The role of reward context has been investigated as an important factor in feedback processing. Previous work has demonstrated that the amplitude of the feedback negativity (FN) depends on the value of the outcome relative to the range of possible outcomes in a given context, not the objective value of the outcome. However, some research has shown that the FN does not scale with loss magnitude in loss-only contexts, suggesting that some contexts do not show a pattern of context dependence. Methodologically, time-frequency decomposition techniques have proven useful for isolating time-domain ERP activity as separable processes indexed in delta (< 3 Hz) and theta (3-7 Hz). Thus, the current study assessed the role of context in a modified gambling feedback task using time-frequency analysis to better isolate the underlying processes. Results revealed that theta was more context dependent and reflected a binary evaluation of bad versus good outcomes in the gain and even contexts. Delta was more context independent: good outcomes scaled linearly with reward magnitude and good-bad differences scaled with context valence. Our findings reveal that theta and delta are differentially sensitive to context and that context valence may play a critical role in determining how the brain processes feedback.

Importance: Evolving breast cancer treatments have led to improved outcomes but carry a substantial financial burden. The association of treatment costs with the cost-effectiveness of screening mammography is unknown.
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of population-based breast cancer screening in the context of current treatment standards.

Gene expression memory-based lineage inference (GEMLI) is a computational tool allowing to predict cell lineages solely from single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets and is publicly available as an R package on GitHub. GEMLI is based on the occurrence of gene expression memory, i.e.

Lineage tracing based on modern live imaging approaches enables to visualize, reconstruct, and analyze the developmental history, fate, and dynamic behaviors of cells in vivo in a direct, comprehensive, and quantitative manner. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has greatly boosted lineage tracing efforts, because fluorescently labeled specimens can be imaged in their entirety, over long periods of time, with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal photodamage. In addition, an increasing arsenal of commercial and open-source software solutions for cell and nuclei segmentation and tracking can be employed to convert data from pixel-based to object-based representations, and to reconstruct the lineages of cells in their native context as they organize in tissues, organs, and whole organisms.

This study investigates the relation and Granger causality among inflation, fiscal expenditure, energy consumption, economic growth, energy efficiency, renewable energy consumption, and environmental pollution in the G7 countries utilizing the PLSTRVAR model for 1975-2022. Our findings highlight the results that inflation and fiscal expenditure have impact on environmental pollution across different regimes. On the other hand, unlike some studies in the literature, it emphasizes that renewable energy consumption may have pollution-increasing effects on environmental pollution.

Background: Social support is relevant to studying well-being, quality of life, and health during aging, particularly in people over 50. Therefore, brief instruments that allow its measurement within the clinical evaluation and research processes are necessary. The ENRICH Social Support Scale (ESSI) is a brief and easy-to-use instrument that measures the perception of social support; however, its psychometric properties in people over 50 in the Chilean context have yet to be tested.
