The ability to localize sound sources rapidly allows human beings to efficiently understand the surrounding environment. Previous studies have suggested that there is an auditory "where" pathway in the cortex for processing sound locations. The neural activation in regions along this pathway encodes sound locations by opponent hemifield coding, in which each unilateral region is activated by sounds coming from the contralateral hemifield. However, it is still unclear how these regions interact with each other to form a unified representation of the auditory space. In the present study, we investigated whether functional connectivity in the auditory "where" pathway encoded sound locations during passive listening. Participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while passively listening to sounds from five distinct horizontal locations (-90°, -45°, 0°, 45°, 90°). We were able to decode sound locations from the functional connectivity patterns of the "where" pathway. Furthermore, we found that such neural representation of sound locations was primarily based on the coding of sound lateralization angles to the frontal midline. In addition, whole-brain analysis indicated that functional connectivity between occipital regions and the primary auditory cortex also encoded sound locations by lateralization angles. Overall, our results reveal a lateralization-angle-based representation of sound locations encoded by functional connectivity patterns, which could add on the activation-based opponent hemifield coding to provide a more precise representation of the auditory space.

Based on the relevant policy documents of deepening medical service price reform in the pilot cities,combined with research and interviews,it analyzes the practical progress of measuring the total amount of medical service price adjustments in the pilot cities and the overall distribution of the total amount,the classification of items for pricing and dynamic adjustment,and the monitoring and assessment.It is suggested to explore the construction of a concise indicator system and a practical measurement method,consider the sustainability of the total price adjustment of medical services,and continue to optimize and improve the price adjustment mechanism of medical service price items.

Objective:To explore the structural characteristics of the medical service price network in the Yangtze River Delta,and provide a new management perspective for the collaborative governance of medical service prices in the Yangtze River Delta.Methods:Taking the related medical security bureaus of some core cities in the Yangtze River Delta as samples,based on the social network analysis method,the structural characteristics of price linkage network are analyzed from the perspectives of network density and correlation,individual centrality and block model analysis.Results:Firstly,the price network is not tight and has poor stability;secondly,the price network is unbalanced,with the Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau playing different roles;thirdly,the price network has obvious spatial aggregation and spatial spillover.Conclusion:The overall situation of the medical service price linkage network is not optimistic,and the network advantages should be fully integrated to promote the coordinated development of medical service prices in the Yangtze River Delta Region.
