The temporal structure of sensory inputs contains essential information for their interpretation. Sensory cortex represents these temporal cues through two codes: the temporal sequences of neuronal activity and the spatial patterns of neuronal firing rate. However, it is unknown which of these coexisting codes causally drives sensory decisions.

Article Synopsis
  • Training mice for perceptual tasks using medial forebrain bundle (MFB) stimulation instead of traditional rewards improves the number of trials per session without causing deprivation.
  • The protocol includes steps for MFB electrode implantation, testing its efficacy, and calibrating stimulation to ensure effective use.
  • This MFB reward system enhances the training of sensory discrimination tasks in mice, contributing to a better understanding of their psychophysical abilities.

Perceptual decision-making tasks are essential to many fields of neuroscience. Current protocols generally reward deprived animals with water. However, balancing animals' deprivation level with their well-being is challenging, and trial number is limited by satiation.

The Double degree in Health and Sciences (DCSS) provides an early training in research for future healthcare professionals. The profound transformation of the healthcare system and the advent of new analytical and digital technologies highlight the urgent need to link research to clinical practice. At the international level, especially in the United States, these programs point out the key role of healthcare professionals with both medical and scientific expertise.

Maritime processes involve actors and systems that continuously change their underlying environment, location and threat exposure. Thus, risk mitigation requires a dynamic risk assessment process, coupled with an adaptive, event driven security enforcement mechanism, to efficiently deal with dynamically evolving risks in a cost efficient manner. In this paper, we propose an adaptive security framework that covers both situational risk assessment and situational driven security policy deployment.
