This study now shows that the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine appears to be safe with good immunogenicity in the large population of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.From its identification and isolation in 1954, arginine vasopressin (AVP) has attracted attention, not only for its peripheral functions such as vasoconstriction and reabsorption of water from kidney, but also for its central effects. As there is now considerable evidence that AVP plays a crucial role in feeding behavior and energy balance, it has become a promising therapeutic target for treating obesity or other obesity-related metabolic disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms for AVP regulation of these central processes still remain largely unknown. In this review, we will provide a brief overview of the current knowledge concerning how AVP controls energy balance and feeding behavior, focusing on physiological aspects including the relationship between AVP, circadian rhythmicity, and glucocorticoids. A central goal of systems neuroscience is to understand the relationships amongst constituent units in neural populations, and their modulation by external factors, using high-dimensional and stochastic neural recordings. Parametric statistical models (e.g., coupling, encoding, and decoding models), play an instrumental role in accomplishing this goal. However, extracting conclusions from a parametric model requires that it is fit using an inference algorithm capable of selecting the correct parameters and properly estimating their values. Traditional approaches to parameter inference have been shown to suffer from failures in both selection and estimation. The recent development of algorithms that ameliorate these deficiencies raises the question of whether past work relying on such inference procedures
