Summary: In this study, a piezoresistor and MoS2 field effect transistor are combined to create an artificial integrated nervous system that can simulate perception and synaptic plasticity. By using the electron trapping-detrapping mechanism at the MoS2/SiO2 interface, the key characteristics of synaptic plasticity are successfully demonstrated through individual and synergy of optical and pressure signals. The perception under the synergy of optical and pressure signals is found to be stronger than perception under individual signals alone, resembling a biological system. In addition, various distinguishable motion scenarios are simulated and verified by adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the optical and pressure signals.

Summary: This study focuses on the contribution of the pulvinar to multisensory integration, suggesting that the pulvinar combines multiple sources of sensory information to enhance fast responses to the environment and acts as a general regulation hub for adaptive and flexible cognition.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes of neural networks in real-time visual processing after visual deprivation (VD) removal. The participants included 20 children with early binocular VD caused by congenital cataracts and 20 matched typically developing (TD) children. ERP data were analyzed based on three components, three test conditions, and peak time and region of interest. The results showed that the VD group had significantly lower P1 amplitudes and lower activation in the visual cortex and ventral stream compared to the TD group.

Summary: This study investigated the neural correlates of individuals with congenital pattern vision deprivation using steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs). The results suggested a stronger experience dependence of extrastriate than striate cortical processing in individuals with congenital cataracts, and indicated a sensitive period for the development of neural mechanisms mediating visual feature binding.

Summary: The study compared multisensory integration (MSI) in healthy controls and individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), finding that MSI is best explained by cross-modal perceptual competition in both groups. Impairments in SCI patients may be due to reduced stimulus salience leading to increased cross-modal competition.

Summary: Sleep plays a role in stabilizing the homeostatic plasticity of visual ocular dominance induced by short-term monocular deprivation in adult humans. The enhanced response of the deprived eye after sleep is correlated with changes in sleep slow oscillations and spindle power in the occipital visual cortex.

Summary: Systematic audio-visual training can improve the processing of visual information in patients with hemianopia, possibly by recruiting subcortical pathways. However, the underlying mechanisms supporting the reported positive effects are still not understood. Further functional and structural imaging studies can help us understand these mechanisms and inform the design of training paradigms.

Summary: Early visual deprivation results in impaired spatial abilities in other senses. Sight restoration after prolonged visual impairment can lead to more accurate auditory space perception. This recovery seems to be mediated by visual acuity.

Summary: Low-cost amplifiers have potential for measuring stimulus-induced narrow-band gamma oscillations, despite introducing more noise compared to high-cost amplifiers. Results showed that the spectral and temporal features of these responses were highly correlated between the low-cost and high-cost amplifiers, suggesting that low-cost amplifiers can be used for measuring gamma responses.

Summary: The study found changes in cortical thickness in adult patients with bilateral congenital cataracts, not limited to the visual cortex. Patients also showed differences in cortical thickness and functional connectivity across regions compared to normally sighted controls. These results suggest an impact of early visual deprivation on the interactive development of the human cortex.

Summary: The discovery of ipRGCs has shed light on their diverse roles in various visual functions and behaviors, such as regulating circadian rhythms, driving pupillary light reflex, and modulating mood and alertness. The presence of melanopsin as a unique molecular signature has enabled the development of molecular and genetic tools for studying ipRGC circuits.

Summary: Differentiating between different quantities is a fundamental ability in daily life, which has been demonstrated in various non-human vertebrates. This study investigates the relationship between numerical and spatial abilities and finds similar perceptual biases in humans and fish when it comes to numerical estimation tasks.

Summary: In the redundant signals task, participants respond similarly to stimuli from different sources, with faster responses typically observed for redundant signals than single signals. The redundancy gain may be due to different mechanisms, including separate activation and coactivation models. Researchers have discussed the generalization of observations of redundant stimuli from three sources, considering limitations and statistical approaches for testing the inequalities.

Summary: This study compared trajectories of people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors under different survey methods, finding some differences between study samples on the first measurement occasion and statistical support for different trajectories in some aggregates/items. Visual inspection suggested subtle differences between the studies at large, raising awareness of potential differences in trajectories between survey methods, especially with limited measurement occasions considered.
