The Hata Member of the Bouri Formation is defined for Pliocene sedimentary outcrops in the Middle Awash Valley, Ethiopia. The Hata Member is dated to 2.5 million years ago and has produced a new species of Australopithecus and hominid postcranial remains not currently assigned to species. Spatially associated zooarchaeological remains show that hominids acquired meat and marrow by 2.5 million years ago and that they are the near contemporary of Oldowan artifacts at nearby Gona. The combined evidence suggests that behavioral changes associated with lithic technology and enhanced carnivory may have been coincident with the emergence of the Homo clade from Australopithecus afarensis in eastern Africa.

Anterograde amnesia recurrence in temporal lobe epilepsy with amygdala-enlargement.
BMJ Case Rep

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can cause different types of memory impairments. Here, we report a case of immediate improvement of memory impairment following antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment in a patient with TLE with amygdala enlargement (TLE-AE), who rapidly developed recurrence. The patient was a man in his 60s whose family members complained of his amnesia.

Pre-babbling infants can track nonadjacent dependencies (NADs) in the auditory domain. While this forms a crucial prerequisite for language acquisition, the neurodevelopmental origins of this ability remain unknown. We applied functional near-infrared spectroscopy in neonates and 6- to 7-month-old infants to investigate the neural substrate supporting NAD learning and detection using tone sequences in an artificial grammar learning paradigm.

Article Synopsis
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin condition linked to varying levels of Staphylococcus aureus, which affects disease severity and responds to treatments like dupilumab.
- This study aimed to identify host genes related to S aureus levels and AD severity using data from a clinical trial involving 71 adults with moderate-to-severe AD.
- The findings revealed a positive correlation between CERS1 expression (a gene associated with skin lipids) and both S aureus abundance and AD severity, suggesting CERS1 could serve as a biomarker for skin barrier dysfunction, with changes observable after dupilumab treatment.
