Hippocampal ripples encode predicted uncertainty and shape cortical responses, intracranial study shows

Intracranial recordings from 17 patients show hippocampal sharp‑wave ripples increase before unpredictable stimuli (high entropy) and are linked to faster responses; poststimulus fusiform→hippocampus gamma carries surprise‑related signals.

Scientific Reports study: menstrual cycle alters cardiac autonomic control but not strength or mood

A Scientific Reports study found menstrual-cycle phases change heart rate variability and autonomic balance but did not alter muscle strength, mood or motivation; the result suggests wearables' HRV readings can reflect predictable hormonal shifts.
