Adaptive Route Memory Sequences for Insect-Inspired Visual Route Navigation.
Biomimetics (Basel)
December 2024
Visual navigation is a key capability for robots and animals. Inspired by the navigational prowess of social insects, a family of insect-inspired route navigation algorithms-familiarity-based algorithms-have been developed that use stored panoramic images collected during a training route to subsequently derive directional information during route recapitulation. However, unlike the ants that inspire them, these algorithms ignore the sequence in which the training images are acquired so that all temporal information/correlation is lost.

This substudy of FAST explores physical activity in community-dwelling people after stroke comparing the FAST intervention to usual care.
Methods: This study used a subset of 49 participants from a randomised trial.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the nondominant temporal lobe in memory by comparing a spatial memory task (Brown Location Test, BLT) with verbal and visual memory tasks in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
- Results showed that patients with right TLE specifically struggled with the BLT, while those with left TLE had difficulties with both verbal and nonverbal tasks.
- Combining BLT Delayed Recall and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Task (RAVLT) scores was found to be the best way to predict the lateralization of the epileptogenic zone, showing the importance of using diverse memory assessments for evaluating epilepsy surgery candidates.
Introduction: The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons drafted Entrustable Professional Activities for Comprehensive Endocrine Surgery to assess trainees in core topics.
Methods: Fourteen Entrustable Professional Activities were defined. There were 10 "core" Entrustable Professional Activities, with 6 having 3 phases (pre-, intra-, and postoperative) and 4 having a single phase.
