Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the challenges of manually analyzing root dynamics using images, highlighting issues like time consumption and annotator bias, especially in complex forest soils.
  • AI tools, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), were tested for their ability to analyze root lengths in a diverse forest setting, but showed limitations in accuracy and precision compared to human experts.
  • Results indicated that less experienced annotators overestimate root lengths, while the CNN model, though faster, still lacked the accuracy needed for ecological research, suggesting the need for further refinement of AI tools for natural environments.*

Atypical benign partial epilepsy (ABPE) of childhood or pseudo-Lennox syndrome is a form of idiopathic focal epilepsy characterized by multiple seizure types, focal and/or generalized epileptiform discharges, continuous spike-wave during sleep (CSWS), and sometimes reversible neurocognitive deficits. There are few reported cases of ABPE describing detailed correlative longitudinal follow-up of the various associated neurocognitive, language, social communicative, or motor deficits, in parallel with the epilepsy. Furthermore, the molecular inheritance pattern for ABPE and the wider spectrum of epilepsy aphasia disorders have yet to be fully elucidated.
