Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
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 ...

Vestibulo-ocular reflex dynamics with head-impulses discriminates Usher patients type 1 and 2
Usher Syndrome classification takes into account the absence of vestibular function but its correlation with genotype is not well characterized. We intend to investigate whether video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) is useful in screening and to differentiate ...

Does oculomotor inhibition of return influence fixation probability during scene search? [PDF]
Oculomotor inhibition of return (IOR) is believed to facilitate scene scanning by decreasing the probability that gaze will return to a previously fixated location. This “foraging” hypothesis was tested during scene search and in response to sudden-onset

Enhancing spatial cognition through origami training: Insights from brain connectomes
Origami training enhances spatial cognition via measurable brain network changes (EEG/eye‐tracking). The mental rotation and folding tasks validate these gains. This low‐cost method offers a scalable intervention for cognitive decline. Abstract Spatial cognition is a key ability of human cognition and intelligence.

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

Intratympanic Gentamicin Versus Labyrinthectomy: Inner Ear Sensitivity to Gentamicin and Impact on the Contralateral Labyrinth [PDF]
Objectives. To investigate the impact of labyrinthectomy and intratympanic (IT) gentamicin injections on the contralateral labyrinth, we also assessed the response of each individual semicircular canal to each IT gentamicin application. Methods.

A Focus on Selection for Fixation [PDF]
A computational explanation of how visual attention, interpretation of visual stimuli, and eye movements combine to produce visual behavior, seems elusive. Here, we focus on one component: how selection is accomplished for the next fixation.

Lateralized Frontal Eye Field Activity Precedes Occipital Activity Shortly before Saccades: Evidence for Cortico-cortical Feedback as a Mechanism Underlying Covert Attention Shifts [PDF]
Abstract When an eye movement is prepared, attention is shifted toward the saccade end-goal. This coupling of eye movements and spatial attention is thought to be mediated by cortical connections between the FEFs and the visual cortex. Here, we present evidence for the existence of these connections.

Saccadic latency in amblyopia. [PDF]
We measured saccadic latencies in a large sample (total n = 459) of individuals with amblyopia or risk factors for amblyopia, e.g., strabismus or anisometropia, and normal control subjects.

Dangerous Deference: What the British Public Think about Civil‐Military Relations
Abstract Accepted norms of democratic civil‐military relations aver, regarding the use of force, that military officers may not substitute civilians’ judgement with their own and that civilians should not follow their guidance blindly. These theories often rest on the presumption that three critical actors—government, armed forces, and the public ...
