Working memory (WM) is an evolving concept. Our understanding of the neural functions that support WM develops iteratively alongside the approaches used to study it, and both can be profoundly shaped by available tools and prevailing theoretical paradigms. Here, the organizers of the 2024 Working Memory Symposium-inspired by this year's meeting-highlight current trends and looming questions in WM research.

We investigated the correlation between serviceable hearing in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) and factors including auditory brainstem response (ABR) at their initial presentation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed initial magnetic resonance imaging findings, Gardner-Robertson (G&R) classification, ABR, and related data from 72 patients with VS who visited our institution between February 2017 and January 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the APC gene, leading to colorectal polyps and other health issues.
- This condition can also cause extracolonic manifestations like desmoid tumors and various mental disorders in affected families.
- A case study highlights the importance of mental health care in genetic counseling, as a family with FAP showed connections between the disorder and mental health issues, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities.
Background: Thermal damage may lead to inflammation of the peeled mucosal surface during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Aim: To determine the effect of Joule heat on the onset of post-ESD electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS).
Methods: In this prospective study, PECS was characterized by in-hospital fever (white blood cell count: ≥ 10000 μ/L or body temperature ≥ 37.
Background: The usefulness of bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) has been reported. However, performing bronchoscopy for aspirated sputum and airway secretion specimens (sputum aspirate specimens) in the region extending from the trachea down to the orifice of each segmental bronchus has been poorly documented. We evaluated the diagnostic yield of sputum aspirate specimens collected from the central airway using bronchoscopy.
