Reminiscences on the honeybee genome project and the rise of epigenetic concepts in insect science
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 444-456, October 2024.The honeybee genome project was an important milestone in social insect research that opened new possibilities for the community's quest to study social evolution at molecular and cellular levels. Among new lines of research, the epigenomic modifications to DNA, histones and RNAs gained special prominence as potential drivers of phenotypic and ...

EEG functional connectivity as a Riemannian mediator: An application to malnutrition and cognition
Human Brain Mapping, Volume 45, Issue 7, May 2024.This study introduces a novel mediation analysis approach using EEG cross‐spectra to investigate whether malnourishment affects children's cognitive performance. The results indicate that brain function across delta, theta, alpha, and beta band frequencies mediates the impact of malnourishment on cognitive performance in specific brain regions ...
