Precision-based causal inference modulates audiovisual temporal recalibration.

Cross-modal temporal recalibration guarantees stable temporal perception across everchanging environments. Yet, the mechanisms of cross-modal temporal recalibration remain unknown. Here, we conducted an experiment to measure how participants' temporal perception was affected by exposure to audiovisual stimuli with consistent temporal delays.

METTL3 facilitates stemness properties and tumorigenicity of cancer stem cells in hepatocellular carcinoma through the SOCS3/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) contribute to tumor recurrence and cancer cell proliferation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METTL3-catalyzed mA modification is relevant to the cancer stem cell (CSC) phenotype, including LCSCs. LCSCs were isolated from MHCC-97H and HepG2 cells through flow cytometry.

Repeated exposure to either consistently spatiotemporally congruent or consistently incongruent audiovisual stimuli modulates the audiovisual common-cause prior.

To estimate an environmental property such as object location from multiple sensory signals, the brain must infer their causal relationship. Only information originating from the same source should be integrated. This inference relies on the characteristics of the measurements, the information the sensory modalities provide on a given trial, as well as on a cross-modal common-cause prior: accumulated knowledge about the probability that cross-modal measurements originate from the same source.

Blockade of adenosine A receptor alleviates cognitive dysfunction after chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia in mice.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is widely known for its multiple systems damage, especially neurocognitive deficits in children. Since their discovery, adenosine A receptors (ARs) have been considered as key elements in signaling pathways mediating neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's and Alzheimer's, as well as cognitive function regulation. Herein, we investigated AR role in cognitive impairment induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH).

Causal inference regulates audiovisual spatial recalibration via its influence on audiovisual perception.

To obtain a coherent perception of the world, our senses need to be in alignment. When we encounter misaligned cues from two sensory modalities, the brain must infer which cue is faulty and recalibrate the corresponding sense. We examined whether and how the brain uses cue reliability to identify the miscalibrated sense by measuring the audiovisual ventriloquism aftereffect for stimuli of varying visual reliability.

Related Psychosocial Factors and Delivery Mode of Depression and Anxiety in Primipara in Late Pregnancy.

Studies in recent years show that the delivery process, the choice of delivery mode, and the delivery outcome of primiparas are affected by their mental state. With the transformation of the medical model from the single biomedical model to the biopsychosocial medical model, the influence of social psychological factors on maternal psychological state has aroused heated discussion among clinical scholars. In this study, 480 cases of normal primiparas who had regular prenatal examination and delivered in hospital were selected as the research object.
