Screen time exposure and executive functions in preschool children by Nemanja Lakicevic, Marko Manojlovic, Elena Chichinina, Patrik Drid, Yury Zinchenko

“…Although gadgets such as phones, tablets and computers might be of educational use in this population, excessive ST might impair cognitive function among preschoolers. As data on this topic in preschool children are scarce, this study sought to investigate the relationship between ST and executive functions (EFs) in this population. …”

Correlations and functional connections in a population of grid cells. by Benjamin Dunn, Maria Mørreaunet, Yasser Roudi

“…We evaluate pairwise correlations between these cells and, using a maximum entropy kinetic pairwise model (kinetic Ising model), study their functional connectivity. Even when we account for the covariations in firing rates due to overlapping fields, both the pairwise correlations and functional connections decay as a function of the shortest distance between the vertices of the spatial firing pattern of pairs of grid cells, i.e. their phase difference. …”
