Late emergence of pathological oscillatory activity in the retina of the Retinitis pigmentosa model RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) rat
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a leading cause of blindness. The best studied models of human RP are the rd1 and rd10 mouse and the RCS rat (Royal College of Surgeons). In many models after degeneration of the photoreceptors, a pathological rhythmic activity of the retina as well as lowered efficiency of electrical stimulation were observed. In rd10 retina, both events were shown to be intimately linked. Surprisingly, to our knowledge no retinal oscillations have been reported in RCS retina. As o…

Die Regierung #Merz macht weiter mit ihren Angriffen auf Demokratie und Rechtsstaat.
Die CDU holt besonders gerne Döpfners Bild-Mitarbeiter in Ministerien. Auch Bundesgesundheitsministerin Nina Warken setzt auf Springer-Personal mit möglichst geringer Moral. Ihr Pressesprecher Hanno Kautz droht nun unverholen Journalist*innen mit einer Verfolgung auf Kopfgeldbasis.
Wie weit will diese Reg…

Pressesprecher droht Journalisten: "Wäre Riesenfreude, den- oder diejenige zu erwischen"
Bundesgesundheitsministerin Nina Warken (CDU) hat Journalisten zum Hintergrundgespräch eingeladen. Nach dem vermeintlichen Routinetermin ging es hoch her. Der Ministeriumssprecher verschickte eine Drohmail.

Scientists who review manuscripts for journals, question for you! Journal B invites a reviewer who has already recommended rejection when the manuscript was being considered by Journal A. In terms of the ethical thing to do when this #reviewer is invited to review the same #manuscript for Journal B.....
It is OK to agree and then submit the same review
It is NOT OK to agree and submit the same review

Russia and Belarus release two journalists who had been detained for years - Committee to Protect Journalists

Karnei, detained for nearly 2...

Het NOS journaal laat even weten wat 'gewone' Moskovieten van de Russische oorlog tegen Oekraine vinden. Ja, Rusland heeft gelijk, Oekraine heeft dit aan zichzelf te wijten etc. etc.
Maar het NOS journaal vergeet daarbij te vermelden dat deze Moskovieten bij een tegengeluid het risico lopen om 10 jaar dwangarbeid in de Oeral op te lopen wegens "landverraad'.
Is dit nou domheid, onachtzaamheid, of wat anders? Waarom de Putin propaganda ongefilterd doorgeven?

Wenn Regierungssprecher Journalisten mit 'Kopfgeld' und 'Ergreifung des Übeltäters' drohen, ist das kein schlechter Scherz, sondern ein direkter Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit. Dass Hanno Kautz im Gesundheitsministerium danach mit der billigen 'Ironie'-Ausrede kommt, macht es nur noch peinlicher. (Jonas Mueller-Töwe, t-online

Auch angesichts der laufenden SPD-Parteitagsaufführung muss ich es noch einmal sagen: Wenn es bei einer Abstimmung einen chancenreichen Gegenkandidaten gibt, nennt das Journalisty den Vorgang eine »Kampfabstimmung«. Gibt es keinen Gegenkandidaten, wie etwa bei Lars Klingbeil, spricht das Journalisty von einer »Wahl«. Schon seit Jahrzehnten. Schon so lange ich denken kann. Journalistys haben lieber starke Führer als demokratische Zustände, und deshalb stanzen sie solche Maßstäbe ins Gehirn.…

Object knowledge representation in the human visual cortex requires a connection with the language system
This study shows that communication between the visual cortex and the brain language system is necessary for the representation of object knowledge in the visual cortex and for corresponding behaviors in humans. This highlights the significance of connections between sensory and language systems for object knowledge in the human brain.
