economic factors influence the way STEM education is implemented across different countries. The developed Western countries highlighted educational equity and disciplinary integration, while the developing countries tend to focus more on pedagogical practices. As for research trends, eastern countries are emphasizing humanistic leadership and cultural integration in STEM education; in terms of teachers’ professional development, teachers’ abilities of interdisciplinary integration, technology adoption and pedagogy application are of the greatest importance. With regards to pedagogy, the main focus is for developing students’ higher-order abilities. In terms of education equity, issues of gender and ethnicity were still the hottest topics, while the unbalanced development of STEM education across regions needs further research. Originality/value This study provides a global landscape of STEM education along the timeline, which illustrates the yearly progressive development of STEM education and indicates the future trends.

The medial prefrontal cortex [cingulate region (Brodmann, 1909) (CNG)] in the rat is a connectionally and functionally diverse structure. It harbors cerebral nuclei that use long-range connections to promote adaptive changes to ongoing behaviors. The CNG is often described across functional and anatomical gradients, a dorsal-ventral gradient being the most prominent. Topographic organization is a general feature of the nervous system, and it is becoming clear that such spatial arrangements can reflect connectional, functional, and cellular differences. Portions of the CNG are known to form reciprocal connections with cortical areas and thalamus; however, these connectional features have not been described in detail or mapped to standardized rat brain atlases. Here, we used co-injected anterograde (Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin) and retrograde (cholera toxin B subunit) tracers throughout the CNG to identify zones of reciprocal connectivity in the diencephalon [or interbrain (Baer, 1837) (IB)]. Tracer distributions were observed using a Nissl-based atlas-mapping approach that facilitates description of topographic organization. This draft report describes CNG connections of the infralimbic area (Rose & Woolsey, 1948) (ILA) and the anterior cingulate area, dorsal part (Krettek & Price, 1977) (ACAd) throughout the IB. We found that corticothalamic connections are predominantly reciprocal, and that ILA and ACAd connections tended to be spatially segregated with minimal overlap. In the hypothalamus (Kuhlenbeck, 1927), we found dense and specific ILA-originating terminals in the following Brain Maps 4.0 atlas territories: dorsal region (Swanson, 2004) (LHAd) and suprafornical region (Swanson, 2004) (LHAs) of the lateral hypothalamic area (Nissl, 1913), parasubthalamic nucleus (Wang & Zhang, 1995) (PSTN), tuberal nucleus, terete part (Petrovich et al., 2001) (TUte), and an ill-defined dorsal cap of the medial mammillary nucleus (Gudden, 1881) (MM). We discuss these findings in the context of feeding behaviors.
