Although much recent research has focused on event-based prospective memory (PM), fewer studies have compared event- and time-based PM. In the current study, two experiments were conducted to directly compare ongoing task costs of focal and non-focal event-based tasks with a time-based task. In the second experiment, an external reminder of the task was present to test whether this reduced the cost of the time-based task. PM accuracy was significantly greater for the focal conditions, as predicted. Response times (RT) were highest in the non-focal tasks, with similar RTs in the focal and time-based tasks. Clock check frequency was significantly related to making a PM response in the time-based task, with clock checks increasing as the 7 min target time approached. While time-based tasks may be more difficult to complete, they do not seem to result in the speed cost to an ongoing task that non-focal PM tasks do.

Human Auditory-Motor Networks Show Frequency-Specific Phase-Based Coupling in Resting-State MEG.

Perception and production of music and speech rely on auditory-motor coupling, a mechanism which has been linked to temporally precise oscillatory coupling between auditory and motor regions of the human brain, particularly in the beta frequency band. Recently, brain imaging studies using magnetoencephalography (MEG) have also shown that accurate auditory temporal predictions specifically depend on phase coherence between auditory and motor cortical regions. However, it is not yet clear whether this tight oscillatory phase coupling is an intrinsic feature of the auditory-motor loop, or whether it is only elicited by task demands.

Experimentally monitoring the kinematics of branching network growth is a tricky task, given the complexity of the structures generated in three dimensions. One option is to drive the network in such a way as to obtain two-dimensional growth, enabling a collection of independent images to be obtained. The density of the network generates ambiguous structures, such as overlaps and meetings, which hinder the reconstruction of the chronology of connections.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how accurate self-assessment of abilities (insight) relates to cognitive functions, particularly time-based prospective memory (PM), in nondemented older adults engaging in daily activities.
- - Researchers assessed 88 older adults on various cognitive tasks, including memory and executive functioning, and compared these results with their self-ratings of performance in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
- - Results indicated that poorer time-based PM was linked to a greater tendency to overestimate one’s own IADL abilities, suggesting traditional executive function measures might not fully capture this self-assessment discrepancy.
Two Different Clar's Sextets: Clar's Rule Does Not Necessarily Contradict the Global Pathway of Conjugated Macrocycles.

Two contradictory theories, Clar's sextet and resonance theory, explain the stability of conjugated macrocycles using localized and delocalized models, respectively. To reconcile these theories and gain better insights, PAH-containing porphyrinoids were chosen as a representative class of conjugated macrocycles. Two types of Clar's sextets were identified and proposed for the first time based on their interaction with global conjugated pathways: (i) shared sextets that integrate with and perturb the global resonance pathway, and (ii) independent sextets that are separate from the pathway and potentially stabilize or do not perturb it.
