Mobile Phone Apps for Pelvic Floor Disorders.

Importance: Up to 50% of patients report not readily seeking treatment for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). The increase in phone applications (apps) for health care information is an opportunity to increase access to care.

Objective: The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate content and function of apps for patients with PFDs.

Parietal Cortex Is Required for the Integration of Acoustic Evidence.

Sensory-driven decisions are formed by accumulating information over time. Although parietal cortex activity is thought to represent accumulated evidence for sensory-based decisions, recent perturbation studies in rodents and non-human primates have challenged the hypothesis that these representations actually influence behavior. Here, we asked whether the parietal cortex integrates acoustic features from auditory cortical inputs during a perceptual decision-making task.
