ILAE neuroimaging task force highlight: The utility of multimodal neuroimaging in diagnostic and presurgical workup of drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force publishes educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy, consistent with ILAE's educational mission. In patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who are candidates for surgical intervention, the identification of structural abnormalities is a strong predictor of favorable ...

Three's a crowd: The relationship among endoparasites, an epibiont and their Daphnia host

Oikos, EarlyView.
In freshwater communities, organisms interact in a variety of ways, including predation, competition and parasitism. Parasites are ubiquitous, playing an important role in shaping freshwater communities. Endoparasites live within internal organs of their host, while ectoparasites, also known as epibionts, are confined to the external part of the host's
