Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare postoperative pain levels between two filling techniques used in non-surgical root canal treatment for irreversible pulpitis.
- Both techniques were executed under a standardized protocol, with pain assessments conducted through surveys at 4, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment.
- Results indicated no significant difference in pain levels between the two techniques, suggesting that the choice of filling method does not affect postoperative pain intensity.
Neurons are often considered specialized functional units that encode a single variable. However, many neurons are observed to respond to a mix of disparate sensory, cognitive, and behavioral variables. For such representations, information is distributed across multiple neurons.

In Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), these vTAs are encoded by ORF18, ORF24, ORF30, ORF31, ORF34, and ORF66. Assembly of the vTAs into a complex is critical for late gene transcription, and thus, deciphering the architecture of the complex is central to understanding its transcriptional regulatory activity.
