Article Synopsis
  • The research investigates how variations in microbial communities in seasonally flooded forests are influenced not just by environmental factors, but also by plant traits.
  • Two null models were used to analyze microbial communities from 72 seedlings of seven tropical tree species in French Guiana, revealing the dominance of stochastic processes in community assembly, with differences observed between fungi and bacteria.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of understanding tree species and their associated microbial communities to better inform adaptation strategies in the context of climate change, suggesting further exploration of additional plant traits.

Purpose: Patients with severe drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) experience psychomotor disorders. Our study aimed to assess the psychomotor outcomes after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in this population.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated psychomotor function in 17 adult patients with severe DRE who were referred for VNS.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe and analyze psychomotor functions in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and identify factors associated with psychomotor deficits.

Methods: We performed a prospective case-control study comparing psychomotor skill performances in 40 adult patients and 80 healthy individuals between October 2017 and March 2018. Psychomotor functions were examined in both patients and controls using a full set of specific tests (Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test, Zazzo's cancelation task, Piaget-Head test, and paired images test).
