During ongoing narratives, event boundaries trigger processes relevant for subsequent memory. Previous work has shown that novel, unrelated input presented at an event boundary can retroactively interfere with short-term retention of the preceding event. This interference was attributed to a perturbation of offset-related processes taking place within seconds after encoding and supporting the binding of elements into a coherent event memory.

- The study examines the challenges in effectively treating major depressive disorder (MDD) due to subjective clinical assessments and a lack of reliable quantitative measures, proposing that MRI-derived objective biomarkers could enhance diagnosis and outcome predictions.
- Researchers aim to develop multi-modal predictors using various MRI techniques from a combined dataset of MDD patients and healthy controls, tackling both diagnosis and treatment outcomes simultaneously.
- Initial findings indicate that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) features outperformed other MRI modalities for both diagnosing MDD and predicting treatment outcomes, suggesting a potential for improved clinical decision-making.
Stereo-electroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation restricted to periventricular nodular heterotopias in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: A single center experience.
Seizure
October 2024
Introduction: Periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH) are developmental abnormalities with neurons abnormally clustered around the cerebral ventricles. Patients frequently present with focal drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). However, the relationship between PVNH and the seizure onset zone (SOZ) is complex.

Methods: Post hoc analysis was conducted on 172 patients in a coma after cardiac arrest from the TELSTAR trial, all with RPPs.
Purpose: Electroencephalography (EEG) is commonly used in neurology, but there is variability in how neurologists interpret EEGs, potentially from variability in EEG teaching. Little is known about how EEG teaching is done to prepare neurologists for professional practice.
Methods: We interviewed a group of EEG experts to characterize their teaching practices around continuous EEG (cEEG).
