Encoding of cerebellar dentate neuron activity during visual attention in rhesus macaques by Nico A Flierman, Sue Ann Koay, Willem S van Hoogstraten, Tom JH Ruigrok, Pieter Roelfsema, Aleksandra Badura, Chris I De Zeeuw

“…We found that single-unit DN neurons modulated spiking activity over the entire time course of the task, and that their activity often bridged temporally separated intra-trial events, yet in a heterogeneous manner. To better understand the heterogeneous relationship between task structure, behavioral performance, and neural dynamics, we constructed a behavioral, an encoding, and a decoding model. …”

Comments on: “Early High-Titer Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Patients with Moderate and Severe COVID-19” [Transfusion and Apheresis Science 61 (2022) 103321] by Seyed Reza Hosseiniara

“…Specifically, 88% of patients experienced cardiac events, and 66% encountered thrombotic events while undergoing convalescent plasma treatment for COVID-19.10 Moreover, some studies reporting positive outcomes associated with convalescent plasma therapy did not utilize this treatment in isolation but rather as an adjunct to standard therapies.11Among studies that employed convalescent plasma therapy alone, Agarwal et al.,12 noted minor improvements in shortness of breath and fatigue; however, the evaluators were not blinded to subject data, which raises concerns about the reliability of their findings. …”
