In the central nervous system, the formation of myelin by oligodendrocytes (OLs) relies on the switch from the polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton to its depolymerization. The molecular mechanisms that trigger this switch have yet to be elucidated. Here, we identified P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) as a major regulator of actin depolymerization in OLs.

- The study focuses on predicting seizure risk by identifying preictal states that indicate a higher likelihood of seizures occurring.
- Researchers explored using daily intracranial EEG connectivity during controlled periods of vigilance to differentiate between interictal (no seizure) and preictal (risk of seizure within 24 hours) states.
- Findings showed that theta band connectivity yielded successful predictions in 80% of patients, suggesting potential for mobile EEG or implanted devices for more accessible monitoring.
Speech and music are spectrotemporally complex acoustic signals that are highly relevant for humans. Both contain a temporal fine structure that is encoded in the neural responses of subcortical and cortical processing centers. The subcortical response to the temporal fine structure of speech has recently been shown to be modulated by selective attention to one of two competing voices.
