    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic, in part due to the highly infectious nature of the disease. Because SARS-CoV-2 is new, much is unknown regarding mechanisms of transmission, and such information is urgently needed. Here, based on previous findings from related human betacoronaviruses, it is suggested that one possible route of transmission may be via infectious sweat. It is suggested that research be conducted in order to determine whether sweat in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals harbors virus in quantities that can infect others. Findings could be used for formulations of mitigation strategies and empirically based public health messaging.

    Abstract It has become clear that the two halves of the cortex differ in their contributions to both affective and memory processes. Still, the exact nature of the interrelationships among hemispheric function, emotion, and memory remains elusive. For example, controversy remains regarding differential hemispheric involvement in emotion, motivation, and affective style. Regarding memory, although evidence suggests differences in the manner in which the hemispheres interact may be related to memory retrieval, it is still not certain which factors involved in retrieval encourage or inhibit hemispheric communication. The goal of this Research Topic was to bring together diverse scientific perspectives on lateralized brain mechanisms underlying emotion, motivation, and memory. A range of international experts with diverse backgrounds, theoretical perspectives, and experimental methods contributed to the Topic. These contributions inform our understanding of lateralized affective and cognitive processes by providing thorough reviews of our current state of knowledge based on previous literature, by sharing intriguing new empirical findings, and by proposing theoretical models with testable frameworks to stimulate future research

    Abstract Objective Prior work raises the interesting possibility that both multiple sclerosis and synesthesia share a common etiology, that being immune system dysfunction, as well as neuroanatomical and neurochemical abnormalities, including those involving white matter and serotonergic pathways, respectively. Given these links between these two syndromes, we examined the possibility that prevalence of synesthesia would be elevated in a population of individuals with MS, relative to what is thought to be the prevalence in the neurotypical population. It was not known whether synesthesia might be a marker for subsequent development of MS, or if synesthesia might reflect neurological damage resulting from MS disease progression. Method Individuals with self- reported clinically definite MS were recruited online via the internet and social media using sites specifically relevant to the MS community. Data from 147 individuals who completed several questionnaires related to synesthesia were analyzed. Results Depending on criteria, between approximately 7 and 16% of individuals with MS reported synesthesia here. This is an estimated 1.57 to 3.55 times increased incidence of synesthesia here relative to previous findings in neurotypical samples. Limitations of the study include that this was an internet survey, and that synesthesia was not directly assessed in this sample. Conclusions Results suggest a link between the syndromes, primarily indicating that synesthesia may be a marker for subsequent MS development, and the implications and directions for future study are discussed.

    Abstract Location information is processed through two types of spatial processing; categorical and coordinate processing. Categorical spatial relations indicate where an object is relative to another object, without regard to the metric distance between the two objects. Coordinate spatial relations indicate metric distance without regard to relative location. In human behavioral studies, the magnocellular pathway of the lateral geniculate nucleus has been implicated in coordinate spatial processing abilities. Magnocellular pathway cells (type IV) have a center surround organization, such that red light inhibits neuronal firing. In these behavioral studies, red stimuli decreases coordinate spatial processing accuracy. Prior studies also show that there is a lag between the time of visual stimulus presentation and the time of observing a neural response in the magnocellular pathway. We sought to understand whether prior presentation of red stimuli decreases coordinate spatial performance, and also examined its effects on categorical spatial performance. The results indicate that prior presentation of red stimuli decreases accuracy and perceived confidence on both the categorical and coordinate tasks. These results confirm prior findings of the association between magnocellular pathway function and coordinate spatial processing. Implications for categorical task results and associated neural pathways are discussed.
