Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...

Variations in Seed Dormancy Occurrence and Their Classifications in Thirteen Actinidia Species

Seeds
As differences in seed dormancy between Actinidia species have not been reported previously, in this study we characterized the variation in the dormancy of seeds in 13 kiwifruit species that originated from different regions of China and Taiwan, and for

A Conceptual Framework for Winter Dormancy in Deciduous Trees

Agronomy, 2020
The perennial life strategy of temperate trees relies on establishing a dormant stage during winter to survive unfavorable conditions. To overcome this dormant stage, trees require cool (i.e., chilling) temperatures as an environmental cue.

Very High‐Frequency Oscillations in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Identifying the Epileptogenic Zone

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the reliability of very high‐frequency oscillations (VHFOs, 500–2000 Hz) as biomarkers in identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) patients. Methods We reviewed 19 MTLE patients who underwent stereo‐electroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation.

Physical Seed Dormancy in Legumes: Molecular Advances and Perspectives

Plants
Physical dormancy of seeds is a form of dormancy due to the presence of an impermeable seed coat layer, and it represents a feature for plants to adapt to environmental changes over an extended period of phylogenetic evolution.

Redefining Seed Dormancy: An Attempt to Integrate Physiology and Ecology

The Journal of Ecology, 1995
Summary 1 The paper reviews the literature on seed dormancy, with special regard to incon­ sistencies in terms and definitions used. It presents a concept of seed dormancy in which physiology and ecology are integrated. Its aim is to increase the understanding of seed dormancy and germination, and to help defining ecological research questions. 2 It is

Deciphering a Sleeping Pathogen: Uncovering Novel Transcriptional Regulators of Hypoxia-Induced Dormancy in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Along the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB), hypoxia-induced dormancy is a process involving the oxygen-depleted environment encountered inside the lung granuloma, where bacilli enter a viable, non-replicating state termed as latency. Affecting nearly two billion people, latent TB can linger in the host for indefinite periods of time ...

Threshold Values of Sleep Spindles Features in Healthy Adults Using Scalp‐EEG and Associations With Sleep Parameters

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sleep spindles are an electrophysiological fingerprint of the sleeping human brain. They can be described in terms of duration, frequency, amplitude, and density, and vary widely according to age and sex. Spindles play a role in sleep and wake functions and are altered in several neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Actinidia DRM1--an intrinsically disordered protein whose mRNA expression is inversely correlated with spring budbreak in kiwifruit. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a relatively recently defined class of proteins which, under native conditions, lack a unique tertiary structure whilst maintaining essential biological functions.

A Touch of Sleep: Biophysical Model of Contact-mediated Dormancy of Archaea by Viruses [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The canonical view of the interactions between viruses and their microbial hosts presumes that changes in host and virus fate require the initiation of infection of a host by a virus. That is, first virus particles diffuse randomly outside of host cells, then the virus genome enters the target host cell, and only then do intracellular dynamics and ...
