Variability in Preprocessing and Analysis of the Error‐Related Negativity in Adult Response‐Conflict Studies: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPsychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of EEG (electroencephalography) data affords many defensible choices, creating substantial researcher degrees of freedom. While stimulus‐locked components such as the N400 show wide methodological variability and incomplete reporting, it has been unclear whether this generalizes to the response‐locked error‐related negativity (ERN)

Dorso‐Ventral and Night‐Day Regulation of Extracellular K+ Dynamics in Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hippocampal astrocytic K+ buffering varies by region and time. Ventral astrocytes show faster K+ accumulation due to reduced Kir4.1 function. Such regional divergence is modulated by circadian shifts in Kir4.1 and gap junction coupling. ABSTRACT Astrocytes regulate extracellular potassium (K+) through multiple mechanisms operating across distinct ...
