Summary: This research examined the impact of incidental exposure on building category knowledge and found that even without explicit evidence of category learning during exposure, incidental exposure still resulted in readiness to learn. However, this readiness to learn effect only occurred when categories possessed a rich structure.

Summary: This study reveals that DNA damage is a homeostatic driver for sleep, with neuronal activity and mutagens triggering repair during sleep. DDR proteins show increased activity during sleep, while Parp1 promotes sleep and repair, sensing cellular pressure for sleep.

Summary: This article introduces a method called CaFE, which leverages category priors to achieve effective feature fusion and imbalance learning in multimodal remote sensing image semantic segmentation. The method disentangles the feature fusion process and assigns weights to category regions based on sample proportions, leading to improved segmentation results.

Summary: Despite the complexity of auditory signals, we quickly learn to categorize novel sounds behaviorally. The neural systems underlying the learning and representation of novel auditory categories are still not well understood. Through functional MRI, researchers found that adults learning different auditory categories showed distinct spatial and temporal patterns in neural activation, which were not driven by underlying dimensions but by category structures and learning strategies.

Summary: This study used EEG-based multivariate pattern analysis to decode neural representations of outcome and response in individuals under stress. The findings suggest that stress can lead to habitual behavior due to enhanced stimulus-response processing and diminished outcome processing.

Summary: Sleep stage classification is important for evaluating sleep quality. However, many methods ignore the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on sleep staging. In this study, a structured sleep staging network (SSleepNet) based on OSA was proposed to improve sleep staging performance by learning comprehensive features and transfer relationships.

Summary: Multiple lines of research in education have developed various training approaches that facilitate category learning. However, these studies often simplify the complexity of real-world input. In this study, we challenged the assumption that these simplified studies reflect the actual process of category learning by creating a complex auditory category learning paradigm. The results demonstrate that learning in complex input conditions is not as influenced by training regime manipulation as previously thought.

Summary: Neuroimaging and single cell recordings have shown the existence of STS body category-selective regions (body patches) that respond to static bodies and body parts. However, it is still uncertain if these body patches and other STS regions respond to different categories of dynamic actions and how categorization learning influences observed action representations in the STS.

Summary: This paper proposes a component semantic recognizer for addressing misclassification of resemblance categories in 3D point cloud classification. The recognizer extracts distinguishing features of point clouds to identify different structural blocks and preserves spatial properties through an affinity bias. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method on synthetic and real-world point cloud benchmarks.

Summary: The study found that delivering brief prefrontal pulses synchronized with MTL slow-wave active periods during human sleep can enhance sleep oscillation coupling and memory accuracy. This demonstrates the crucial role of hippocampal-thalamocortical synchronization in memory consolidation during sleep.

Summary: This study demonstrates that knocking down the alpha 3 GABA(A) receptor subunit from parvalbumin neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing increases the thalamocortical delta oscillations in sleep, suggesting a potential strategy to enhance the restorative effects of sleep.

Summary: The study found that more participants adopted an optimal, multi-cue strategy following feedback-based training, suggesting the influence of feedback on learning approach. Additionally, participants using a single feature strategy showed a significant decrease in FRN amplitude, indicating potential differences in feedback utilization or prediction error. Overall, the findings suggest that training method affects learning and feedback processing can reflect changes in learning strategies.

Summary: Restrictive eating is a central feature of anorexia nervosa (AN) and other eating disorders. This study examined the behavioral and neural mechanisms of restrictive eating among individuals with and without eating disorders. The findings showed that healthy individuals tended to choose high-fat foods, while patients with AN focused more on the healthiness of the food. Dorsal striatal activation associated with food choice was most pronounced among individuals with AN, and it was significantly associated with selecting fewer high-fat choices and lower caloric intake.

Summary: In a randomized clinical trial with high suicide risk Veterans, it was found that those receiving MBCT-S showed improved attentional control over time, especially in processing affective interference. This suggests that MBCT-S may effectively target attentional control and reduce processing time during emotional interference in high suicide risk Veterans.

Summary: This study examined whether performance on a Go/No-go (GNG) task and computational modeling could enhance prediction of suicide attempts within the next 90 days among individuals at high-risk for suicide. The results showed that increased miss rate on the GNG task predicted actual suicide attempts, while increased false alarm rate predicted other suicide-related events. Computational modeling revealed that decreases in decisional efficiency to targets were specifically associated with upcoming suicide attempts. These findings suggest that GNG testing may improve prediction of near-term suicide risk.

Summary: The study found that Type D personality and social inhibition (SI) were positively correlated with avoidance scores on the avatar task, while negative affectivity (NA) showed a weaker correlation. Additionally, individuals with Type D personality exhibited higher avoidance scores. These findings support the significant role of avoidance in Type D personality.

Summary: Hunger strike can cause Korsakoff's syndrome, and most patients with hunger strike-related KS have impaired learning and transfer abilities in simple association tasks, while some also have slower learning and impairment in transfer in more complex association tasks. This pattern of task-complexity-related impairment in learning and transfer is distinct from the spared learning but impaired transfer previously observed in patients with medial temporal lobe amnesia.
