The cognitive system automatically develops predictions on the basis of regularities of event sequences and reacts to the violation of these predictions. In the visual modality, the electrophysiological signature of this process is an event-related potential component, the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN). So far, we have no data, whether the system underlying vMMN is capable of dealing with more than one event sequence simultaneously. To disclose this aspect of the capacity of the system, in a passive oddball paradigm, we presented two interwoven sequences. The stimuli were objects (diamond patterns with their diagonals), one of the sequences was presented to the left side and the other to the right side of the visual field. From time to time, two parallel lines of the diamonds disappeared (OFF event) and then reappeared (ON event). The frequently vanishing pair of lines on the left side (standard) was identical to the rarely vanishing lines of the objects on the right side (deviant) and vice versa. We found that deviant ON events elicited vMMN only for left-side deviants and deviant OFF events elicited vMMN only for right-side deviants. The standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) source localization showed vMMN sources both in posterior visual structures and in anterior locations, and activity was stronger in the hemisphere contralateral to the deviant event. According to the results, the system underlying vMMN is capable of dealing with two sequences, but within a sequence, it detected only one type (either OFF or ON) of deviancy.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) management presents a multifaceted clinical challenge, intricately linking oncological considerations with cardiovascular health. Despite the recognized importance of lipid metabolism and hypertension in this interwoven relationship, their involvement in PCa development remains partially understood. This study aimed to explore variations in plasma metabolome among Sudanese PCa patients and their associated comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses challenges in classifying salivary gland malignancies due to their similar features, highlighting the usefulness of molecular phenotyping, particularly through next-generation sequencing (NGS).
- A case of a young female with a salivary gland tumor at the tongue base was presented, revealing an EWSR1::BEND2 gene fusion through RNA-based NGS, which is a rare finding in this type of cancer.
- The findings suggest that the EWSR1::BEND2 fusion may play a significant role in the development of salivary gland tumors, indicating that RNA-based NGS is crucial for accurate diagnosis and understanding of this rare malignancy.
The Domain-Specific Neural Basis of Auditory Statistical Learning in 5-7-Year-Old Children.

Statistical learning (SL) is the ability to rapidly track statistical regularities and learn patterns in the environment. Recent studies show that SL is constrained by domain-specific features, rather than being a uniform learning mechanism across domains and modalities. This domain-specificity has been reflected at the neural level, as SL occurs in regions primarily involved in processing of specific modalities or domains of input.

The synthesis of nanoporous two-dimensional (2D) materials has revolutionized fields such as membrane separations, DNA sequencing, and osmotic power harvesting. Nanopores in 2D materials significantly modulate their optoelectronic, magnetic, and barrier properties. However, the large number of possible nanopore isomers makes their study onerous, while the lack of machine-learnable representations stymies progress toward structure-property relationships.

The genetic variety and habitats of Camptophora species, generally known as black yeast, have not been clarified. In this study, we re-evaluated Camptophora based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses. Because prior investigations on Camptophora only included a few strains/specimens, 24 Camptophora-related strains were newly obtained from 13 leaf samples of various plant species to redefine the genetic and species concepts of Camptophora.
