Benchmarking normalisation methods for differential binding analysis in CUT&RUN

This study benchmarks normalization methods for differential binding analysis in CUT&RUN, finding data-driven normalization to be most robust and highlighting variable performance of spike-in normalization.

Blaming Luck, Claiming Skill: Self-Attribution Bias in Error Assignment

The paper investigates self-attribution bias in error assignment using a visuomotor task, finding that participants credit successes to skill and blame failures on luck, influenced by distorted self-perception and positivity bias.

Investigating misclassification of type 1 diabetes in a population-based cohort of British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis using polygenic risk scores

This study estimates that ~6% of insulin-treated diabetic individuals with ambiguous features in British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have T1D, highlighting the need for autoantibody and C-peptide testing.

Anatomical Plasticity of the Distal Forelimb Projection of the Ventral Premotor Cortex Four weeks After Primary Motor Cortex Injury

This study shows that 4 weeks after primary motor cortex injury, there are significant neuroplastic changes in cortical connections, including increased boutons and altered fiber pathways between the ventral premotor cortex and somatosensory cortex.
