Diversity and Guilds of Ants in Different Land-Use Systems in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente
This study aimed to evaluate the ant fauna in three different land-use systems: pasture, eucalyptus plantation and secondary forest, in southeastern Brazil. The ant fauna was collected with standardized pitfall traps.

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

Artificial intelligence for adaptive neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects nearly one third of people with epilepsy and is associated with substantial cognitive, psychiatric, and mortality burdens. For patients who are not candidates for resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy, neuromodulation therapies such as vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and ...

Mindfulness meditation increases interictal epileptiform discharges in meditation‐naïve surgical epilepsy patients

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meditation has widely recognized psychological and neuromodulatory benefits, yet its effects on epileptiform activity remain unclear. This study examined whether novice meditation modulates interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG).

Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who undergo anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS), efficacy is assessed months after therapy initiation and clinicians have no guidance when choosing stimulation parameters due to the lack of real‐time biomarkers.

Comparative multicenter evaluation of thalamic neuromodulation for treatment‐resistant epilepsy in children

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Use of neuromodulation strategies targeting thalamic nuclei, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS), for treatment of pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is increasing, despite limited evidence for efficacy and safety. We present the initial results from the Comparative Multicenter Evaluation

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Testing the Social Investment Principle Around Childbirth: Little Evidence for Personality Maturation Before and After Becoming a Parent

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract In line with the social investment principle, becoming a parent should lead to more mature behaviour and an increase in conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability. However, previous research provided mixed results that do not support this idea.

Unrecognized Ant Megadiversity in the Australian Monsoonal Tropics: The Monomorium nigrius Forel Group Revisited

Diversity
A previous analysis of diversity within the Monomorium nigrius Forel group, formally recognized as a single species, concluded that >200 species may occur in the Australian monsoonal tropics (AMT).
