Background And Objective: Article 57 of the proposed European Union (EU) Pharmaceutical Legislation (PL, Directive) will require market authorization applicants to publicly declare any direct financial support for R&D received from public authorities. Our research aims to identify the categories needed to capture direct or indirect public contributions to R&D, provide a framework for standardized reporting of public contributions, and reduce ambiguity in the interpretation of "direct" and "indirect" public contributions.
Methods: An iterative mixed-methods approach is applied: a targeted literature review was conducted, complemented by interviews with representatives of different stakeholder groups to identify categories of public contributions to R&D, followed by searches for relevant data sources.

Background: Glutamatergic signaling is essential for modulating synaptic plasticity and cognition. However, the dynamics of glutamatergic activity over the 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, particularly in relation to sleep, remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate diurnal variations in brain Glx levels-representing the combined concentrations of glutamate and glutamine-in humans and to explore their implications for cognitive performance and sleep pressure.
