Summary: This article challenges the traditional view of early nervous systems focusing on a causal flow from sensors to effectors, emphasizing instead the importance of reafferent sensing, which responds to the consequences of the animal's own actions. It also discusses the ubiquitous nature of reafference in various animal species and its significance to the evolution of the body-self.

Summary: Life is a temporary flux, and our conscious perception emerges in discrete forms. This article explores how our self-continuity is preserved despite moment-to-moment changes, proposing that a precise temporal integration mechanism, including the principles of reafference or corollary discharge and a time theory, helps maintain a smooth and continuous sense of self, which is crucial for perceiving purpose and meaning in life.

Summary: The study attempts to link the mechanism of efference copy with the idea that senses have a dual function, leading to a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness.

Summary: Saccadic adaptation is a cerebellar-dependent learning process that aims to preserve saccade accuracy. This study suggests that the cerebellum may contribute to perceptual changes associated with adaptation, in addition to its role in adjusting motor commands.

Summary: This study showed that deafening had a significant impact on the vocal development of juvenile pale spear-nosed bats, leading to increased vocal activity, shorter, higher-pitched, and more aperiodic vocalizations. The results suggest that the pale spear-nosed bat relies on auditory feedback for vocal development, and without this input, atypical vocalizations are acquired.

Summary: This study utilized deep learning models (LSTM and Bi-LSTM) for daily and multi-step forward forecasting of ET0, with results showing that the Bi-LSTM model outperformed other models.

Summary: Steroid hormones induce changes in behavior by remodeling neural networks. In this study, we investigated the effects of hormones on corollary discharge in mormyrid fish and found that testosterone levels elongated electric pulses and delayed the timing of receptor responses. We also determined that the shift in inhibition timing of corollary discharge was not dependent on sensory feedback, but rather directly regulated by testosterone.

Summary: The brain uses both Bayesian and discriminative models of perception during active vision, depending on task requirements (continuous vs categorical) and the source of uncertainty (image noise vs motor-driven noise). Human subjects were found to be Bayesian for continuous judgments but anti-Bayesian for categorical judgments, while macaques showed similar results. This comparative analysis offers insights into the neural organization of the saccadic system.

Summary: Researchers should steer clear of proprietary models and instead focus on creating transparent large language models for the sake of reproducibility.

Summary: The brain interprets sensory inputs to guide behavior, but behavior itself disrupts sensory inputs. Perceiving a coherent world while acting in it constitutes active perception. We tested the hypothesis that the percept of visual stability is Bayesian, and found that priors are used more as sensory uncertainty increases.

Summary: There is considerable interest in understanding cortical processing and the function of top-down and bottom-up human neural circuits that control speech production. The unique study examined cortical activity during speech vowel sound vocalization and listening tasks in a deaf subject with bilateral cochlear implants and medically intractable epilepsy, demonstrating that gamma activity in the superior temporal gyrus reflects a combination of auditory and non-auditory related activation of the auditory cortex during speech production.

Summary: In this study, three machine learning models were developed to predict the discharge coefficient of a radial gate under different flow conditions. Results indicated better prediction accuracy under free flow condition.

Summary: A purely data-driven discharge prediction model was developed and tested based on experimental data, which can predict multiple key diagnostic signals and check the consistency of expected signals in the proposal stage. It improves the rationality of tokamak experimental proposals.

Summary: Dopamine encodes cue-reward prediction errors during Pavlovian conditioning, but its role in controlling sequential behavior remains largely unknown. Previous studies primarily use discrete reward-predictive stimuli, and it is still unclear whether dopamine represents action-outcome prediction errors.

Summary: The study demonstrates the generalizability and validation of machine learning models in predicting the likelihood of nonhome discharge. Patient age, body mass index, and surgical indication were found to be the strongest predictors of nonhome discharge. Artificial neural network emerged as the best predictive model, aiding in optimizing discharge planning, bed management, and cost containment associated with revision total knee arthroplasty.
