We have recorded middle-latency magnetic evoked responses to 50-ms noise bursts, presented once every 0.9 s, over the right hemisphere of healthy humans. The measurements were carried out with a sensitive 7-channel SQUID gradiometer with a passband of 0.5-2000 Hz. The response consisted of peaks at about 30, 50 and 65 ms. The location of the equivalent source of the 30-ms deflection agrees with activation of the supratemporal auditory cortex, slightly anterior to the source area of the well-known 100-ms deflection.

Background: The key advantage of active immunization is the induction of sustained, polyclonal antibody responses that are readily boosted by occasional immunizations. Recent clinical trial outcomes for monoclonal antibodies lecanemab and donanemab, establish the relevance of targeting pathological Abeta for clearing amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. ACI-24.

Background: Responses to individualized music in people living with dementia can be indicated by both verbal and non-verbal cues. Evidence suggests that elevated pupil dilation responses to familiar vs. unfamiliar music are preserved in people living with typical Alzheimer's disease (tAD), and to an extent in people with its atypical 'visual' variant (Posterior Cortical Atrophy; PCA) (Brotherhood et al.

Appropriate risk evaluation is essential for survival in complex, uncertain environments. Confronted with choosing between certain (safe) and uncertain (risky) options, animals show strong preference for either option consistently across extended time periods. How such risk preference is encoded in the brain remains elusive.

Purpose: Variations in neural survival along the cochlear implant electrode array leads to off-place listening, resulting in poorer speech understanding outcomes for recipients. Therefore, it is important to develop and compare clinically viable tests to identify these patient-specific intra-cochlear neural differences.
Methods: Nineteen experienced cochlear implant recipients (9 males and 10 females) were recruited for this study.

The growing interest in reducing sugar and fat in processed foods has led to the use of fibers with prebiotic potential, such as inulin and xylooligosaccharide (XOS), as substitutes capable of enhancing nutritional value and sensory quality. Using an innovative approach with Free Just-About-Right (FREE JAR) to obtain Drivers of Liking, this study evaluated consumer perception (n = 129) regarding the impact of adding inulin and XOS to Dulce de Leche with or without fat reduction. The term "Too Greasy" was significant for the product made with whole milk; however, adding inulin and XOS mitigated this effect and promoted the sensation of JAR sweetness.
