Sensitivity of number of spikes recovered to the prior on spike rate.
<p>(<b>A</b>) Results for two example cells, one well-isolated (blue), and one poorly isolated (red). Adjusting the Bernoulli prior parameter (for each cell individually) alters the threshold used for spike identification (see Methods), which leads to an increase or decrease in the number of estimated spikes. (<b>B</b>) Simulation of detection of a scalar signal contaminated by Gaussian noise, for two different SNRs. Insets indicate histograms of noise observations (black) and signal observations (gray). The number of detections (“hits” plus “false positives”) varies with the choice of threshold, and the shape of the curve depends on the SNR. (<b>C</b>) Error rates (“misses” plus “false positives”) as a function of threshold for the simulations in (B).</p
Poisson–Boltzmann theory of charged colloids: limits of the cell model for salty suspensions
Median (percentiles 25 and 75) of children’s age and cognitive outcomes (working memory and inattentiveness) at each of the 4 repeated visits.

Effect modification by vigorous physical activity.
<p>MetS-W: Metabolic syndrome according to World Health Organization. MetS-I: Metabolic syndrome according to International Diabetes Federation. MetS-A: Metabolic syndrome according to Adult Treatment Panel-III criteria. Active defined as vigorous physical activity ≥30 minutes per week. Inactive defined as vigorous physical activity <30minutes per week. Fully adjusted models include age, sex, educational attainment, neighbourhood socio-economic index, occupational exposure to vapours, gases, dusts and fumes, smoking status, smoked pack-years, exposure to passive smoke, consumption of fruits and raw vegetables, and body mass index. PM<sub>10</sub>: particulate matter <10μm in diameter from all sources. All analyses were done with four-hour fasting participants. Participants’ study area was treated as a random effect in all models. Odds ratio values refer to increments of 10μg/m<sup>3</sup> in PM<sub>10</sub> exposure. Total N = 3684; N(physically-active) = 2115.</p

Estimated effect (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in working memory outcomes and inattentiveness at baseline and their 12-month change in association to school and home exposure to road traffic noise (<i>n</i> = 2,680 children, 9,984 repeats).
Estimated effect (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in working memory outcomes and inattentiveness at baseline and their 12-month change in association to school and home exposure to road traffic noise (n = 2,680 children, 9,984 repeats).</p
Annual trajectories of working memory, complex working memory, and inattentiveness in children attending schools with low and high average road traffic noise levels (LAeq, dB) outdoors in street and playground or indoors in 1 classroom (indoor level) or in each child’s classroom considering change of room between years (individual indoor level).
Y axis: point estimate (beta coefficient), error bars (95% confidence intervals). Predictions for working memory (2-back number stimuli, d′), complex working memory (3-back number stimuli, d′), and inattentiveness (HRT-SE, ms) adjusted at the means of age, sex, corresponding road traffic noise indicator, age*road traffic noise indicator, maternal education, socioeconomical vulnerability index at home and outdoor or indoor TRAP at school for models including outdoor or indoor noise levels, respectively. Child and school included as nested random effects. d′: detectability, a higher value indicates better working memory; HRT-SE: hit reaction time standard error, a higher value indicates greater inattentiveness; LAeq: A-weighted equivalent noise levels; TRAP: traffic-related air pollution.</p
Estimated unadjusted effect (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in cognitive outcomes at baseline and their 12-month change in association to school and home exposure to road traffic noise (<i>n</i> = 2,680 children, 9,984 repeats).

Sensitivity Analyses.
<p>Fully adjusted models include age, sex, educational attainment, neighbourhood socio-economic index, occupational exposure to vapours, gases, dusts and fumes, smoking status, smoked pack-years, exposure to passive smoke, consumption of fruits and raw vegetables, physical activity and body mass index. MI: multiple imputations. IPW: inverse probability weighting. PM<sub>10</sub>: particulate matter <10μm in diameter from all sources. NO<sub>2</sub>: nitrogen dioxide. OR: odds ratio. CI: confidence interval. OR refer to increments of 10μg/m<sup>3</sup> in PM<sub>10</sub>, and NO<sub>2</sub> exposure respectively. All analyses were done with four-hour fasting participants.</p><p>Sensitivity Analyses.</p
