This study reports an analysis of the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) recorded on the human scalp during the comparison of a test duration with a previously memorized duration. Results show that CNV activity peaks at the end of the memorized duration, and that its slope varies inversely with the length of this duration. These features of CNV activity are similar to those of climbing neuronal activity observed through intracerebral recordings in animals, and suggest that both activities reflect how the brain encodes the timing of an upcoming event. These results also show that the time-course of the CNV in timing tasks is compatible with a pacemaker-accumulator model of temporal processing.

Elite tennis players demonstrate an outstanding ability to predict the timing of their shots during matches, especially during prolonged rallies. Exploring the characteristics of this temporal perception advantage and its cognitive processing mechanisms may help explain the influence of sports experience on temporal perception abilities. We recruited 28 tennis athletes and 28 controls with no sports experience and measured their behavioral performance and brain neural activity characteristics using a time-to-contact paradigm under different temporal context conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Aggressive pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) often grow despite treatment and can metastasize, making them particularly challenging to manage.
- This study analyzed tumor samples from 64 patients to investigate genetic markers, finding distinct patterns between aggressive/metastatic tumors and benign ones through genome-wide methylation and chromosomal analyses.
- The results indicate potential biomarkers that could help in identifying high-risk patients earlier, refining treatment protocols, and improving outcomes for those with aggressive pituitary tumors.

Temporal attention is the ability to prioritize information based on timing. While conscious perception of temporally structured information is known to generate temporal attention, whether it occurs unconsciously remains uncertain. This study used a temporal cueing paradigm with masking techniques to explore the differences between conscious and unconscious temporal attention mechanisms.

In clinical practice, timely and accurate diagnosis can effectively reduce unnecessary treatment, avoid high medical costs, and prevent adverse prognoses. However, some patients with malignant tumors and those with infection often exhibit similar symptoms, which are difficult to distinguish, posing challenges in accurate clinical diagnosis. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology has been widely applied to confirm the source of infection.

Objective: The exact relationship between fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) remains unclear. In this study, using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and FGF2-tg mice which are transgenic mice with a rhodopsin promoter/FGF2 gene fusion, we aimed to investigate the dynamics of FGF2's role in angiogenesis over time.
Methods: We developed laser-induced CNV models of FGF2-tg and wild-type (WT) mice and then separated them into two groups using different laser photocoagulation (PC) conditions.
