Article Abstract
When we react to the outer world, perceived sensory information is frequently memorized over a temporal interval then transformed into a motor command based on a behavioural rule. In this type of memory-based sensorimotor transformation, working memory is considered to play an important role. It has been suggested that the lateral prefrontal cortex is involved in the process of the working memory. However, the neuronal mechanism for guiding a motor command from the working memory has not been established. To examine how visuospatial working memory is linked with a forthcoming saccade direction, we used an antisaccade paradigm for monkeys in which a behavioural rule was presented in the middle of a delay period. In this task, the subjects were required to maintain cue location and to select a response based on a behavioural rule. We found that a subset of mnemonic neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex changed their representation from cue to saccade direction. Furthermore, the discriminability for saccade direction of these neurons tended to appear soon after the behavioural rule presentation, indicating their significant dependency on the behavioural rule. These results suggest that a subset of mnemonic neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex change their activity depending on a behavioural rule to guide a prospective motor command.

Investigating hidden hazards and implementing closed-loop management are essential strategies for accident prevention in the mining industry. This study tackles a key challenge in applying association rule mining to the development of hazard management plans for underground mines. The current approach mainly focuses on hazard description data, often underutilizing critical information such as hazard time and location.

Biochemical and evolutionary interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes ('mitonuclear interactions') are proposed to underpin fundamental aspects of biology including evolution of sexual reproduction, adaptation and speciation. We investigated the role of pre-mating isolation in maintaining functional mitonuclear interactions in wild populations bearing diverged, putatively co-adapted mitonuclear genotypes. Two lineages of eastern yellow robin Eopsaltria australis-putatively climate-adapted to 'inland' and 'coastal' climates-differ by ~7% of mitogenome nucleotides, whereas nuclear genome differences are concentrated into a sex-linked region enriched with mitochondrial functions.

Adaptive mechanisms of learning models play critical roles in interpreting adaptive behavior of humans and animals. Different learning models, varying from Bayesian models, deep learning or regression models to reward-based reinforcement learning models, adopt similar update rules. These update rules can be reduced to the same generalized mathematical form: the Rescorla-Wagner equation.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reactions are one of the fundamental energy transformation reactions in catalysis and biological process. The combining ESIPT with the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) brings the richness of optical, photoelectronic performances to certain functional compounds. Delineating the mechanism of ESIPT + TICT reactions and further understanding why a specific functional group dominates are fundamentally crucial for the design and application of the functionally photoelectric materials.

In recent years, concerns regarding the toxicity of organic UV filters in sunscreen products have increased. While sunscreen products contain multiple UV filters in combination, current understanding on their co-occurrence patterns and mixture toxicities is still limited. This study utilized a public database, "Hwahae", and analyzed 2183 sunscreen products marketed in South Korea as of 2019, using an association rule mining (ARM) to elucidate their co-occurrence patterns.
