In order to assess clock-time estimation (CTE), we asked "what time is it in your opinion?" to 48 recent stroke in-patients, 21 with right (RH), 27 with left hemispheric (LH) lesions, and to 20 control in-patients without brain lesions (C). Errors were measured in terms of the number of minutes by which the estimated clock-time was later (advance errors) or earlier (delay errors) than the real clock-time. CTE was considered pathological when exceeding the mean advance or delay errors observed in control patients plus 2.5 standard deviations. The estimation of the duration of a short psychological interview was also assessed. CTE, and not duration estimation, was disturbed in patients. RH patients made significantly more pathological advance errors than LH patients (43% vs. 12%). This study points out the RH dominance for CTE in stroke patients.

Background: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects can be backsolved from ssGBLUP genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) and used for genome-wide association studies (ssGWAS). However, obtaining p-values for those SNP effects relies on the inversion of dense matrices, which poses computational limitations in large genotyped populations. In this study, we present a method to approximate SNP p-values for ssGWAS with many genotyped animals.

Study Objectives: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder in children. AD worsens at night, particularly in severe disease. Low light exposure contributes to inflammation, poor sleep, and misalignment between circadian (24-hour) rhythms (biological clocks) and social clocks (weekday vs.

Later timing of eating has been associated with higher adiposity among adults and children in several studies, but not all. Moreover, studies in younger children are scarce. Hence, this study investigated the associations of the timing of evening eating with BMI -score and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and whether these associations were moderated by chronotype among 627 preschoolers (3-6-year-olds) from the cross-sectional DAGIS survey in Finland.

Our experience of time can feel dilated or compressed, rather than reflecting true "clock time." Although many contextual factors influence the subjective perception of time, it is unclear how memory accessibility plays a role in constructing our experience of and memory for time. Here, we used a combination of behavioral and functional MRI measures in healthy young adults ( = 147) to ask the question of how memory is incorporated into temporal duration judgments.

Evaluations using single-step genomic BLUP require blending the genomic relationship matrix () with a positive definite matrix to ensure nonsingularity for solving the mixed model equations. Many organizations blend with a proportion of the numerator relationship matrix for genotyped animals ( ) to improve stability and possibly add a residual polygenic effect. However, when nearly all the polygenic variance is explained by , blending with may cause inflation and add excess computing time; thus, blending with an identity matrix () multiplied by a small value may be a better solution.
