Sensory-motor systems can extract statistical regularities in dynamic uncertain environments, enabling quicker responses and anticipatory behavior for expected events. Anticipatory smooth pursuit eye movements (aSP) have been observed in primates when the temporal and kinematic properties of a forthcoming visual moving target are fully or partially predictable. To investigate the nature of the internal model of target kinematics underlying aSP, we tested the effect of varying the target kinematics and its predictability.

Background: In this introductory talk, we embark on a journey of through the genomic frontiers of Alzheimer's research via the revolutionary Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP).
Method: ADSP integrates together various components that collectively unravel the intricate genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease with the ultimate goal of advancing precision medicine for the millions affected globally by this devastating disease. With a goal of sequencing and analyzing up to 150,000 complete genomes and associated clinical and functional data in the next five years, ADSP has amassed an unprecedented wealth of genomic data from diverse populations, providing a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease.
Background: We recently developed a novel tau-PET summary measure THETA, capturing regional heterogeneity and identifying tau status, using ground truth visual assessments from a large single-center cross-sectional dataset and validated on independent cohorts [1, 2]. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of THETA on longitudinal and histopathology data.
Method: We included longitudinal tau-PET ([F]flortaucipir) data from 696 Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA) and ADRC participants, with histopathology in n = 90.

Three-quarters of the planet's land surface has been altered by humans, with consequences for animal ecology, movements and related ecosystem functioning. Species often occupy wide geographical ranges with contrasting human disturbance and environmental conditions, yet, limited data availability across species' ranges has constrained our understanding of how human pressure and resource availability jointly shape intraspecific variation of animal space use. Leveraging a unique dataset of 758 annual GPS movement trajectories from 375 brown bears (Ursus arctos) across the species' range in Europe, we investigated the effects of human pressure (i.

Forecasting insect responses to environmental variables at local and global spatial scales remains a crucial task in Ecology. However, predicting future responses requires long-term datasets, which are rarely available for insects, especially in the tropics. From 2002 to 2017, we recorded male ant incidence of 155 ant species at ten malaise traps on the 50-ha ForestGEO plot in Barro Colorado Island.
