The mRNA-binding protein KSRP (KH-type splicing regulatory protein) is known to modulate immune cell functions post-transcriptionally, e.g., by reducing the mRNA stability of cytokines.

Patients with VHL are predisposed to developing numerous neoplasms, including central nervous system hemangioblastomas that typically arise within the cerebellum, brainstem, or spinal cord. The authors present the unusual case of a 69-year-old patient with a hemangioblastoma of the trigeminal nerve as his initial presentation of VHL.

Although IAF has previously been correlated with cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, or mental speed, its link to cognitive conflict processing remains unexplored. The current work investigated the relationship between IAF and inhibitory cognitive control in two well-established conflict tasks, Stroop and Navon task, while also controlling for alpha power, theta power, and the 1/f offset of aperiodic broadband activity.
