A choice reaction time task was devised, using incongruent colour/word (Stroop-type) and congruent colour/word stimuli. A significant difference was found between reaction times to the two stimulus types with the Stroop-type stimuli eliciting longer reaction times. It is argued that traditional hypotheses about channel limitation can not explain this finding; the suggestion that the delay may lie in the decision-making process is put forward.

Background: Analyzing mixtures of radionuclides is a complex task. Two situations are the mixtures of Sr with Sr and Sr with plutonium isotopes. The challenge arises in emergency scenarios resulting from accidents where the activity of Sr is over 20 times higher than that of Sr, complicating its quantification and requiring delayed measurements.

Background: The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) depends on the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), with a preference for a T cell-inflamed TIME. However, challenges in tissue-based assessments via biopsies have triggered the exploration of non-invasive alternatives, such as radiomics, to comprehensively evaluate TIME across diverse cancers. To address these challenges, we develop an ICI response signature by integrating radiomics with T cell-inflamed gene-expression profiles.

Exposure to lead, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been causally linked to spatial memory deficits and hippocampal changes in animal models. The Inuit community in Northern Canada is exposed to higher concentrations of these contaminants compared to the general population. This study aimed to 1) investigate associations between prenatal and current contaminant exposures and medial temporal brain volumes in Inuit late adolescents; 2) examine the relationship between these brain structures and spatial memory; and 3) assess the mediating role of brain structures in the association between contaminant exposure and spatial memory.

The amygdala plays a crucial role in various behavioral functions and psychiatric conditions, with its morphology showing alterations in sleep disorders. While the impact of chronic sleep disorders on amygdala morphology has been studied, the effects of acute sleep deprivation (ASD) remain largely unexplored. The present study aimed to investigate the modulation between amygdala sub-region volumes and spatial working memory (SWM) performance under ASD conditions.
