Dissociating the roles of alpha oscillation sub-bands in visual working memory by Na Zhao, Qiang Liu

“…Our results revealed that lower alpha (8–9 Hz) exhibits widespread event-related desynchronization (ERD) during the early maintenance phase, which increases with set size and reflects attentional allocation to individual memory items. In contrast, upper alpha (10–12 Hz) demonstrates posteriorly localized ERD that is strongly associated with the spatial extent of memory arrays. …”

Role of prescribed medication in the development of iron deficiency anaemia in adults—a case–control study by Orouba Almilaji, Jonathon Snook, Kiran Prabhu, Elizabeth Williams, Frazer Warricker

“…IDA was not associated with long-term exposure to any of the other three drug classes. In contrast to the relationship with PPIs, the association with OACs was primarily in the IDA sub-group with haemorrhagic lesions.Conclusion Long-term exposure to PPIs and OACs are independently associated with the risk of developing IDA. …”
