Brette highlights a conceptual problem in contemporary neuroscience: Loose talk of "coding" sometimes leads to a conflation of the distinction between representing and merely detecting a property. The solution is to replace casual talk of "coding" with an explicit, demanding set of conditions for neural representation. Various theories of this general type can be found in the philosophical literature.

Design and Development of a Web-Based Registry for Outpatient Rehabilitation: A Delphi Multi-Disciplinary, Expert Consensus Study.
Health Sci Rep
January 2025
Department Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences Mashhad University of Medical Sciences Mashhad Iran.
Background And Aims: The goal of this research was to create a minimum data set (MDS) and design a web-based registry for outpatient rehabilitation, focusing on four disciplines: speech therapy, audiology, optometry, and physical therapy. The registry was intended to enhance assessment, guide optimal care, and provide value-based and evidence-based rehabilitation management for patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized the Delphi technique at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in northeastern Iran from 2022 to 2023.

Hearing loss (HL) is an otolaryngology disease susceptible to environmental pollutants. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as a class of chemical pollutants with evaporation propensity, pose a great threat to human health. However, the association between VOCs and HL remains unclear.

Exposure to loud and/or prolonged noise damages cochlear hair cells and triggers downstream changes in synaptic and electrical activity in multiple brain regions, resulting in hearing loss and altered speech comprehension. It remains unclear however whether or not noise exposure also compromises the cochlear efferent system, a feedback pathway in the brain that fine-tunes hearing sensitivity in the cochlea. We examined the effects of noise-induced hearing loss on the spontaneous action potential (AP) firing pattern in mouse lateral olivocochlear (LOC) neurons.

When we listen to speech, our brain's neurophysiological responses "track" its acoustic features, but it is less well understood how these auditory responses are enhanced by linguistic content. Here, we recorded magnetoencephalography (MEG) responses while subjects of both sexes listened to four types of continuous-speech-like passages: speech-envelope modulated noise, English-like non-words, scrambled words, and a narrative passage. Temporal response function (TRF) analysis provides strong neural evidence for the emergent features of speech processing in cortex, from acoustics to higher-level linguistics, as incremental steps in neural speech processing.

Molecular changes have a substantial impact on the onset of colorectal cancer (CRC). Complexes of HOTAIR and miRNAs disrupt several cellular functions during carcinogenesis, primarily by disrupting several carcinogenic signaling pathways. In the present study, the relationships between the serum levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and E-cadherin and those of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) and microRNA-130a (miR-130a) in individuals with CRC were analyzed, including their correlations and diagnostic potential.
