The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for phenotyping seizures and epilepsy in rodent models. A report of the TASK3‐WG1C: Phenotyping working group of the ILAE/AES joint translational task force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by spontaneous seizures and behavioral comorbidities. The underlying mechanisms of seizures and epilepsy across various syndromes lead to diverse clinical presentation and features. Similarly, animal models of epilepsy arise from numerous dissimilar inciting events.
