Different cortical regions have been implicated in mathematical learning, but their causal role is less clear. This study reveals the causal role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the frontoparietal network in mathematical learning using transcranial neuromodulation in human participants.Read Article

N2 sleep promotes the occurrence of ‘aha’ moments in a perceptual insight task

Sleep supports memory consolidation, but can it also facilitate memory reorganization? This study reveals that N2 sleep, but not N1 sleep during a nap, increases the likelihood of having an 'aha' moment about a previous decision-making task, and that spectral slopes of EEG power spectra predict future insights.Read Article

Change in confidence in public health entities among US adults between 2020–2024

Rev-RRE activity modulates HIV-1 replication and latency reactivation: Implications for viral persistence and cure strategies

The activity of the HIV-1 Rev-RRE axis is essential for viral replication and varies among primary viral isolates. However, the role of this for viral fitness, evolution, and persistence has not previously been investigated. Our results show that during in vitro replication, there is a selective fitness advantage for a virus with higher Rev-RRE activity and that HIV has the ability to fine-tune this regulatory system with minimal sequence change…Science Read Article
