Article Synopsis
- Sperm competition drives males to produce competitive ejaculates, but our knowledge about how sperm traits affect fertilization success, especially in wild populations, is limited.
- Recent studies emphasize the need to analyze multiple ejaculate traits along with pre-copulatory factors to fully understand sperm trait selection.
- In the red-back fairy-wren, sperm quantity, rather than size, significantly impacts male reproductive success, with males having more sperm achieving higher paternity success, indicating a defensive strategy against sperm competition.
Objective: An epilepsy mouse model for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) was developed and validated to investigate the mechanisms underlying epileptogenesis. Furthermore, the possible antiepileptogenic properties of commonly used antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and new compounds were assessed.
Methods: Tsc1 deletion was induced in CAMK2A-expressing neurons of adult mice.
