The brain can predict and estimate motion based on visual translation. This paper addresses whether the visual system also has a specialized mechanism of temporal coherence for rotational motion. To do this, we measured the perceived mislocation of a rotating dot at the time of its luminance transition. Results show that subjects mislocate the dot consistently with its circular motion rather than with translational temporal coherence. We propose a model to explain these results based on a combination of an error in a location-estimation task and on the brain assuming rotational motions.

A systematic review and meta-analyses of the temporal stability and convergent validity of risk preference measures.

Understanding whether risk preference represents a stable, coherent trait is central to efforts aimed at explaining, predicting and preventing risk-related behaviours. We help characterize the nature of the construct by adopting a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analytic approach to summarize the temporal stability of 358 risk preference measures (33 panels, 57 samples, 579,114 respondents). Our findings reveal noteworthy heterogeneity across and within measure categories (propensity, frequency and behaviour), domains (for example, investment, occupational and alcohol consumption) and sample characteristics (for example, age).

The brain entropy (BEN) reflects the randomness of brain activity and is inversely related to its temporal coherence. In recent years, BEN has been found to be associated with a number of neurocognitive, biological, and sociodemographic variables such as fluid intelligence, age, sex, and education. However, evidence regarding the potential relationship between BEN and brain structure is still lacking.

While functional impairments in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and hippocampus (HPC) have been observed in patients and rodent models of AD, it remains unclear how communication between these regions breaks down in disease, and what specific physiological changes are associated with the onset of memory impairment. We used silicon probes to simultaneously record neural activity in MEC and hippocampus before or after the onset of spatial memory impairment in the 3xTg mouse model of AD pathology.

In many contexts, from soils to host-associated communities, highly diverse microbes are organized into metabolic groups or guilds with similar resource preferences. The resource preferences of individual taxa that give rise to these guilds are critical for understanding fluxes of resources through the community and the structure of diversity in the system.

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic capability of pattern electroretinography (PERG) and varying circumpapillary optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan diameters in glaucoma suspects (GS).
Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study. Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured using spectral domain OCT in 49 eyes from 26 patients (36 normal, 13 GS) in three circle diameters (3.
