Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how rats can adapt their decision-making based on context, which is vital for navigating complex environments.
- Researchers created a new task to analyze this context-dependent behavior and discovered that different neural strategies can be used by rats to accomplish the same task.
- Results showed significant variability in how individual rats performed the task, revealing insights into the neural mechanisms underlying flexible decision-making and suggesting that these findings could apply to both biological and artificial systems.
Background And Objectives: Hydrocephalus involves abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in brain ventricles. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and preventing progressive neurological deterioration. The aim of this study was to identify key neuroimaging biomarkers for the diagnosis of hydrocephalus using artificial intelligence to develop practical and accurate diagnostic tools for neurosurgeons.

We aimed to assess the relationship between maternal HbA1c and postnatal LVH.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of infants born to mothers with pre-gestational diabetes mellitus from 2015 to 2021 at our institution.
Article Synopsis
- This review analyzes the definitions and management strategies for normal and abnormal amniotic fluid volumes (AFVs), drawing from various studies and organizational guidelines.
- A timeline was created to track the evolution of AFV thresholds, revealing substantial differences in definitions and management recommendations from 13 different organizations.
- The review emphasizes the need for clarity in managing abnormalities like oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios, proposing algorithms to improve care in the meantime while identifying gaps for future research.
A growing interest in healthy diets has increased demand for fish and seafood, with aquaculture playing a crucial role in meeting this need. Developing new aquaculture products can enhance their commercial value and address consumer demand, but it is unclear which products will be well-received. This study aimed to generate ideas for new products derived from sea bream and prawns, and to gather consumer opinions on these ideas, segmented by gender and age.
