Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the brain forms expectations based on stimulus patterns, distinguishing between implicit expectations (e.g., from the stimuli themselves) and explicit expectations (e.g., from task demands).
- Using EEG, researchers found that when visual patterns were relevant to a task, they triggered distinct neural responses, but irrelevant patterns did not elicit the same neural activation.
- The findings suggest that attentional control driven by the task can separate from expectations set by stimuli, highlighting the importance of task relevance in managing attention and responses to sensory information.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is gaining attention as a treatment for neurological and psychological disorders by promoting brain recovery and neuroplasticity.
- It works through several cellular mechanisms, improving processes like mitochondrial function, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and reducing inflammation.
- Clinical benefits include better cognitive function, recovery from brain injuries, and symptom relief for PTSD and fibromyalgia, suggesting HBOT's potential in neuromodulation deserves more research.
Article Synopsis
- * This study looked at how well doctors could tell if patients had DCI by looking at special brain images called perfusion maps, comparing those with patients who didn't have aSAH.
- * The results showed that the doctors were fairly good at diagnosing DCI, with around 65-78% accuracy, meaning they could spot problems pretty well most of the time.
The current study investigated the effect of lower frequency input on stream segregation acuity in older, normal hearing adults. Using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and perceptual performance measures, we previously showed that stream segregation abilities were less proficient in older compared to younger adults. However, in that study we used frequency ranges greater than 1500 Hz.

We present a technique to improve detection of residual aneurysms after endovascular coiling by which iodine-map DECTA (IM-DECTA) reconstructions subtract platinum coil artifacts in MIP images (MIP IM-DECTA) and assess if IM-DECTA offers improved detection over conventional CTA (CCTA) or monoenergetic DECTA.
Materials And Methods: We included consecutive patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm coiling with follow-up DECTA and DSA within 24 months.
