Article Synopsis
- Naps help protect memories in young children, but it's important to distinguish between similar items for forming episodic memories.
- This study focused on 3-5-year-old children to explore how naps and overnight sleep affect memory accuracy, using a fun online task.
- Results showed that habitual nappers had poorer memory discrimination after a nap but improved with a night’s sleep, while non-habitual nappers didn’t experience changes from either rest period, indicating that they might already have mature memory processes.
Combining existing datasets to investigate key questions in developmental cognitive neuroscience brings exciting opportunities and unique challenges. However, many data pooling methods require identical or harmonized methodologies that are often not feasible. We propose Integrative Data Analysis (IDA) as a promising framework to advance developmental cognitive neuroscience with secondary data analysis.

To sustain progress in investigating and quantifying neuroanatomical details in vivo, the reliability and validity of brain measurements are paramount. Quality control (QC) is a set of procedures for mitigating errors and ensuring the validity and reliability of brain measurements.

- The medial temporal lobe (MTL) cortex, essential for memory and vulnerable to diseases like Alzheimer's, consists of various subregions with distinct functions and structures.
- This study compares the cytoarchitectonic definitions of specific areas within the MTL cortex provided by four different neuroanatomists to assess overlapping and differing delineations among them.
- Findings revealed more consensus on the entorhinal cortex and Brodmann area 35, while there was less agreement on Brodmann area 36 and the parahippocampal cortex, particularly in transitional zones where defining features are not as clear.
Background: Nursing home residents with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are an understudied, yet growing population within nursing homes.
Purpose: To describe hospital transfers for nursing home residents diagnosed with ESRD and receiving hemodialysis.
Methods: Data were analyzed for residents with ESRD transferred to the hospital between October 2016 and September 2020 (n = 219).
