Top-down contributions to attention shifting and disengagement: A template model of visual attention.
Two separate systems are involved in the control of spatial attention; one that is driven by a goal, and the other that is driven by stimuli. While the goal- and stimulus-driven systems follow different general principles, they also interplay with each other. However, the mechanism by which the goal-driven system influences the stimulus-driven system is still debated. The present study examined top-down contributions to two components of attention orienting, shifting and disengagement, with an experimental paradigm in which participants held a visual item in short-term memory (STM) and performed a prosaccade task with a manipulation of the gap between fixation offset and target onset. Four experiments showed that the STM content accelerated shifting and impaired disengagement, but the influence on disengagement depended on the utility of STM in guiding attention toward the target. Thus, the use of STM was strategic. Computational models of visual attention were fitted to the experimental data, which suggested that the top-down contributions to shifting was more prominent than those to disengagement. The results indicate that the current modeling framework was particularly useful when examining the contributions of theoretical constructs for the control of visual attention, but it also suggests limitations.

Context Influence on Speech Perception: Evidence for Acoustic-Level Mechanism Across the Voice Onset Time Continuum.

Contextual information plays a significant role in shaping our perception of speech, yet it remains uncertain at which level of processing such information integrates with acoustic cues. A key area of debate is whether top-down information influences acoustic encoding within the lower levels of the speech-processing hierarchy. This study employed a machine learning algorithm to decode the voice onset time (VOT) of speech and investigated how the gender of the speaker of a precursor sentence impacted subsequent speech perception.

The construction of synthetic microbial communities is a crucial strategy for improving the stability of microbial populations and the quality of fermented foods. Jiuyao, an essential saccharification and fermentation starter in Huangjiu production, was the focus of this study. Using metagenomics combined with culture-dependent methods, we identified 11 microbial species involved in Huangjiu fermentation.

The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the bioactive peptide profile of Podolica cow's milk. This dairy product is known for its nutritional properties related to the presence of peculiar lipids and is a typical breed traditionally reared in southern Italy. Using top-down peptidomics, we identified 2213 peptides in milk samples from four different farms, with 19 matching bioactive sequences.

Background: Animal studies established that the locus coeruleus (LC) plays important roles in sleep and wakefulness regulation. Whether it contributes to sleep variability in humans is not yet established. Here, we investigated if the in vivo activity of the LC is related to the variability in the quality of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.

The ecological roles of large predators are well recognized, but quantifying their functional impacts remains an active area of research. In this study, we examined the metabolic requirements and nutrient outputs of the estuarine crocodile population () in northern Australia over a 50-year period, during which the population increased from a few thousand to over 100 000 individuals. Bioenergetic modelling showed that during this period, the crocodile population's annual prey consumption increased from <20 kg km in 1979 to approximately 180 kg km in 2019.
