Cervical cancer elimination is a global health priority with the ambitious 90:70:90 target set by the WHO. This initiative aims for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against HPV, 70% of women to be screened with a high-performance test, and 90% of those who test positive to receive appropriate treatment by 2030. This editorial reflects on the journey from the initial declaration in 2018 to the present, highlighting the progress, challenges, and future directions in the fight against cervical cancer.

Natural visual experience involves a continuous series of related images while the subject is immobile. How does the cortico-hippocampal circuit process a visual episode? The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory, but most rodent single unit studies require spatial exploration or active engagement. Hence, we investigated neural responses to a silent movie (Allen Brain Observatory) in head-fixed mice without any task or locomotion demands, or rewards.

Background: The intrauterine contraceptive device TCu380Ag when compared with TCu380A at 1 year of use had better acceptability and continuation rates.

Objectives: To study the continuation rate, efficacy, and acceptability of TCu380Ag in three sizes versus TCu380A at 5 years of use.

Methods: A total of 600 women opting for intrauterine contraceptive devices were randomized equally into two groups.

Visual cortical neurons encode the position and motion direction of specific stimuli retrospectively, without any locomotion or task demand. The hippocampus, which is a part of the visual system, is hypothesized to require self-motion or a cognitive task to generate allocentric spatial selectivity that is scalar, abstract and prospective. Here we measured rodent hippocampal selectivity to a moving bar of light in a body-fixed rat to bridge these seeming disparities.
