| Taylor & Francis Online
ABSTRACT Background This study assessed whether dietary medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation improves outcomes in acute severe encephalopathy patients within a Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Methods A single-center, double-blind, randomized trial was conducted at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (May 2021 – August 2023). Forty-six patients were randomized to MCT supplementation (n = 23) or control (n = 23).

Rats Generate Vibrissal Sensory Evidence until Boundary Crossing Triggers a Decision

|
By Yanfang Zuo, Mathew E. Diamond
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • In a texture identification task, rats make variable numbers of touches per trial • Whisker kinematics—shape, motion, angle—form the texture-encoding evidence • Rats make a choice when primacy-weighted touch-by-touch evidence reaches a boundary • Akin to primate decision making, rats’ choices are governed by bounded integration Summary Behaviors in which primates collect externally generated streams of sensory evidence, such as judgment of random dot motion direction, are...

Texture Identification by Bounded Integration of Sensory Cortical Signals

|
By Mathew E. Diamond, Yanfang Zuo
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • Rats identify textures by carrying out 1–6 vibrissal touches per trial • Somatosensory cortical firing encodes vibrissal kinematics one touch at a time • Somatosensory cortex relays packets of texture evidence to a downstream integrator • Choice is triggered when the evidence across touches is integrated to a boundary Summary Recent work demonstrated that when a rat palpates a surface to identify its texture, signals generated by whisker kinematics are integrated by the brain,...
