Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how neural representations involved in learning categories evolve as individuals gain experience through a prototype learning task.
- It finds that while activity in brain regions tied to habitual learning remains stable, regions related to goal-directed learning decrease in activation over time, indicating a shift in processing.
- Advanced training enhances the ability to decode category information in the intraparietal sulcus and develops category representations in the motor cortex and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, reflecting improved decision-making and memory for category structures.
The Immunosuppressive Drugs Scientific Committee of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology established the second consensus report to guide therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of everolimus (EVR) and its optimal use in clinical practice 7 years after the first version was published in 2016. This version provides information focused on new developments that have arisen in the last 7 years. For the general aspects of the pharmacology and TDM of EVR that have retained their relevance, readers can refer to the 2016 document.

To characterize the sociological risk factors for firearm intimate partner violence (IPV) among women in Texas, with a focus on lethal predictors to aid in screening and intervention guidelines. A retrospective medical and forensic chart review was conducted and supplemented by news sources, public police reports, and court records on firearm cases in Houston, TX, from 2018 to 2020. IPV was defined as a cis-gendered female victim of firearm violence from a current or ex-intimate partner.

- Children and adults engage in different learning strategies with feedback-based and observational training when categorizing new information.
- Adults excel in feedback training for rule-based tasks, while children show no significant difference in performance between training types.
- The study's results highlight that children can effectively learn through observational methods, suggesting educational interventions should be tailored to their strengths.
Article Synopsis
- Theories of category learning have mainly examined how category structures influence what learners grasp, with less focus on other factors affecting their learned representations.
- A new "5/5" categorization task was developed to clarify previous ambiguities in the "5/4" task, and various methods, including computational modeling, were used to determine if participants relied on exemplar or prototype representations.
- Results indicated that learners predominantly used prototypes for categorization, with a noticeable shift over time towards increased reliance on prototype representations and decreased reliance on exemplars.
