Social network dynamics, infant loss, and gut microbiota composition in female Colobus vellerosus during time periods with alpha male challenges

Author(s): Samartino S; Christie D; Penna A; Sicotte P; Ting N; Wikberg E;

The gut microbiota of group-living animals is strongly influenced by their social interactions, but it is unclear how it responds to social instability. We investigated whether social instability associated with the arrival of new males and challenges to the alpha male position could explain differences in the gut microbiota in adult female Colobus veller ...

Systematic review of seizure-onset patterns in stereo-electroencephalography: Current state and future directions

Author(s): Abdallah C; Mansilla D; Minato E; Grova C; Beniczky S; Frauscher B;

Objective: Increasing evidence suggests that the seizure-onset pattern (SOP) in stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is important for localizing the "true" seizure onset. Specifically, SOPs with low-voltage fast activity (LVFA) are associated with seizure-free outcome (Engel I). However, several classifications and various terms corresponding to the same ...
