Loss of a sensory modality triggers global adaptation across brain areas, allowing the remaining senses to guide behavior more effectively. There are specific synaptic and circuit plasticity observed across many sensory areas, which suggests potential widespread changes in activity. Here we used a cFosTRAP2 mouse line to drive tdTomato (tdT) expression in active cells to spatially map the extent of activity changes in various sensory areas in adult mice of both sexes following two modes of visual deprivation.

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Confirm Rx™ ICM in detecting AF episodes of varying durations.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of consecutive patients implanted with a Confirm Rx™ ICM (v1.
Article Synopsis
- * Methods: An observational study involving 74 people living with HIV (PWH) on ART was conducted, analyzing cytokine levels and intact proviral DNA to evaluate how these factors impact HIV decay over time.
- * Results: Lower baseline levels of Gal-9 were linked to faster decay of intact HIV genomes, with notable increase correlations for other cytokines like ITAC and IL-17; this suggests that targeting Gal-9 and other cytokines could help develop treatments that enhance HIV reservoir decay.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared sperm analysis results from manual methods versus the SQA-Vision sperm analyser over four years, involving 1,130 patient cases.
- No significant differences were found in sperm parameters between the two methods, indicating a strong correlation in results.
- The SQA-V system displayed high sensitivity and specificity across various analyses (e.g., sperm motility and morphology), suggesting it is reliable for routine use.
Emergent tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) can occur during sustained postures or movements that are different from action tremor. Tremor can contaminate the clinical rating of bradykinesia during finger tapping. Currently, there is no reliable way of isolating emergent tremor and measuring the cardinal motor symptoms based on voluntary movements only.
