Incremental accumulation of linguistic context in artificial and biological neural networks by Refael Tikochinski, Ariel Goldstein, Yoav Meiri, Uri Hasson, Roi Reichart

“…Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown success in predicting neural signals associated with narrative processing, but their approach to integrating context over large timescales differs fundamentally from that of the human brain. In this study, we show how the brain, unlike LLMs that process large text windows in parallel, integrates short-term and long-term contextual information through an incremental mechanism. …”

Humoral Autoimmune Responses to Insulin-Like Growth Factor II mRNA-Binding Proteins IMP1 and p62/IMP2 in Ovarian Cancer by Xinxin Liu, Hua Ye, Liuxia Li, Wenjie Li, Yi Zhang, Jian-Ying Zhang

“…In this study, autoantibody responses to two members (IMP1 and p62/IMP2) of IMPs were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting, and indirect immunofluorescence assay in sera from patients with ovarian cancer and normal human individuals. The results have demonstrated that both IMP1 and p62/IMP2 can induce relatively higher frequency of autoantibody responses in patients with ovarian cancer (26.5% and 29.4%) compared to normal individuals (P<0.01). …”

Effect of Localized Mechanical Indentation on Skin Water Content Evaluated Using OCT by Abhijit A. Gurjarpadhye, William C. Vogt, Yajing Liu, Christopher G. Rylander

“…A swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system was used to assess changes in thickness and group refractive index in ex vivo porcine skin, as well as changes in signal intensity profile when imaging in vivo human skin. Compression of ex vivo porcine skin resulted in an effective strain of −58.5%, an increase in refractive index from 1.39 to 1.50, and a decrease in water volume fraction from 0.66 to 0.20. …”
