Long‐lasting remodeling of astrocytes in an Scna1+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a prototypical developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, leading to loss of function of the voltage‐gated sodium channel Naᵥ1.1. The latter causes early onset drug‐resistant seizures and enduring cognitive and behavioral deficits.

The politics of impact: How political ideology shapes perceptions of the environmental impact of individual actions

Journal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although consumers who engage in the same sustainable behaviors objectively have the same environmental impact, this research finds that people's perceptions of that impact are subjective and systematically shaped by political ideology. Seven studies demonstrate that conservatives tend to perceive their sustainable actions to have less of a ...

Collaborative Sampling and Imaging of Phytoplankton Communities by Two Long‐Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using Acoustic Tracking and Messaging

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborative operation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can effectively achieve scientific goals that are hard to achieve by independently operated vehicles. Some science payloads are large, expensive, and need to be installed in the vehicle's nose cone. A vehicle can only carry one such payload.
