The proposal by Clarke and Beck offers a new explanation for the association between the approximate number system (ANS) and math. Previous explanations have largely relied on developmental arguments, an underspecified notion of the ANS as an "error detection mechanism," or affective factors. The proposal that the ANS represents rational numbers suggests that it may directly support a broader range of math skills.

Leading by the nodes: a survey of film industry network analysis and datasets.
Appl Netw Sci
December 2024
Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
This paper presents a comprehensive survey of network analysis research on the film industry, aiming to evaluate its emergence as a field of study and identify potential areas for further research. Many foundational network studies made use of the abundant data from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) to test network methodologies. This survey focuses more specifically on examining research that employs network analysis to evaluate the film industry itself, revealing the social and business relationships involved in film production, distribution, and consumption.

We present a nation-wide network analysis of non-fatal opioid-involved overdose journeys in the United States. Leveraging a unique proprietary dataset of Emergency Medical Services incidents, we construct a journey-to-overdose geospatial network capturing nearly half a million opioid-involved overdose events spanning 2018-2023. We analyze the structure and sociological profiles of the nodes, which are counties or their equivalents, characterize the distribution of overdose journey lengths, and investigate changes in the journey network between 2018 and 2023.

Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder marked by disruptions in circadian rhythms and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, hyperphagia, and episodes of emotional outbursts. Previous trials suggest that both invasive and non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can reduce emotional outbursts in PWS, potentially through its effects on vagal activity.
Aim: This case series investigated the effects of transcutaneous auricular VNS (taVNS) on cardiac markers of circadian vagal activity, specifically heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR), and their potential links to improvements in emotional outbursts.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring the use of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to prevent the aggregation of β-amyloid peptides, a key feature in Alzheimer's disease.
- A straightforward one-step laser ablation process in water was developed to create these modified Au NPs, which have a consistent size and show effectiveness in inhibiting Aβ aggregation through various scientific techniques.
- The study demonstrates that these Au-EGCG NPs not only prevent Aβ aggregation but also reduce the toxic effects of Aβ on cells, providing a potential new approach for Alzheimer's treatment.
Estimating the impact of physician risky-prescribing on the network structure underlying physician shared-patient relationships.

Article Synopsis
- Social network analysis has become a key tool in understanding collaborations among physicians, especially in relation to prescribing practices for older patients in Ohio.
- The concept of homophily suggests that similar individuals (like doctors with similar prescribing habits) are more likely to connect, which can influence interventions aimed at reducing risky-prescribing behaviors.
- By analyzing Medicare data and using advanced network modeling, the study aims to identify patterns of risky-prescribing among physicians, which could inform targeted group interventions to improve patient safety.
